Bourbon heads what should I do?


Keep it for my collection or sell it?


It retails for $249.00 and sells for around for around $6-8k.


Tough choice.

 

[Tranquil]

If you can actually get 6k for it, then sell it.

That's low. But I will probably never see it again. Hence my issue.

Tough call

 

[nush]

If you are not going to drink it, then sell it.

 

[TDiddyLive]

That's low. But I will probably never see it again. Hence my issue.

If you have ever spent half that on a single bottle, keep it. If not, sell it.

 

[Flash Junkins]

If you are not going to drink it, then sell it.

I'm not just going yo put on my shelf behind a glass case. However I'll keep sipping the Angels Envy over blowing through it in a week showing off to my friends.

You know what I'm saying...

Hmmmm. Pretty close I have put together a pretty nice collection.

 

[nush]

You know what I'm saying...

As someone who does not collect alcohol.

Not really.

To each their own. No harm no foul.

 

[nush]

Exactly, you into that cool. Guy collect all sorts of things, each just as valid as the other.

 

[SpiceRacz]

$6k > bottle of liquor

 

[Flash Junkins]

$6k > bottle of liquor

That's a matter of opinion and luck I guess.

 

[GymWolf]

If you don't need the money, keep the bottle for a special occasion.

 

[Sosokrates]

It retails for $249 but sells for 6-8k?

Im confused.

 

[IDKFA]

That's low. But I will probably never see it again. Hence my issue.

Personally, I'd sell it if I had a bottle. I get that you'd own a bottle of it again, but we're talking about 6K here.

The only reason I'd keep it is if the value increased over time.

 

[Amory]

Absolutely sell it lol. 6 grand?!

 

[IntentionalPun]

Sell or razzle it.

 

[ClanOfNone]

It retails for $249 but sells for 6-8k?

Im confused.

Yeah, I don't get that either.

 

[IntentionalPun]

Secondary market.

Scalping basically.

 

[ClanOfNone]

If folks are rich enough, or dumb enough, to pay 6k+ for a bottle of booze that retails for $250 then I'd sell that shit in a New York minute.

 

[Sosokrates]

Secondary market.

Scalping basically.

Oh.

I would probably sell then.

No bourbon is worth that much unless you're a millionaire.

If you want to drink a nice bourbon i recommend wild turkey 101, its delicious in old fashioned's.

 

[Punished Miku]

Keep it on a shelf and use it as part of your identity. Then every day you'll have $6-8k more confidence and can use it to pick up chicks. Or you know ... sell it.

 

[IntentionalPun]

Boof it.

Be a legend.

 

[Fbh]

Mix with with a coke and lemon

Seriously though, I'd sell it.
Then again I'm not into collecting stuff, or expensive booze. I don't think I ever had something from a $100+ bottle that I thought was worth the price.

 

[Kev Kev]

Don’t drink it or open it, at all. Sit on it for 20 years. Sell it.

 

[Warnen]

Trade a miner for a 3090

 

[Raven117]

Hold on to it for awhile. Let the newness wear off. Then make a choice if you want to sell or keep

 

[LiquidMetal14]

I'm not familiar with alcohol and a molecular level but I just bought some Jack Daniels Tennessee Honey Whiskey, whatever that brand of vodka is Smirnoff (probably misspelled), and some good Dissorono (again, misspelled lol).

In my mind having that much booze I keep thinking that fish don't fry in the kitchen, beans don't burn on the grill.

 

[EviLore]

Sell it and treat yourself to a different $200 or $300 bottle. You'll get that prestige experience and still pocket the cash.

 

[DarkestHour]

I am a fellow bourbon enthusiast that strongly believes in spending a ton of money to drink and then piss something out is dumb. Let the taters have it instead.

 

[AlteredForms]

Sell that stuff before the market value collapses. Unless you're a whiskey aficionado who loves giving pretentious descriptor terms to each drink...

 

[Champomade]

Sell it and then buy it retail the next day for 250.
Repeat the experience as many times as possible for maximum profit.

 

[jason10mm]

Pappy is good but not worth the premium IMHO. I've had it and it's not like THAT much better. So choosing to drink it is a choice to sip down $300 a dram. If you have a REALLY special business or personal event to celebrate then save it for that.

Otherwise hold it for as long as you can unless the 6-7k you'll get is life changing for you. Then sell away, improve your life, and be richer for it.

Personally I'd try to trade it for a very good condition Rolex. The value on those has gone catastrophically insane but I bet you could trade your $250 buy into a 5 or 6 digit Rolex sub that you will have for life (and your kids, grandkids, etc).

 

[chromhound]

Sell it and invest that money

This infinite money hack seems legit.

Understood. But I need neither, and by saying that I mean I'm lucky...not cocky.

I decided that I'll hold it until my son goes to college and let him make the decision...

 

[EverythingsOverrated]

If you like whiskey, keep it.

If you're not a moderate to big whiskey fan, sell that shit.

 

[Flash Junkins]

My son will make that decision in 7 years. I assure you he will hear both sides.

 

[GeekyDad]

...Tough choice.

 

[GeorgPrime]

Drink it all at once - YOLO!

 

[Badlucktroll]

 

[TheMan]

drizzle that shit on a huge pair of tits and drink it off her. Please let me live vicariously through you

 

[Rest]

Drink that shit.

 

[CrankyJay™]

Head over a whiskey bar or local steak house who had it on the menu and try it (if you have before). Make an informed decision.

Personally I’d take Evilore’s advice.

 

[dem]

You need to be wealthy or an absolute moron to open that bottle.

 

[Porcile]

How much will it increase in value if left unopened? I have made bank on unopened Pokémon card stuff this last year.

 

[BouncyFrag]

Make Jell-O shots.

 

[IntentionalPun]

There’s no reason to hang onto it IMO. The bourbon aftermarket has never been higher and bottles don’t necessarily go up in value over time just depends on the year and what bourbon drinkers think of the “vintage.”

 

[n0razi]

I got gifted a bottle of Yamazaki 21... how much can I sell this for?
