Send a thank you to your client. Bourbon is to be enjoyed...best with the friends you share it with. I would go as far to say it is all about the friends you share it with and not about the bourbon at all.
Congrats on the bourbon.

My only question, having never been close to a $4000 bottle of bourbon, is it worth the hype?
Do you go to meetings?msechelski said:
Drank it by myself over the course of two evenings. I didn't mix it with anything, so I guess I can be glad about that.

I can get 08 15 year for closer to $2000msechelski said:
I agree with this statement. Apparently, you can get your hands on for less than $200. I guess it's just hard to get ahold of, unless it's secondary market. After a little googling, I was able to find one that was bottled in 2008, and the asking price was $4000.

Since you weren't clear...2 full racks of beef ribs and you might have a deal. Let me check with my wife Lucy

I had the opportunity to buy a 2020 Double Eagle Rare at retail which I jumped on. I bought the bottle with the full intention of selling on the secondary at a later date but the longer I have the bottle the more I want to drink it. Then I remind myself what all I could do with the money and that I'm just fine drinking $40-50 bottles.
Agree to disagree. 20-year to me is best tastingFurlock Bones said:
15 Year is the best tasting Pappy. They are not worth what secondary is charging. I've tasted a couple of William Larue Wellers and they have been better tasting to my palate than the Pappys.

None are worth multiple thousands of dollars

I think 23 is the best. They are absolutely worth 2k if its a business deal. No Bourbon should cost more than 200. Period. But they do, and stuff like Dry State, Pappy 23, and Bookers 25th will continue to gain value into the absurd.

I doubt the whiskey "bubble" pops any time soon, but it doesn't seem super dissimilar from the 90s cigar trend.
I also don't think there is a ton of overlap btwn whiskey drinkers and marijuana users, but mass legalizations down the road could potentially push mj into the trendy spot whiskey now has.
What are you talking about? Allocated bourbons are absolutely in the same "this is outrageous" price category as the higher-end wines.Ducks4brkfast said:expresswrittenconsent said:

Man if you think whiskey is expensive, you should take a stroll down the wine aisle at your local liquor store.
You'd probably be shocked at what a bottle of wine containing 4 to 5 pours costs!
Wines are much worse when you consider how many servings a bottle of wine is compared to a bottle of bourbon.AggieBarstool said:What are you talking about?
