| Well, it’s a week late for my birthday, but I got an email from Old Forester that I won the opportunity to purchase a bottle of 2025 Birthday Bourbon. It’s a 5 hour drive to Louisville, but it’s the first bourbon drawing I’ve won. I’ve never paid more than $90 for bourbon, but for this at $200 I’ll make an exception. |
Opportunity knocked but I was in the shower.

I got the usual thanks, try again next year email. Enjoy the experience. It's a great distillery and even better bourbon. |

Take it from a guy with a rather large collection. Enjoy what you have now, you might win another (unicorn) between now and then, it appears the bubble has popped. I've pretty much stopped buying and am drinking stuff that I bought years ago when it was cheap and plentiful. None of us are guaranteed tomorrow.
