Re: Expensive Bourbon
it's about the collectability, not swillin.
how much would Oban's Barrel #0001 be worth to you, just to put in the man cave and pull the cork and sniff once and a while?
the first jug af pappy, signed and sealed by pappy hisself?

(not all of course) get a sports figure to back the promo, it goes viral... i'm betting your first barrel would reach a premium right here on HD, just cause we could say we knew him when...

Re: Expensive Bourbon

Also has drummed up lots of publicity.
Good marketing is needed when your trying to make money right out of the gate.

Re: Expensive Bourbon
Remember, I posted a bottle I saw at Lavina's this last September that was for sale for over $31,000. Here is a link to the thread if interested.

I missed the bit about charity. Yes that changes the game completely.
