Was in my neighborhood liquor store today, and they offered me a bottle of Pappy 12 for $350. I politely declined*, but just as they were putting it back under the counter, someone rushed up to buy it. A fool and his money ...
* I remember going to Liquor Barn in Lexington, KY, and picking up bottles of Pappy 20 for ~$95. Those were the days!

I did a Bourbon flight in New Orleans last night and my surprise favourite was Rebel Yell which was their house bourbon. Remarkably smooth stuff.

If you don't mind me asking, roughly where and how much? I brought one back from LAS recently but haven't opened it yet (I did open their 2 year, and found it quite nice). Mine ran ~$90 IIRC; I was excited to find it, and to find Masterson's 10-year rye for $50 (it's $122 in VA).
I recently picked up an extra bottle, given the VA ABC got another batch in. For $29 or so, it's a great rye. Better than Rittenhouse (if just a bit) and definitely good either to sip or to mix.

Bourbon county beers coming out Friday. Who likes them? I'm not a huge beer drinker but always grab a couple.

So the children convince me that they want to go to a local burger shack in the middle of the Surrey countryside tonight. OK, fine by me. Imagine my surprise when I see that they're selling Eagle Rare 10 yo at £3.95 a 50ml pour. An excellent deal and a nice way to end dinner.

was wondering what happened with the PA release lottery for BTAC as they were supposed to announce the winners this week. ended up on a reddit thread and saw that people received notifications a few days ago...
went into my email and did a search for good measure - found that I'll be receiving a bottle of WLW.
