What's the scoop on the AE cask strength? I've been seeing a few bottles on BX.

Rumor is that 4R125 will likely be Whiskey of the Year 2013. I was lucky enough to get 3 bottles of it

I guess it all depends on what they're worth to you. The 4R125 is starting to go as high as $250 on BX and Craigslist. I hate having to pay those exorbitant prices mostly b/c I don't want to feed the trolls that are buying up all the good whiskey just to turn around a make a big profit off it.

Yea, that's the thing. I've heard great things but haven't had either. I figured that would equal about 160/bottle without shipping, which is about 50% markup (I think). Not terrible, but I'm always nervous buying something for that much over retail when I haven't had it.

Didn't ask yet. Both were looking to trade only.. One was asking for pappy so I'm guessing it's up there in price.

I was able to pick up three bottles of Stagg(not Jr.) out of town. If anyone is interested in a trade in the Baton Rouge area let me know. I don't want to sell, just possibly trade for something hard to find.
