Had a bbq yesterday for my 45th. These were all gift bottles and a couple bottles I traded with @BruceWayne for. Needless to say I’m moving pretty slowly today.

It's just octomore nerd stuff, right? Like there are 12,000 bottles of .1, .2, and .3 every year. There are 3,000 bottles of .4/whatever special they call it that year. It is 'distillery only'. No one who isn't into that profile is just going to question how you can consume this stuff and still be human. I can't even drink it in the same room as my wife cause she will complain about the smell.
But for those who truly love it, there is nothing that hits those same things. ~$200 a bottle for each of them, I'd pay it gladly. I can only reliably get them from the distillery itself so no middle man, okay. $100 to have them shipped from Scotland to my front door, alright, I can deal. But ffs put them all out at the same time and let me at least combine the shipping.
I'll gladly send you or anyone samples of unpeated stuff. I've got more whiskey than a person could drink in a lifetime at this point.

That’s supposedly Belle Meade Reserve at a slightly different proof. If you’re familiar with BMR, how does it compare?
Relevant pictures from SQM this weekend. I think the Smoke Wagon UCUF was a hit; there were only 11 of us, and several were not whiskey drinkers.
Sorry, I don't think I've had the BMR. This is pretty smooth, I get lots of vanilla and berries on the palate, gives a nice warm hug. Oak comes on and it dries out nicely with just a bit of pepper on the finish.

Then small amount of whiskey left behind photographs like alien planets. Super cool

Is this an auction? $300/person for a charity might be right. You aren't getting a good deal for something like this.

If it’s an auction, you may be able to steal it, good luck! Also, those are not the premium bottles of those brands.
This! Not even actual Pappy, and Weller SR is a $25 bottle. I will say though, I had a taste of Old Rip a couple of weeks ago, and it's very good. I assume VW12 is even better. If the food and service is good and you have 9 friends you really like, or who will pay their share, it could be a fun night. If you can snatch it for about $1500. Are you each getting one poor from the bottles, or the entire bottle?
I would hope the winner gets the bottles, which happened to be shared among 10. Plus food.

Sadly, this probably happens in most states that have government run ABC systems without people getting caught. I’d be willing to bet that it happens in my state too

Indiana is not state run so it is totally happening here mostly legally.Sadly, this probably happens in most states that have government run ABC systems without people getting caught. I’d be willing to bet that it happens in my state too
"After taking office last month, Kotek, a Democrat who was a long-serving Oregon House speaker, asked for Marks’ resignation, but no reason was announced. Kotek said she learned of this business about the bourbon afterward."
This looks to me like it's more about politics than about removing them for any major abuse of power. She wanted to get rid of him from the start, but didn't have a reason. So she went looking for some dirt. When it comes to all the real abuses of power in our state and federal governments, this is a teeny tiny one. He used his influence to get some rare whiskey, that he paid for himself, and he and his staff members drank it themselves. It would be totally different if he were taking delivery of cases of it and reselling it for huge profits. Pretty much anyone who has the opportunity to buy a bottle of Pappy 23 probably used some type of influence to get that chance. This is a nothing burger in my opinion.
