Love Wiseguys! I only need 95 more unique bourbons to get my name on the plaque. :-) All 5 bourbons I have never tried before. One of them was an Orphan Barrel named Rhetoric. They also had Orphan Barrels Old Blowhard & Barterhouse. More than 200 borbons in stock, but they are not cheap. Already $125ish spent. Very good stuff.

If you are ever in Portland, the Multnomah Whiskey Library is a must. Pricey, but bourbon heaven. I discovered Old Blowhard there.

Got a surprise gift of Blanton's Straight from the Barrel. Looking forward to cracking into this one. I've been doing more acquiring than tasting lately.

Yowsa. I still consider a $40 bottle to be in the upper end of my range, and felt somewhat ridiculous at my recent acquisitions above that line. I'd have to spend a lot more time seriously tasting before $40 a pour seemed like the next step. That is some dedication.
Are you on DEP's mailing list? For various reasons unrelated to my own consumption, I'm a 'gold' member over there and get invited to purchase from some of their limited allocations. Many of these are above my price range, but I'd be happy to share the opportunity if you're not already getting invited to that.
Recent offerings for example included the Willet XCF 750ml for $139.98 and Lost Prophet Orphan Barrel for $124.99. Shoot me a PM if you want me to give you a heads up on future offers."Give a toast to my brother, hug your family, and do everything possible to live the life you dream of. God Bless."
