They didn't have the Van Winkle 12, but I did pick up a bottle of Evan Williams Single Barrel along with the GTS.
While they didn't have the 12, they did have one bottle of the Pappy Van Winkle 23, and it was $169 (might have been $179, but I don't think so). I couldn't bring myself to buy it (as I don't feel I have the palate to appreciate it), but from what I've seen, that seemed like a good price.
I asked if they got any Eagle Rare 17, as I likely would have bought it, but they did not. I saw a bottle of Handy Sazerac behind the counter, but didn't jump to buy it as I don't know much about it (not that I know much about the GTS except for the rave reviews here and elsewhere
).
