Haven't made it to any stores yet (going tomorrow), but some of the gift shops had low inventory following derby week. Poor planning on my part

Did pick up 3 new recipes of the Four Roses private barrel, all signed by Brent Elliott.

..it's sweeter and smoother which is not something I always love but in this case I do.

That's pretty nice.

Yeh, Derby week was a mad run I'm sure

Found some 4 Roses single barrel for $40 is that a good deal?
Also scored some FBS for about $13/4pack

How does that Elios compare to the Martin's pick?



In my life experience, Elios blows Martin's out the water when it comes to Bourbon

So apparently the LE bookers rye is going to have a suggested retail price of $300.

Here is a link to the whiskey wash article about it. I think it said 13 years in there.

My guy was telling me the few stores in south Florida who are going to get it are probably going to charge closer to $400. That's just crazy, but we all know it'll sell.

It seems like they are trying to price at a secondary price... But that just means secondary will start at 600-700 instead of 300-400.

Supposedly there are fewer bottles of this than the Bookers 25th.

In bourbon selection, I would agree. I was referring to that Martin's ER10 barrel pick from last year, it is fantastic. I have an Elios ER10 but haven't tried it yet. Might need to do a side by side tonight.
