First time trying Yippee Ki Yay. Glencairn glass, couple drops of water. Very delicious. Definitely picking up another bottle of it.
I am. Lots of traffic these days. This went up last night and blew minds. Guy was asking for 56k and got it.
Ended up getting a local pickup for ask, I believe. Nonetheless, it was obviously a store owner (or a chain of stores) and it sucks for the masses.
The_Baumer I heard about that post but I’m old and not on the gram... believe there’s something in the comments where he lists the contents of the lot? It was a ton of 2019 stuff if I remember correctly, so really does seem as though it was an owner of a large chain selling illegally on the secondary.
This guy bought it I believe. Unbelievably, that deal isn’t out of the norm for him. https://instagram.com/goykh1?igshid=iqpukke8xx08
My funny story of today was in chatting with the owner of a store in rural GA that I frequent often. He showed me a receipt for $7,500 from earlier in the day. $4,000 in Platinum 7X Vodka (believe he said it was 50 cases.) $2,500 split between a handful of BTAC bottles. This customer has a “house” full of bourbons, always donates expensive bottles to charitable events, and just gives away these attached Sazerac spirits to friends that own restaurants.
I guess what I’m trying to say is, if you can get bottles, and you can stomach the price, just get them and drink them and enjoy. Like life, it’s not a fair game. Just enjoy playing it.
With the imminent tariffs on scotch in the coming year, I see more drinkers moving over into the bourbon segment. Maybe I’m wrong, and maybe it does slow down, but I don’t see it happening soon.
