Let me pour me a sip of Eagle Rare and think about my answer. Eagle Rare is a great pour, it was a cheap drink at one point but word has spread that it’s a good pour and is now hard to find. Another good one is Very Old Bartons

Makes relationships with a couple of stores, it's getting harder and harder with the hard to find bottles. Most of them end up on the secondary market for a 5-6x retail. Don't call liquor stores asking if they have xxxx bourbon, they will lie to you because they get those calls all day. Good thing is my fiance is the Regional Manager for a liquor store. But it's still hard to find some of them out there.

There are private groups on Facebook for this. People put bottles up and you buy spots and they use some states daily lottery to draw the winning spot. My buddy got a $600 bottle of Pappys for two spots at $25 each. Of course you could never win as well. Some bottles up to $2K. Pretty nuts.

Looks better like this Tell me a little about that one. I like wheated bourbons as well as trying barrel proof. Many are surprisingly good considering their alcohol content.

I was impressed, it is very good. It is good neat or on the rocks. I am thinking of trying the Weller CYPB this evening, we'll see.
