Re: $100 Challenge
One bottle of Wild Turkey Tribute. That was a quick and easy way to spend a hundred bucks.

Re: $100 Challenge
I'd spend it on whiskeys (note it didn't say "bourbon") that I haven't yet tried but would like to.
Bernheim Wheat is available at a store about 40mi from here. Unfortunately I can't remember the exact price. It's somewhere between $40 and $50. I'll assume $50.
Been wanting to try baby Saz. OLCC price is $27.95.
This leaves $22.05. The same store with the Bernheim has Forty Creek Three Grain for $21.95. That leaves ten cents.Scott

Re: $100 Challenge
Already done it. See: What Bourbon Did You Purchase Today? Spring 2008
Got four 1 liter bottles of Knob Creek and five 750 ml bottles of Jim Beam Black. A friend of mine, who is now managing a bar, was "clearing out" some older stock that wasn't selling. My good fortune for a change. Won't have to be buying much for a while. Joe" I never met a Weller I didn't like"

Re: $100 Challenge
Rittenhouse BIB (x2) $26.98
Weller Antique 107 $19.49
VWFRR $39.99
After tax that leaves me with $7.49, a little more than enough for a pack of smokes./\../\
