I hate the buy out the shelf guy. The first time I saw Blanton's, there were 5 I could have grabbed. But I thought that would have been a complete a-hole move, so I took one. Yesterday I saw 6 EC toasted barrels on a shelf. Could have wiped that out since I really like it, but just grabbed one for me and one for a friend.

There's a few times where I wish I would've bought a second bottle of something, but never more than that.

Agree on Blanton's. Got into whiskey a few years ago when Blanton's was easier to fine. I've purchase a few bottles from $50-$60. I like it well enough but I'm not sure why it is getting so much hype. Even at $60 there are better options. It's a nice bottle to have and a nice bottle for a gift but I'm not sure why people are going insane over it.

I cannot agree with this more. I was at Rouses and they had 5 EC Toasted Barrel bottles. $46. I bought 1. Every now and then I’ll buy two of something that’s hard to find just so I can have a backup. And if I buy to trade, I’m trading at MSRP. Blantons is so overhyped it’s stupid. Great pour at $55. Anything more and you are getting screwed by buying into hype. The bottle I’m holding out hope to find is the JD Barrel Proof Rye. If I came across it, as much as I’d like to get it, I wouldn’t pay secondary for it.
