The stock person was hanging around and I asked if there were any more and she said there was only one per customer, per day.
The bottle looks like cut crystal, the a horse and rider on the cap, with the bottle individually numbered, dated and cataloged with Barrel No, Warehouse No and Rick No. It is 93 proof.
Haven't opened it yet, but should I go back and get more? Seemed to be rationing it pretty tightly and at $43, it wasn't an expensive bottle.

Thats a steal at 43. I just paid 85 out the door because I have only seen it in a store one other time since moving to SE Michigan.
