Jim Beam Distiller's Masterpiece

[buffdaddy]

Saw this on Uncrate today:

"Think the Kentucky Derby was your only excuse to visit Louisville this year? Think again. You'll likely be flying into the city to go fetch a bottle of Jim Beam Distiller's Masterpiece ($200). This limited-edition release is available only at the Jim Beam American Stillhouse in Clermont, KY, roughly 30 minutes outside Falls City. As for the booze itself, it's a potent 100-proof, extra-aged in the optimal rack-house position as determined by Master Distiller Fred Noe, and then finished in PX sherry casks to give it a unique dynamic all its own. Smooth, rich, and full-bodied, it will arrive in its own wooden case that's sure to become a highlight of your liquor shelf."

200 bones for a bottle of hooch?!?!? My poor ol' taster sure isn't worth that kind of scratch. I bet I wouldn't be able to A & B this stuff from normal bourbon. I'm glad of that, as I'm a po' boy.

What does everyone do with the limited edition bottles and display boxes once they are done drinking the contents?

Fill them with JW Red and resell them on craigslist. "Tasted a little, didn't like it."



Edit: This is a joke.

It may be a joke, but you might be surprised how true it is. We regularly get people who've bought decanters of something fancy, saying it doesn't taste right. When it turns out to be JW Red, or J+B, or cold tea, or Ribena (really, but just the one case), they get cross and demand refunds from us. When we point out that they bought it on eBay or similar, they threaten to go on Facebook/Twitter and badmouth us. They rarely do...

And here I thought the punchline was that no one would be dumb enough to buy it.

People think they're getting a bargain. They forget the whole caveat emptor thing.
