Bourbon raffle

My local store is having a bourbon raffle tomorrow, and I've got a few tickets entered. On the off chance I get a chance to buy one of these bottles, any suggestions on what to get? Assume I'm buying to keep the bottle (as I have no idea where to sell on the secondary market). To me, Pappy, Old Fitz, and George T. Stagg are no brainers, but I've got no clue on a lot of the others. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Do they let you pick the bottle, or do you get what you get?

George Stagg
Thomas Handy
Pappy 15 Year
Old Forester Birthday
Pappy 10 Year
Willlett 8 Year
EHT Barrel Proof
Remus Gatsby

All good choices on the list, those would be what I would choose but everyone's palates differ.

Stuff I'd avoid if picking from that list (based on my palate and perceived value):

Blanton's
Elmer T Lee
Willett Family Rye (4 year)
Caribou Crossing
 
I thought it was going to be pick a bottle if your number was drawn, but instead, each bottle had its own number. I was lucky enough to get two bottles. Probably overpaid for the Weller, but I'm quite happy with a bottle of Stagg for $90.

Congrats, 2 great bottles!

Weller Full Proof goes from 220-250 on secondary, if you paid less than 200 you did pretty good.

I don't feel so bad then. Paid 130 for the Weller. Guess I was just surprised that the "slightly above msrp" was higher for the Weller than the Stagg.

Yes, I'd buy a case of WFP at that price, you did good.
 
I bought my last bottle of ETL for 35$ and Stagg JR for 60$… these prices are getting nuts lol

Go drink some OGD BID, EW BID, or the Makers cask strength and save some money for cigars :LOL:

Nice pickups l, always loved the color blue on that Weller FP
