George Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I noticed there was a $100 challenge in 2008. I thought it would be fun to revisit the idea.You are given $100 to spend on bourbon. Assume all recent bottlings are available to you. What would you get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barturtle Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 You guys are gonna be thirsty if you plow your whole years whiskey budget on only three bottles. I think I can score 10 bottles of HH BIB 6yo Green Label for about $100.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronHead Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Close to never here also, along with just finding/getting the 15, but this one particular store even had it listed in print for it's weekly sale. A year ago it had the Lot B on a one week special so the radar was up. I've only seen one other store here, that once had both proofs of the ORVW at a great "sale" price and that's it.There's also the occasional Binny's discount coupon...10% for today....which gives me the $50 challenge of either 2 more Weller 12's or 1 of the new barrel strength FRSB's. Such a spot to be in :grin: .I have heard amazing things about the Binny's Weller 12's. Then again, I've never really seen too many complaints on any 4R release...sounds like a tough spot to be in.
