Now, if you'd simply like to try it there are a ton of options for you. Stop by one of the dozens of great cocktail bars in the city. Death & Company, Employees Only, PDT, Dead Rabbit, and Attaboy just to name a few. It's hard to say what you will pay at each location for a pour, though.
I'd be curious. I believe it's $40 or $45 at the one and only bourbon bar in my town. The local liquor store caved to competitive pressure and closed. Last year they had 2 bottles, held a bourbon tasting with about 50 brands and had a drawing for both. Sadly, my number was not called.
