So does this mean you’ll be able to get more of the holy grail whiskeys that are impossible to find and trade with us or pass it on for list price plus a reasonable finders/shipping/handling fees?I got this today to try. Also this is great news as the folks gouging people on over MSRP could have e just met their match. Maybe now I can get a bottle of Pappy. I do believe in the three tier system but it is time for a fair battle.

I am certainly hoping so and will absolutely. I am not a “Bourbon trader” so I would for those that also just want to enjoy and not resell.So does this mean you’ll be able to get more of the holy grail whiskeys that are impossible to find and trade with us or pass it on for list price plus a reasonable finders/shipping/handling fees?
That’s what I’m talking about. My “secondary market” is my gut. If you do the leg work and take the time to ship to someone though you should get something for it. Either a trade for a comparable bottle that a hard for you to get in your area or a premium for your trouble. But not selling us a $50 bottle of Weller 12 for $600 like a local clown liquor store does.I am certainly hoping so and will absolutely.

Absolutely love the bell Meade line. Just picked up a bottle of Bell Meade reserve. Also, went to a whiskey tasting at a local spot this weekend and picked up a barrel pick of Reservoir Rye. One of the best Ryes’ I’ve ever tasted. My collection is getting just a touch out of hand but if they continue to make great juice I’m going to continue to buy it. Heaven Hill is by far my favorite distillery. I love their Henry McKenna, Barrel Proof Elijah Craig, and Parker’s Heritage line that is released once a year.Spring has sprung here in KY so we went out exploring today. Stopped by Heaven Hill and a new distillery called Bardstown Distillery. They are only 4 yrs old so no bourbons yet other than a "Fusion" as they call it blending mature bourbon from an unnamed distiller and then their 3 yr old. At $70 a bottle I did not try. However they also partner distill with Kentucky Owl, Belle Meade, Calumet and a few others. I could have bought Kentucky Owl Confiscated for $140 and 10 yr Rye for $200. I thought that was steep so I did not but got these instead.
I didn’t know Bell Meade made a rye. I will be on that as soon as I find a bottle. Sometimes HH is between batches which is understandable. Their annual releases come out around Father’s Day and Christmas. It was good if you to support them! When my wife and I can cut loose from the kids for a few days, I would love to take her on a bourbon trail adventure.@FLjeeper they had that Meade Rye for $60. I wanted to try the lower price of entry first. The guy said they always have it. Sadly at HH they had nothing special out. I like Elijah Craig as they make some good Old Fashioned‘s so I just grabbed a bottle to support them.
So how was it? Been thinking about grabbing a bottle.Todays purchase. We shall see how it is.
