Have been seeing people trying to give away bookers 25th for cost and not many bites. So in order to get btac I would think min 2 for handy and 3 min for anything else. To be honest 3 bookers is still not in the ballpark of quality of btac. Pappy is not even a thought to be honest.

Agree with gmrkr, even for this year's BTAC, it'll probably cost you two Bookers 25th. Most of them on there are going for cost + shipping. If you want it to gain value, you'll likely need to sit on it for quite some time.

Ok boys...long time lurker here, but I figured for my first post I'd show you a little bottle of something I was given last night.

By the way, I am of the fairer sex...a lovely southern lady who loves her bourbon!

Be kind to the new gal!

Oh don't worry....no WAY I'm laying down my first post at the OT! Figured you boys would give me a warmer welcome



Yes, the bottle was given to me by a friend. He's an eccentric old dude with one HELL of a wine/spirits collection. His wine collection is mind boggling to say the least! Anyway, last night I was over there for dinner with a mutual friend and we were digging through his liquor cabinet...low and behold we came across this bottle with about an inch of dust on it. I commented about how lucky he was to have that and I wish I had a bottle. His reply....
"Take it, drink it, enjoy it"

AND.I.DID!

haven't cracked it open yet, but plan to at some point


I know, I know...

Chicks always have and will have the advantage P-power

And thats the 2nd release of it with the gold wax....first is the blue wax and last was the gold foil and gold foil in the humidor set. He gave you a ~$800 bottle of bourbon.

New bourbon hunting plan: Get invited to dinner parties at eccentric old ladies houses.

My luck, they would give me an old figurine of a cat or something.

I realized this after I got home and did a little research. I knew I had my hands on a VERY good bottle, but didn't realize just how good. I'm a lucky gal, and my friend is a very generous person.

Having said that, I would kill to have the collection that some of you guys have. I have a pretty modest collection going...about 30 bottles of various bourbons/whiskeys. I have read through this entire thread over the last few months and there's been some great recommendations. I'll be posting on here more if you guys don't mind?

Sounds good. You don't see a bourbon drinking woman often. I tried getting my wife to enjoy some with me but no go... She sticks to her wine and martinis.
