Once you hit five figure street prices on non-essential items, its likely. Don't know about kickbacks, but being a good customer hasn't helped me. I have a stack of receipts about two inches thick from one store over the years. I've been to two lotteries there and have zero bottles to show for it.

Apparently the person who bought it for $10K ended up getting a PVW 15 year with it. I don't know if he had to pay for that separately, or if it was thrown in on the deal, but he made some kind of request or demand and got both bottles. He claimed to be purchasing the ORVW25 for his retirement, and is apparently quite wealthy. What's interesting about this whole thing is that this used to be a store who sold things @ very close to normal retail prices. In the past few months, a new spirits manager has taken over and the prices have started creeping upward with each new shipment. Almost everything whiskey now is $5.00-$25.00 higher than most other stores in town. The new direction of the store seems to be more about making money....which I suppose is the number one goal of a business. They also used to have a wonderful whiskey tasting bar with probably over 100 bottles you could try by the pour. Recently they eliminated almost all the whiskey and turned it into a wine flight bar, shortly after the owner returned from a vacation to CA - hmmm...... Still a good store, but things are definitely changing. The fact that they HAD a PVW15 to sell or give him also leads me to have some misgivings about this store. I've noticed the pricing creeping up as well and also saw the bar changes. You could get some very good pours for very good prices. I think I paid $12 for a healthy 1.5oz+ pour of THH. They hold back almost everything even remotely limited to be sold thru their release parties that they make you buy a ticket to. I guess this needs to go in the "boom is not over" thread.

Normal situation I agree with the 6-8 range, but being for this cause I would say 10-12k if they can reach a lot of people with their marketing campaign. Keep us posted.

Bourbinvestor Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 https://wbliquors.com/wb-liquors-steps-12750-donation/ The ORVW 25 went for $12,750. If you're keeping track of bottles that expensive you might consider that a good deal. Someone told me they haven't seen it anywhere for less than $14k.

Charlutz Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 I've yet to buy a bottle on the secondary market but every bottle I've seen on there has sold for $10k. Probably about a half dozen bottles since it was released. This was a charity auction? Different motives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvd99 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Ha ha, this stuff was featured on CNBC’s “Secret Lives of the Super Rich.” Hilariously, they called it “Pappy” Old Rip Van Winkle most likely because not many people would recognize the name sans Pappiez. Not surprisingly, some guy from Westin Hotels in NYC Said it was the best bourbon on the planet and was charging $315 per ounce. At the end, he actually called it Pappiez!! I almost lost it! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially after BT went on the warpath when Diageo used "Geo. T. Stagg distillery" in the marketing of Lost Prophet. Shoe is on the other foot now and so it's referred to as the "Van Winkle Family distillery in Shively" rather than Stitzel-Weller. Boom! That's why Distillers respect one another, but the Marketing teams despise one another...love it! BTW, this bottle tastes like horse piss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
