There were two on the shelf, he said they got 6 in total, 3 are being saved for the raffle. It was $155 ($170 w tax).
This stuff is unbelievable. The best bourbon I’ve ever tasted. I am seriously considering going back to get another bottle. They hit the shelf today

Martin’s owns Wines Unlimited (where CoK comes from) therefor they don’t have distribution markup like us... that’s why it’s 20 dollars cheaper. Same with all the wines unlimited wine they sell as well

I understand, but I did grab one from y’all as well. Just giving the guys here a heads up. Don’t worry, your bottles will move.
This is the best bourbon I’ve ever tasted. It’s hard to believe there is no flavoring added (which would make a non-bourbon).
That stuff is better than my PVW20 (SW bottle). There, I said it.

Like I said earlier, it’s better than my PVW20. It is a small batch, hand crafted bourbon by Four Roses retired master distiller Rutledge. You would swear he added all types of flavorings to it. It’s hard to believe this is bourbon. IMO, well worth the $130-155 a bottle.

Just a heads up to this group....

The Bin Q store pick of Eagle Rare is absolutely fantastic and a freaking steal at 38. Had a pour a bit ago and left with 3 bottles.

Tons of 3yr Willet still as well.

Was this aimed at the Cream of Kentucky post because it is actually Barton bourbon?
