Hirsch special reserve $1299 at local

[RWBadley]

Anybody seen this yet?

Initially I thought it was the same old gold foil bottle 16yo, but this appears to be a newer blown glass bottle and updated label- along with a fancy box..

$1299, are you sh*%tin' me? Plain crazy...

It was 1400 when I saw it last in CA. Must be a real nice box

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you're talking about this one.

That Noble Sin; whilst Luxury.

Employ'd a Million of the Poor,

And odious Pride a Million more

Envy it self, and Vanity

Were Ministers of Industry;

Their darling Folly, Fickleness

In Diet, Furniture, and Dress,

That strange, ridic'lous Vice, was made

The very Wheel, that turn'd the Trade.

That said, thirteen hundred bux is "plain crazy".

Yes, that would be it.

I loved the thread drift patter on the dead horse subject... heheh. A local store has one of these horses priced at only $1299.

If you want this bad boy let me know via pm and I'll set you up. You'll need to cough up a taste of something good in return- not for the tip on the bottle- but hush money so I don't let word out on your buying this bottle instead of any number of better stuff under $100- or even under $75 for that matter

Cripes, I wish I had kept more of my Blue and Red wax Hirsch. It tasted mighty fine when I knew it cost me $55/bottle. Just think how good it would taste knowing I saved $1244/ bottle over the current price. (even more if the $100 for tax is factored in) sheesh

Cheers,
