But we're having a Bourbon lottery here in the state for allocated bottles of bourbon. I joined and looked at the bottles and picked one I'd like to try.. You could put in for all of them, but if you won any bottle, your name is removed from the lottery for the rest.. I was told I did it wrong I should've went for them all.. Whatever.. Emails started going out this morning, I haven't been notified if I won or lost.. But I'm in a FB group and a guy posted he won a bottle (not the one I wanted), and was mad he won because it wasn't the bottle he had his heart set on... That frustrates me because I'm sure there's someone out there who wanted that and now won't get it cause of him.. Gears are ground.

Open a website called Libation Frustration and offer bottle swaps! Sometimes you get lucky and can undo what the stupid hath wrought!

The other part to the frustration is some of these guys get upset if you drink any bottle you bought that was hard to find.. Hey boss I don't spend my money on this to look at it.

Should be a crime. I have a buddy that acquired a bottle of van winkle 20 year and it's locked in his safe like a precious artifact. I get it's a $5000 bottle but why buy it if not to enjoy it

Some of these guys are finding Blantons and paying upwards of $150+ and have several bottles but won't drink it..

Someone said people who's never had it wouldn't understand.. I said I've had it, it's ok, I think it's overpriced for $60/bottle (normal going rate).. Boy did I create an uproar..
