Scored a bottle of Pappy 12 with an Abraham Bowman..... Last Pappy in the store couldn't believe the local guy got a few. Also he running bulleit 1.75 for $45. I will be exceedingly drunk later
I paid 75 but I buy a lot there. He brings in good wine and good liquor at big discounts for good customers to keep is there. I live a county away from dallas and it's a dry county so he throws you a bone every now and then cause his prices on everything else are high since he is next to a dry county. Paid full for the Bowman also which helped with the deal.

I don't feel as bad now. Glad you got your hands on some. I opened mine the night i got it and had about an ounce. I'm not sure if it is the placebo effect, but it is really really damn good bourbon.
I make a simple syrup, a little sugar and a splash of water mixed together in the bottom of the glass, then add a couple dashes of Angostura bitters, then 2 oz's of bourbon, then I add 1 jumbo ice cube and let it sit for 4-5 minutes. Delicious.
Some recipes add a garnish of orange peel but I haven't tried that yet.
My 3 bottles of Lot B, 10 year, and 15 year, which I purchased for about $300 could have sold between $850-$1050 on the secondary market. I'm not too upset that I kept them, they are some fine fine fine tasting bourbons.
Just no frikkin soda water in my Old Fashioneds, damnit!
They are my go-to adult beverage, but I can't stand it when some dumbass bartender tries to muck around with a classic. Keep it simple. Just add a bit of simple syrup and bitters, muddle my cherry and orange, pour on the bourbon, and add a splash of water to top it off.

I make simple syrup in boiling water-use a 1:1 ratio (usually a cup of each). With this drink I tend to go heavy on the bitters and prefer a cherry garnish but to each their own. Also if you want to have an interesting twist make it with Irish Whiskey.

I've tried an orange peel garnish since that post and I wasn't overly impressed. It was really fragrant and took away from the whiskey flavor. Maybe I just did too much, though.
