That is a rule for whisky in Scotland (and maybe Ireland?) but not the case for American whiskey.

Thanks for the info and the link.

Rock Hill Farms at $80 and Single Oak Projects at $80-90.  Those were both at stores that generally have reasonable prices.

There is another place around here that has ETL at $150, Baby Saz at $130, Handy at $800, and Gifted Horse at $250.

They listed on wine searcher in NJ and are one of those outlier prices.

Wow! ETL at $150. I'd pass on this too.

^I saw a 2004 SB for $31 the other day...but alas I left it on the shelf.

I passed on Bower Hill Barrel Strength.  $159 plus tax.

I passed on purty near everything yesterday. Trying to save my money for the Sampler. One of the hardest to pass up was a Binny's/Women Of Bourbon PS 10 year SAOS.

Saw 4 or 5 Rock Hill Farms on the shelf for $55.  Was tempted, but still have some in bunker.

Just my humble opinion, but I would pick that one up if I were you.  The 2003 EWSB was an excellent year in general, and whether or not you might have found EWSB for cheaper in the past, I would say that the 2003 is worth $30.  Plus, if you have noticed, the newer EWSB releases are way less than 10 years old (I would think that the 2003 that you saw was closer to 10 years old).  Just my .02 cents.

Saw 3 bottles of Willett 7 year rye on the shelf earlier today, but alas it wasn't meant to be at $99 a bottle.  At home, I have an open bottle of SAOS 7 year rye that I paid quite a bit less for, and it's pretty much the same juice with a slight reduction in proof.
