This just went up for a lottery pick on the PA Wine and Spirits site, MSRP of $2k.

Looks pretty cool but a tad gaudy with the packaging and way too pricy for my blood.

 

 

Not sure what the over the top packaging costs but probably not $1800 for this bottle that is (for me) about a $200 at best whiskey.

At least the advertising department improved upon their working title for this release...

 

"66 Times Price, Very Dubious."

As I read this, I'm sipping on an other 90 proofer - AAA.  Maybe a SBS will convince me the $2,000 MSRP on the DEVR20 is worth it.

 

Or not.

All I know is, I can’t wait to hear where you park this one once you get it home, Harry!  

Behind dining room door?  Trash can?  Car trunk?  Basement?  :D

It will be wherever the spiders are so his wife won't look there so I'm guessing that particularly dark and cobweby part of the basement is the spot.

Mrs. Harry in WashDC is NOT afraid of any spiders and knows where Harry stashes all of his stuff anyways.  He just thinks she doesn't know (heh, heh).  ?

Uh -- I think the labels are hand-made.  Just send me your $1000 money order (NO PERSONAL CHECKS!!), and I'll send you one.  Now, was that a " Triple Double Rare Very, Very, Very Rare Eagle Rare" or was it a "Double Triple, Extra Very Bonded Rare Eagle"?  I have both, you know.:ph34r:

 

MODS - I AM KIDDING!!  And, this offer is for the LABEL ONLY!

Curiosity has me wondering how many of these bottles will be opened...….. I don't mind paying a little more for something special, but this cant be that, "special"...….  and I know me, I would open it, and taste it, and smell it, and play with it, and snuggle it, and..... I think I just went to far...…. :huh:

NO bottle of liquor is worth $2K IMHO much less almost $20K.  I know of one bottle of PVW25 that's open, sitting behind the bar at Sage in the Aria where you can add it to a $300ish Pappy flight (1/2 oz pour) for $500 and it's going to take a hell of a night at the blackjack table to even think about going down that road.  This stuff is destined for that "fate" as well.  Being the BT fan that I am, I'd LOVE to find out how it tastes but I seriously doubt I'll ever find out.

Take ER 17 and age it 3 more years.  Wow, who would have known it gets so much more expensive.

Oh so true.  I told my wife that I intended to open the bottle of GTS that she got me as a gift and the look on her face was priceless.

Um, how come nobody told me about this new rule.  Darn.  Left out again!!  And I just picked up my first bottle of OF Rye today.  Now I'll never know how it tastes.

 

 

AS IF!
