    This is yet another product that will only be seen in museums with the price jacked way up. If I get lucky and stumble upon it for a good price, I won't argue with good fortune, but I won't expend a lot of effort or excessive amounts of money for anything. Hopefully stocks of the older expressions of Jack Daniel's will increase with each annual release and they will be easier to get in the future. Until then, I'll find other things to drink.

    Local So Cal is 3 bills for the 12 year and the only place I've ever seen Coyhill wants a grand! FOR A BOTTLE OF JD!!!! I need to get my arse outta Cali cuz even with this crummy economy, the whisky hunt is straight up ridiculously expensive. I gotta stop watching these reviews cuz there is no way I'm ever gonna be able to get a bottle and you guys make me want to get my hands on even a sample of it.

    Severely overpriced, which makes it a massive disappointment. When other massive distilleries can market their own 12 years or older age statement Whiskey for significantly less, it's nothing more than a cash grab. I'd wager you could find a mid-shelf Scotch, Bourbon, or another Whiskey that'd slap Jack Daniel's 12 and put it on the curb. Nothing to love here.

    • @LeatherDaddy97
