I'm out of the business now, but I could never get my hands on much in my bar, unless I bought a lot of Sazerac Group's unsellable Rain Vodka. It was an up front 'quid pro quo'. Just a few years ago the 20 was around $100 (wholesale) & rarely available. The 23 was always around & I thought it was a rip at $190. it's good, but it's not that good. It's analogous to the 'Dutch Tulip Mania'. Has Chinese demand stoked this fire ?
