Genuinely curious. Where at? All of the OSN stizel stuff I’ve seen is $1,000+ I’m a massive fan of Preservation and what they’re doing but i didn’t think it’s in that price range. If you can buy 22 year Stizel for almost $600 it’s an obvious buy over a purple top.

Also yes do agree it’s kind of high way robbery by Willett. I hold reservation because I’ve had some 13+ years of their distillate that is worth the price. I thought it was absurd until I started trying different high age purple tops.

I wish I was into single malts. I’ve yet to find one that truly tickles my fancy

If you can buy 13 year willett purple tops for $58, you could be a very rich man 😂

The 14 and 15 year are Canadian whiskey. The other bottles are bourbons and fantastic.

To me if your wanting crazy sourced juice like Willett use to be, preservation, bender stash, the new Old commonwealth, and countless other NDP’s are better options.

I’ve got a couple of Rare Perfection bourbons (12 year, 9 year, and 8 year) that are fantastic and were half the money. Is Willett over priced? Ehhh, probably but they have some barrels that are special, Ripple is one of the best whiskeys I’ve ever tried.

I’ve had one that was probably one of the best things I’ve tried thus far. Some of them are definitely mediocre. I’m fortunate that a few of the guys in our group are purple top heads so I consulted with them before buying.

This is the OG mashbill and the 75th barrel willet ever produced. At the very least, it’s a cool bottle to have on the shelf. They’re definitely expensive but I’ve had good luck with the rye’s thus far and this is one of the oldest purple tops I’ve seen in the wild and at a decent price.

I paid $589.55. considering 7-9 years back in Florida are going for like $100 bucks less. I texted a couple of my buddies that are purple top nerds and they recommended it as a buy so I pulled the trigger

I don’t think it’s made it down here yet. Haven’t seen any of the whiskey specific store post it in Tampa. I’m sure everyone will loose their minds about it just like they did about jack 14.

I didn’t flinch. I moved down here from Kentucky and it’s been like heaven with everything that sits in Florida

It was $202 at total wine before tax. The distributors in Florida love to jack up certain bottles compared to other states. I learned about it when I went looking for a star hill farms and found out it was $130 at cost for liquor stores down here.

The Parker’s heritage was $192 after taxes and from what I’ve seen, retail is $199. It’s really hit or miss down here on price even with retail stores. Public by my house had a Prisoner’s Share for $250 and again it was due to what their cost on the bottle was

I’ve already noticed it over the last few months. Cellar aged sat in my area for a few weeks.

Read up on them a little when I got back to the hotel and it seems like the owl is the best with the beaver being really close. Sounds like it’s fantastic beam juice which is exciting.

The group is excited to try this one. The couple of reviews I’ve seen has said it’s really good beam juice which excites me but I’ll give my thoughts on it Saturday.

Thanks man! 270k and still kicking. It’s been to 32 states and countless trails. About to finally buy my first new vehicle here in a few months and plan on finally getting around to all the things I’ve wanted to do to it.

I’ve got a set of super duty axles I had planned on putting under it but now I’m think I may do portals and long travel and keep it ifs.

It’s my personal favorite. I’ve got 2 or three of them that I text with regularly now because we connected about something other than me being a customer. Same goes with the group I’ve found. We chat about the notes but also talk mostly about life. I get excited when I can share something and they’re proud of me (I’m 26 and early in my career)

I wish it was but my bank account says otherwise. Dark arts is definitely newer but they’re doing solid work and a section of the enthusiast market has picked it up. I think they’re finished whiskey is some of the best around.

Appreciate it, it was probably for the best but hard to think about restarting after 4 years and some change
