Not going to cap it since it will all go to Texas Children's Hospital.

My wife got me one of those little 3L barrels (I think it's 3L) for my birthday...and before venturing off into my own concoctions, I wanted to start with something simple for the holidays...does anyone have a good "cheaper" bourbon that you would recommend using to age/make a Manhattan?? I'll look up how many parts of each online, but based on experience from any of you that have done this before, is there a certain mix (how much bitters/vermouth/etc.) that you would recommend using and how long would be good time to age it...is Christmas time too early to enjoy it??
Thanks for any responses!

yep, saw $560 and 575 yesterday. If you bought it at $500 and held it for a few years, I bet you get $750 at least due to it never being made again and the epic reviews.RenoAg said:
Would you believe you could get pretty close to $600 for Bookers Rye on the Secondary Market now?
And here I was thinking that the guy near me was crazy to think he could get $450 for the on on his shelf. (it was sold the next time I went in) I passed but was lucky enough to grab one more at retail a couple weeks ago. Anyone know when BTAC / Pappy will hit Houston? Has to be soon...FriedTex said:
I don't know if any of you degenerates are willing to pay 500 for Bookers Rye but there is one out in the wild in Kingwood

I was just in a local shop and happened to ask about Blanton so the guy set me up. But he was also being really weird, and asked me if I was looking for anything else. I mentioned that I knew the allotment stuff was coming and mentioned the pappy lines, but I couldn't get anything out of the guy about what else he had in the back. He was looking for me to name a bottle by name.
So what other stuff should I have asked about that I was too simple to know about?
It has hit DFW. I got a THH for MSRP yesterday. Wish it was a Weller, Stagg, or ER17 though.malibuVLX said:And here I was thinking that the guy near me was crazy to think he could get $450 for the on on his shelf.
