@beasled and I are both from Europe, we are often talking together, we're also sharing tips, he knows that i'm trading bottles with US folks. Another thing is, the BTAC didn't land in Europe yet. 

 

Will.

Not a purchase, but got the hookup from family at Thanksgiving for taking them to Norte Dame last weekend. They have no clue how cool of a gift this was.

Would love to hear the story of how they obtained those. In my head, you are the bourbon guy.. not them.. but theysomehow managed to get those great bottles just because they knew you like good bourbon? Meanwhile many of us never see one much less two of those for sale. Not sour grapes, just like the backstories.

My family in Chicago are huge wine drinkers. Guessing they had a hook up because of the money they spend on wine.  I didn't ask a lot of questions, but pretty confident they didn't pay much over MSRP for the stuff. The reason I think that is they could of bought one with what they described as the "red label" for $200..... And Fasterhorses you can include me in the group that doesn't see one much less two for sale unless seeing it for $600 counts.

Nice score.  I have yet to see any BTAC in my area.  I just heard they have landed.

Passed on an OWA for $30. I already have one open, and I never purchase backups.

 

But bought this for $25. They tricked me with a lottery entry.

Not a purchase, but a pretty swell birthday gift from my awesome kids.

Haha, when I first glanced at the photo, I thought how odd to have a Toy Story label on a bottle of whiskey.  It is a pretty cool gift!

I know, I know :)

 

Here's my reasoning: Even with no backups in 6-7 years, and 10-15 bottles open at any given time, there are tons of bottles waiting in my stash to be enjoyed. Most of these I have never tasted, ever! (see OF1920, FRSB BP private picks, Foursquare Rums, more Scotch than I can count...). I want to get to them at some point, so no repeat purchases for me to delay that process. Meanwhile, I enjoy my faves at bars instead.

 

I think my one and only repeat purchase was the HW Midwinter's. Also LEs from different years don't count, I see'em I grab'em.

Does anyone know of a typical retail price for RY10?

 

Cheers!

Bout $75 now, up from $50 last year.

At that rate maybe $125 in 2018?
