When they sold the unaged whiskey last year, it sold out in a couple hours. Would expect this will do the same. I’ve been to the GW/Mt Vernon distillery. Compared to Makers Mark and Heaven Hill (two bourbon distilleries I’ve toured as well) it is definitely “period” and makes a very nice contrast to how wiskey was made then vs now
“When they sold the unaged whiskey last year, it sold out in a couple hours.”
I got a bottle of that.
I brought it as a Christmas present for my husband. It is a small, pretty unattractive little bottle, hazy whiskey with some bits floating. I was a little dismayed at how unimpressive it looked, so I made a presentation box for it - jazzed it up real nice.
That was the second year it was sold, and was around $100. unaged.
I got on a special list, and received a special opportunity to buy this first sale of the two year aged whiskey - I don’t get a beak on the price, but if I take my special notice down with me, I get preference over someone without one. So, unless there are more people with “special notices” than there are bottles for sale, I get me a bottle. If I go. At $185. for the thing I am really on the fence. It is from the first production, and being aged two years - is the first offering of aged whiskey, so for that reason I do want to buy it.
What to do, what to do?
