    I paid $129 so that was retail. I cracked it last night and tasted the 11 and 12, both very enjoyable. Need to let the 12 air a bit now.

    Either I don't track them as such on social or they tend to sell out fast.

    I picked up a bottle of Elijah Craig small batch for $20. Is that good or average price. Wanted something inexpensive to drink.

    If I needed a bottle of Blanton's how would you advise I find one? I realize I will be paying over retail, a friend is dogsitting for us and won't take money but really wants a bottle.

    Good deal, usually $29 here. It’s a good drinker too. Can use it in a cocktail or sip it neat.

    Saw a couple of wildly overpriced bottles yesterday at a place by my house. I can check to see if they are still there.

    Don't worry about that. Was hoping I could find one of the facebook marketplaces. The ones I am in all seem to be dead. This bottle should cost in the 120-150 range based on my quick research.

    1792 full proof is such a good value at $45... drinks a little hotter than other barrel proofs, but it’s such a good sweet/rye/oak balance.

    Blantons? I got one for 60$ yesterday and just happened to come across it randomly. I’ve seen it for 90-100 on drizzly at times.

    Got my Starlight Pick Doughboy today. Came for the label, and stayed for the juice. Exceeded my expectations.

    I'd most definitely buy Shenk's and Bombergers at those prices and ask for better pricing since I'm taking both. But then again I'm filthy rich.

    edit - I know nothing about Michters other than I see that bottle on the secondary for like double that...

    They deliver from stores in your area - unfortunately it’s a bit of a gamble how well their Network is in a particular city.

    there are some sites that started off for scotch (flaviar / caskers) but their selections aren’t the best and they charge a hefty markup plus exorbitant shipping costs.
