good luck with that lol
It is being released soon, though. You'll be lucky to get any though. Some places will have a lottery, or if you have a good relationship with any retailers, give them a call.
You'll never get Pappy, it's pretty much impossible.Pappy Van Winkle
Buy several bottles for that amount: Blanton’s; Four Roses Single Barrel; Angel’s Envy; Michter’s.Buying a bottle of bourbon for a client. I don’t drink bourbon. Would like to get him something noteworthy. Something between $200-$300 would be fine.
Figured the all knowing board would be a good resource.
That's what I said. But you have to win the raffle/lotteryVA ABC stores have a lottery when rare releases are available and you get them at regular retail price.
Four Roses Single Barrel is good...I just added that to my collection recently. Also added Bib & Tucker but haven't tried it yet.Buy several bottles for that amount: Blanton’s; Four Roses Single Barrel; Angel’s Envy; Michter’s.

You don't need to spend that much to get a really good bottle of bourbon. Blanton's is really good as is Angel's Envy. Another good one is Bookers.
Then you've been lucky. I live in KY and know people who've lived here their whole lives and never got a bottle. One guy has even worked in a liquor store. I could always get some at a restaurant but don't really want to spend $100 a shot.It's not that bad to get, I've won quite a few times in the past.
I go to a charity auction every year and they auction off a bottle...cheapest it ever went for was $2,700 and this year it went for $3,700.It's not that bad to get, I've won quite a few times in the past.
You could get him an engraved bottle from Woodford Reserve....really good gift. You can get pretty much anything engraved on the bottle.Sounds like my best bet is to get him a few bottles, thanks.
Weller's 12....it's the same recipe and the same distillery, but not aged as long. It's inexpensive but also very tough to get. I got one bottle but finished it a couple months ago.There’s a lesser version of Pappy. Can’t thinkbof the name right now though. That’s received high marks from some friends that are bourbon connoisseurs.
Black Maple Hill is ok and it is a blend. Barrell Strength Elijah Craig is good. Elmer T. Lee is another good bourbon.You can get a nice bottle of Elijah craig 18 for about $80. Also, Black maple hill 16 year runs about $125.
Jeffersons Presidential 21 year select is also a good one...runs about $150.
I'd like to try s bottle ofThis. If you can find a bottle. But I think you could spend $100-$150 and do just as well. Black Maple Hill 16 year old small batch ($150) OT Jefferson’s Ocean: Aged at Sea ($90) are both fantastic.

That's funny, good luck finding a bottle, and resale is 500 for the cheapest and usually 1000 for the 10 yrs and maybe over 2k for the 20k. I have had the 10 and 20. 10 tasted much better, 20 was too oaky, okie dokey.Pappy Van Winkle

Bourbon is on a huge upswing which is a problem because they didn't plan for this years ago when they stocked the barrels, so there is a shortage of many types of bourbon. Now the distillers are stocking an adequate supply so in the future the prices will come down. And small batch bourbons are definitely very popular now.This thread has me realizing that I don't know squat about Bourbon, which is OK given that I am not a regular bourbon drinker. "Pappy Van Winkle" and "Elmer T. Lee" bourbon? Do they have an Elmer T. Fudd bourbon as well? Is the upper end bourbon market populated by a bunch of tiny distilleries that produce an exceedingly small quantity of product?
If the OP wants to go up to ~$500, the 10 year Old Rip Van Winkle is available under $500That's funny, good luck finding a bottle, and resale is 500 for the cheapest and usually 1000 for the 10 yrs and maybe over 2k for the 20k.

Jefferson's Ocean is about the best I have tasted for under $100
Buffalo Trace and Blantons come from the same distallary. I went there for a tasting a year ago. Great trip and very good bourbon. Buffalo Trace is great for mixing in old fashions or manhattans. Blantons is better served neat or with one ice cube. It's smoother. Their bottle tops with the horses and ball shaped bottles become collectors items.Buffalo Trace
I'd like to try s bottle of
Black Maple Hill-16, I believe it's difficult to find. I found Black Maple Premium small batch, but that seems to be 2-4 grand a bottle.

Those are both very good bourbons. Just got introduced to the Bib & Tucker recently as well.Four Roses Single Barrel is good...I just added that to my collection recently. Also added Bib & Tucker but haven't tried it yet.
My two cents is that you’re better off finding a couple of bottles for half that price (or less). If you live away from Kentucky/southern Indiana try to get your hands on an OKI 10 year. It is $45 and delicious, but only sold in Kentucky and around Cincy and southern IN. Nice find that not entirely easy to get your hands on if you don’t live there.Buying a bottle of bourbon for a client. I don’t drink bourbon. Would like to get him something noteworthy.
