I'm of the firm opinion that no booze is worth $600+/bottle.
There are SO MANY good whiskeys out there for $50 or less, I can't fathom the point other than as a "collection" at which point it becomes not about the contents of the bottle at all, really. The achievement is what matters.
I sincerely hope Hawkeye got his bottle at MSRP, since he mentioned a raffle/lottery.
We got our bottle of Old Rip Van Winkle at MSRP - $80. It is in no way worth the $350-400 it gets on the secondary market. In fact, I wouldn't pay $80 for it again. I'd rather have Old Weller Antique for less, or most of the Booker's releases at the same $80 price point.
I think MSRP for the BTAC bottles are all sub-$150. Some states (like MI) have state minimum pricing. That 18yr Sazerac of Hawkeye's is $89.28 state min here, so is the BTAC Stagg, not sure about the others... |
MSRP on all BTAC is $99.
Broke the handy (and a few other gems) out for some friends last night.
The Ardbeg Dark Cove is easily one of my favorites, will be sad when that is gone.
