Bourbon.

Agreed on the 4 roses! Wish I had bought a few more now.

Two of my three. My liquor store said they could get me "as many as I want", and this is one of the best bourbons I've ever had, so I'm stocking up

What Russell's Reserve variety is that? The 1998?

 

[Krish the Fish]

Yeah they're the 1998.

How much is a bottle? I think I saw it my bar going for $200 a dram.

Retail VA $249. Wish I could find some at a bar around me.

Thanks to @newyorkislander and Courtney for getting these bottles out for us!!

It was only $95/bottle here but I missed it

Really like the normal Russell's Reserve too, so more's the pity.

 

[Krish the Fish]

There's no way it was $95 a bottle. OH retail, which is state controlled, was $249.99 tax inclusive. Wholesale could not have been under $200.

Maybe they messed up the price and that's why it sold out so fast. Don't know, but never seen an error in their online list price. This is the county monopoly price.

 

[Krish the Fish]

Holy smokes; you're right, they dun goofed. But from what I hear, they move fast anyways. A lot of good reviews and a sort of "finally a rare release I got here in time to get" makes it a release that people pick up. My liquor store had 3 left the day I bought my two (got the other on a trip to visit @bdeuce22 from his local store) and I can't imagine they lasted more than 24 more hours

 

[JohnGalt]

I didn't know you went to visit bdeuce - which one of you was the big spoon?

 

[Tallcane]

Picked up two bottles of W.L Weller antique 107 today. I am a big fan of the 12 year old year old so I am curious how this will compare.

 

[NewYorkIslander]

Heading up to Julio's today to grab some of their store picks. Love Julio's...the guys there are fantastic. Also agree on the RR1998, great pour.

What time you headed up? You doing a round trip or hanging for a bit?

 

[Master-Classter]

I'm in Manhattan for the next few days if you guys are around and want to meet up. Total late notice since I wasn't planning much. Just in town visiting family but probably have some time Sunday/Monday if you're in the city.

NYIslander I probably won't make it out to Brooklyn hence if you happen to be on the island lemme know.
