Stopped at the store for a cheap bottle of brown to bring to grand isle... had a nice surprise for me.

You cant convince me there is $440 dollars difference in those two bottles.

I agree with this... I’m not nearly as serious about the brown as most of y’all, but I have been lucky to taste some of the rare stuff. It’s hard for me to justify a bottle of pappy when I can get blantons (when I come across it) or the EH Taylor for 60ish bucks. I just don’t get that much more flavor enjoyment out of the rare stuff

I will by the rare at retail for sure, I was just responding to Wick's statement about how non whisky people just want to run out and buy a bottle of the rayer for a gift on like Dec 20th-23rd. Then feeling like they need to pay secondary cause the whisky is so much better than EHTSB, Blantons, 4 Roses barrel picks etc.

Anyone ever had a traditional old fashioned made with lemon instead of orange peel? When drockw1 and I were at Olive or Twist last week they made it with a lemon. IT was different and crisper, not bad. Not something I would want all the time but it was good.

buddy of mine just told me a store of his is selling 23 for $2400

No liquor is worth that IMO... someone will sadly spend it though

Hate to disappoint you bargain hunters, but Rouses on Bluebonnet just sold their $899 bottle of LotB. Maybe Donny will reach into his stash and offer another one at the same price if you ask nicely.
