I wondered what kind of people are currently buying BL. It explains a lot.

Imagine being told what you can and can't drink. Calm down drill sergeant

Nobody said you couldn't drink it. We just didn't figure you for being in the Navy

While the launch [$1,500 per bottle for the Macklowe Private Collection] was met with some skepticism, 400 restaurants and bars now serve The Macklowe, including fine-dining joints such as Eleven Madison Park, celebrity hot spots like Zero Bond, and, of course, high-society institutions like Le Bilboquet. You can order a 2-ounce pour at The Carlyle in New York for $325, or 1 ounces at Nick & Sam's in Dallas for $450. The Macklowe is in Aspen, Colorado; Las Vegas, and parts of Texas but never, Macklowe said, in a city without a Herms or a Louis Vuitton store. In May, the Private Collection won a double-gold medal at the prestigious San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

Next month, Macklowe will introduce the Macklowe Kentucky Edition to the world. The gold-rimmed bottle will sell for $250 a sixth of the price of the Private Collection, but still a splurge.

After all, as Macklowe told Insider, her ideal customer owns a Lamborghini or a Rolex or both. "And I think it's really important that we stay true to our customer," she said.

Not saying I don't like Basil Hayden, just that it's not the prestige of Michelin dining.

Basil Hayden serves two purposes imo. 1 - something to recommend beginners who have never had whisky before. 2 - something to drink at a work party where you can drink all night and dont want to get drunk.

It is the Toyota Corolla of Bourbon.
