If you think it's worth $250, yes. 

That's the rub, I've never had $250 bourbon before so I don't know what to compare it to.  The other issue is that I've never seen this on anyone's bourbon bucket list or actually ever heard of this.  I think I'll save the time spent entering the lottery on something else.

If you don't even know what Parkers Heritage is.....then please do not enter. Too much of that going on with VA ABC lotteries these days

So you've never heard of the bourbon in question and want a bottle solely because it's very expensive. Seems odd to me, but it's your money. 

 

I'm pretty sure this is better placed in the have we reached the peak of the boom thread.

I'm scratching my head wondering how you came to this conclusion.

Your winky face afterwards makes me it more convoluted as to whether you are joking about entering or joking about what your time is worth.

Here, here!!  I posted something on here a while back that I was being sarcastic but was taken literally.  I understand its not always clear.  We have bold, we have italics, why can't we have something for sarcasm. We even have ALL CAPS FOR YELLING. I think I will do a </sarcasm, comment, /endsarcasm> from now on!

well it's probably because your second post ever on the site literally admitted you had no idea what this was and you were only interested in what a $250 bourbon tastes like.  The quote was yours but the bold is mine.

 

" That's the rub, I've never had $250 bourbon before so I don't know what to compare it to.  The other issue is that I've never seen this on anyone's bourbon bucket list or actually ever heard of this.  I think I'll save the time spent entering the lottery on something else.   "

 

But at the end of the day none of that matters.  You're entitled to spend your money however you like.  From what I've seen or read the reviews have generally been good to very good.  I don't recall reading too many that were really wowed by this but everyone thinks its a good bourbon.

 

For what it's worth I'm leaning towards entering for this myself.  Good luck to you if you enter.

I actually saw a bottle of this on the shelf at $234.99 a few weeks ago. I had already blown my bourbon budget so I had to pass.
