As Brett says..... you can find it on Craigs List for $1,000.....
Out of curiosity, I spoke to the owner of our small local liquor store yesterday, and he will be holding a bottle for me as soon as he can get one, with no price gouging. No guarantee when, however. The price will be as Mikey noted, though.

I just don't know if I could stand to open the bottle...... costs too much, I'm a poor retired guy now! .... and knowing that I could sell it for $800-$1000 without too much trouble.

Did you bring that bottle of bourbon to DFR 2016. Damn it I missed it. Hopefully you can bring the rest of the bottle in April 2017.

Hey, BD, look at the posting dates. Still haven't bought it. You'll be invited when I do get it.

You'll probably have to wait till November/December to find a bottle. 2017's batch won't be released till then.

Might be better to move this to the bourbon tasting for next years event. Not in DFR 2016 lol. I'll gladly buy a shot or two of the really good stuff.
