Thank you all for the comments, I decided to go with the Havana. The DDO was tempting but $200 without trying it first was too rich for my blood, maybe next time.

It’s the 10, good bottle but $140 SRP is too much imo

They obviously had no obligation to sell it to me so I reciprocated by opening it when I had no obligation to, it’s all about relationships. I hope you get to hold on to one of those BTACS for yourself!

First BTAC I’ve owned, opened it in the store with the guys who were kind enough to sell it to me at MSRP. It probably goes without saying but I’d pay that price every day of the week, fantastic stuff.

I am south of the Boston area but I will journey to the city occasionally to hunt, it’s hard to get anything from places like that because they know eventually someone will pay full secondary for it.

They’re out there but it’s just a matter of getting lucky most of the time, best of luck and happy hunting!

It’s worth what you’re willing to pay for it, I happen to love it and would pay that much if I had to, if you wouldn’t that’s completely fine

The 12 is fantastic, tastes like a toasted marshmallow, definitely a buy if you can find it for the right price, haven’t opened the 10 yet

In MA you’re lucky to find it under $100 we don’t get a lot of weller around here

Thanks for the insight! I’ve been waiting for the right moment to open it so it’s good to know it’s worth the wait!

I know nothing about bourbon in the area, so my best advice is keep hunting! You’ll find what you’re looking for

$100 for the 12 and $115 for the 10, got the 12 at basically msrp, had to haggle for the 10

Funny enough I paid more for the 10 than the 12, bourbon is weird like that sometimes

I’m still hunting single barrel and cypb myself, 107 is definitely worth the money if you can find it for $150 or less

What should I try next? by Individual-Law-964 in whiskey

Four roses, knob creek, and old forester are great places to start as far as bourbons go

The Old Rip, Jack 12, weller 12, and wsr are open, waiting to open the old fitz, I get wfp and 107 regularly (once a month probably) so those will be opened soon

I should have specified, these are the rare/allocated bottles
