I have a friend who can make a lamp out of them.Quote:

$150 in the states $25 down there
Found a bottle in Covington. Haven't found any in Lafayette. Will check out Champagnes per J's post above. That stuff is smooth.Quote:

Hell, that would be a real challenge!!Quote:

Unfortunately for some of our local stores, but good for some of us they are opening a Total Wine & more on Ambassador. When I was living on the left coast they typically had the best prices and you could find just about anything. Basically the wal-mart of alcohol, similar to a Bevmo but better prices.
$200 to $260 online.Quote:

Last time I bought a bottle of Blanton's it was about $60. That was over a year ago. Haven't seen it for sale in town since then.Quote:

I think I will pass.
Usually always have Buffalo Trace on hand for cocktails. Eagle Rare and Basil Hayden’s for sipping. Eagle Rare is really good at its price point.
Been drinking more rum lately and picked up a bottle of Plantation from Marcello’s. Rum seems to be a lot easier on the wallet, even the top shelf stuff.
I 2nd the recommendation. Longbranch is some of the finest Wild Turkey that I have tasted. 101 will aways be my favorite bourbon of all time.Quote:

Dont know how often they do it but they will visit various distilleries and select a barrel to be bottled and only sold at their store.
