Follow up. If I can't find it on a shelf for MSRP it can go fuck itself. I don't give a damn.

As you know, no tater pricing in Ohio. However, my local is at the Kroger and the vultures line up every Friday morning to see what came in on the truck. To many good bourbons to be found on the shelves to wait in a stupid line with the idiots. Very easy pass for me.

Yup!   The hobby suffers mightily, especially when compared to 12 or 15 years ago.   It's just not that much fun any longer.   

Don't get me wrong.   Meeting like-minded folx and sharing nice drams is still all the jollies it ever was.   The "pursuit", however, leaves me cold.   

I no longer have enough of whatever it takes to continue the chase as I did (at lest somewhat) in the bygone days.   Do I miss that chase?   Maybe a little; but, not enough to matter.

Wish they'd released this at 101 proof. 

...

 

Sorry, didn't you hear?  After this ER12 at 95 proof is released here are the future plans from BT:

ER13 at 96 proof

ER14 at 97

ER15 at 98

ER16 at 99

 

If you want Eagle Rare at 101 you'll  just have to stick with the old ER17 BTAC.  

 

No soup for you! (and all of us)

It has been released. I will sit it out until the dust settles.

I'm planning to do this too.  However, I will note that regular old ER10 is rare as hens teeth in VA so the dust may not settle here until 2032...lol

Already on secondary for $600. 
 

I'm assuming the more desirable items must run out quickly, then what.  The overwhelming majority of those folks wait all day to be offered the basic run of the mill stuff, Benchmark.    I suppose it's possible the gift shop people could hold some stuff back, and randomly trot it out.  Otherwise, it would only be fair at some point to announce they're all out.  Either way, seems it would royally piss off potential customers.  

No way I'd participate in that nonsense.
