I guess $500 isn't terrible since the last one I saw sold for $900.

I would say my cap is $500 but would only tell the wife it was $200.

Thats a hard one...my unicorn bottle is a pappy decanter set but I sure as hell done want to shell out the $$$$ people ask for them. Most I have spent is around 1500.

I'm a 4R fan boy but not sure I'd spend $500 on it... I think I'd prefer two 125's for that $$. It would be so badass to have it and get it signed by Rutledge though..

Eta: Got my 2 rooms booked for Kentucky bourbon festival next September. If anyone is going, you might wanna call sooner than later.. They were over 75% booked as of today.

Apparently its some kind of fall break for elementary schools or some stupid shite.. Bad arse little frickers running around everywhere. Us with no kids are the minority

I think my limit would be $500 for the same bottle.
But if I happened to come across an unopened bottle, in mint condish, of pre '72 PVW from SW....then I think all bets are off. Of course i'd have to take out a loan just to afford it.

Unc, don't forget to stay on the dates for those event tickets too. They sell out nearly as fast as the rooms. I'm jealous tho, the more I think about it, i'm feeling I need to go back again.
