Never even seen one before. I was not overly impressed with Special Reserve.
That’s 499.99’by me. :-(
Yup. I just saw one in ga and they asked $400.

Same opinion here on the S.R. If I saw it on the shelf, even at msrp, I would leave it there.

I've had just the regular one. How is it?
It’s very good. A good balance of sweet and oak. Like peaches and cinnamon, then oak and a medium finish of pepper and rye spice. It’s very viscous and coats the mouth.

The Little Book 5 is pretty dang good. It would be fun to compare notes to somebody else who has some.

Yeah, I only have this year's release.

Found a place with EVERYTHING, in Santa Barbara. The place was ram-jammed with amazing bottles. With crazy prices to match. Just a couple pics of <0.25% of their stock.
But I did find one excellent value, at a very reasonable markup from MSRP.

I have that 15 year next to them. How much is it there

That top right looks like it might be Chapter 1? Maybe?
While the profiles are similar, the Jack is definitely charcoal mellowed. It drinks much lower than it’s proof. Hints of banana and a bunch of burnt caramel. The OF brings the heat. Oak, bananas, dark cherry and leather.
I love them both but Jack wins this duel.

Wasn't listed on the counter, but when I've asked before when they've had it, it's msrp/retail. $199 or $249 or whatever it is for that bottle.
I think I've said it before, but I'm glad I've got the Blue Spot in my collection, but it is by no means my preferred Spot.It was great meeting @Big Jilm on Saturday. Thanks for the beer! My wife always gets a kick out of meeting my internet friends. Hahahaha
So, yeah… I sent 7 bottles Jim’s way and took home 18 bottles from him.I can’t resist Oregon prices. I appreciate @Big Jilm so much for finding and storing these bottles for me. This meetup was months in the making. And so worth it!
I don’t know what I’m most excited to try.

Welcome, and if you follow this thread prepare to be inundated with bourbons!
I've always found that in all things subjective like movies, books, food, whiskey that the best result from reviewers comes by finding 4-5 things you like/dislike and searching for a reviewer who feels the same way about those things. If you hate something and they hate something and you like something else and so do they, then when they recommend something or say you can skip something you can normally trust their judgement. YMMV
lol, some of the stuff they are locking up is $50 MSRP!

Around me, $300 Kentucky Owl can be on the shelf but the Hennessy and Don Julio reposado is behind the counter.

Yeah…with $299 price tags.
I find it almost laughable how stores all charge different prices for the same product. By different, I mean exponentially more.
Angels Envy Rye for example. I got it for $75/bottle. Most places it’s $92-$98.
The store next to my house has it for $399.99. I don’t get it. I haven’t said anything, as I don’t want to offend. I assume they believe some sucker will buy it, but every other store within 5 miles (and there are about 8) has it for less than $100.
I see that almost every store around me has 1 bottle in the price gouging range with every other store having it at the normal price.
YMMV
