Sigh...
Yeah, I won't pay that either. I was on my way to Lake Havasau, AZ for my BIL's surprise birthday. I had figured rather than fly with booze, pick it up there.
I get to Vegas, hit a big liquor store, "Hey, you have any Blantons?" "We sure do, come with me!"
We go to the back, there is a big fingerprint lock glass vault, we go in he get's the bourbon, we go to the register.
I grab a bottle of water, he rings it up and says "$243.62 please."
I said, "How much was that water?"
$240 for Blantons. Dude, this isn't Pappy. No, put that back, I settled for some EH Taylor for Tommy. He liked it.
Pricing on bourbon kills me these days.
