I only paid $50 for it, so even if it's just an adequate bottle, I can at least say that I've tried it.

I'll send a free chip to the first verified person in this thread to buy and sample this:
Being a novice in the whiskey game, I had to look this up. I believe you are correct and MGP is the producer. The first store pick that I enjoyed was a Penelope barrel strength toasted series and looks like that was also a MGP product. I started a little light reading on some of the other stuff that originates from them. Any experience with NULU? Looks like this may also originate with MGP. One of the local stores has been pushing this but I have not tried yet.
My wife mentioned this today and my response was "who in the hell would drink crab flavored whiskey?". Figured this would be some good old boys down on the shore messing around. Looks like a product of New England area. Them folks is all sorts of backwards

NULU does some interesting finishes. I have a toasted rye that's wonderful.
an old coworker had whiskey with a snake floating in it for years from I think thailand.... no one ever was willing to crack it
I have a small bottle of habushu, which is an Okinawan rice liquor to which they add a snake and then age it until it dissolves.
Sometimes habushu is sold with an intact snake still in the bottle. Mine is a small bottle that does not have a snake; it was a gift from a friend who went to Okinawa a few years ago.
Onkly NULU I have had was the sample @Klobberer sent me.
However Old Pepper single barrel rye is one of my favorite rye's and their current stock is from MPG until their own stuff ages enough.

maybe they have a once in a lifetime investment opportunity they need funds for
I once had 5 booker 30ths. Reviews were they were way overoaked. I sold them $500/bottlemaybe they have a once in a lifetime investment opportunity they need funds for
does explain the much lower asking price

Man down! Another quality store pick from my local purveyor. Yes…I bought 2!

I'm a simple man - Jack and Wild Turkey 101 straight up.
WT101 is probably the best value in bourbon.

I can’t drink Jack Black anymore, but I’m a big fan of the dirty bird. I’ll cast my vote for Evan Williams Bottled in Bond as the best value in bourbon with WT101 a close second.
Truth.
This is what I cut my bourbon teeth on, and I still often have a bottle on the bar for poker night and Manhattans.

I had a Total Wine store pick toasted bourbon. It was good on ice but I did not like it neat.
@wolfpack
D — It has a great nose. Super sweet. Standard vanilla and caramel. Fruit that I can’t quite place. Maybe fresh raspberry.
Palate starts sweet but doesn’t really go anywhere. Some young oak. The finish is ok. But that young oak hangs on.
I’ll guess around 100 proof, and pretty young.

It’s pretty good, but clearly young.
Hey, I wasn’t far off from this review!

New arrival! I bought this one blind; I'd never had it or even heard of it.
I noticed after posting this picture that I had another bottle with the cork half out - couldn't stand that and had to fix it immediately.

NAGB...25 participants, $232 for 3 pours of very rare whiskey. I've heard that the rye is one of the best whiskeys ever...
I'll buy it if you don't like it.
There is a zero percent chance he won't like it lolI'll buy it if you don't like it.
