I considered going for it, but decided not to after talking to Black Coral, and basically due to not knowing how it tasted and that the value on secondary is about the same as MSRP, at least in some of the bourbon groups I am in.

A friend tried it and said it tasted almost identical to Pappy 23, going into it with that general expectation sure makes it hard to justify the cost. But like they say, gotta catch em all
