Decided just to ask how much a pour was because that is a unicorn bourbon for me big time. Turned out it was $21 (vs. glass of red wine was about $16-18 so very reasonable) and they gave me a very healthy pour (not a 1oz thimble you get for unicorn bourbons at a lot of places).
Holy cow what a fantastic bourbon. If I ever get selected in the NC ABC lottery (unlikely but you never know), that is going to be at the very top of my list of selections
That's an amazing find at a shockingly low price. Selling WLW at $21 per shot opens that restaurant up to the risk of violating its liquor license as patrons order 3-5 shots to go. I know I would!
