I finally "got a guy" at my local Binny's. Called me up and put aside an EH Taylor Barrel Proof for me. I've seen them on secondary and forget about paying those prices, but at retail, I'm a happy (and lucky) camper.
Also received another bottle t8ke (Jay West) picked, a 9 year wheated bourbon at 115 proof. I like the last pick so I took a chance. Review to follow when I crack it.
