[ChainWhip]

3x High West 21 YR Rocky Mountain Rye ($130)

750ml bottles I take it?

[SFS]

Yes, and for the Son of Bourye as well.

Did it come in handles or something?

[ChainWhip]

Haven't seen many 750's of the 21, mostly 375's.

(Based on price, should've guessed it was a fifth though)

[bourbonandbacon]

no, but pretty sure high west releases a decent amount of 375ml bottles of certain products

Passed up on a BTAC Thomas H Handy tonight. It is the last bottle of BTAC they have left, as I bought the other two (WLW & GTS). I'm on the fence about it. My thinking is if I am spending that kind of $ I want it to have more age on it. It's lasted this long on the shelf, I could always go back for it I suppose.

Passed on 3 Ritt 25's, at 2 1/4, too rich for my blood.

[compliance]

Passed on the Van Winkle 23yo decanter set for $9500.00. Oh craigslist

I don't know if this really counts but I noticed that Dickel prices seemed higher than I remember, at least at one store I frequent. Shelf prices of $26.99 for #12, $24.99 for #8, and the rye was $21.99, although they're having a three-day sale through tomorrow. What got my attention initially was the #8, which I can't recall seeing here locally before. The second thing that struck me was that even with a sale price of $21.99 on the #8, it's more than I paid for the #12 elsewhere a few months ago. I may need to shop around.
