    I think Double Rainbow is way higher up there over the other two. I found Toasted Marshmallow fell off real quick, but BA DR is still damn delicious. I traded my BA Adjunct Trail for BA Henna Double Rainbow, Great Notion BA Double Stack, and Label Us Notorious. Looking back I really won due to the explosion of interest in BA AT at that time. I'd settle for smaller pluses for batch one now.

    That said, no idea where b2 would land if/when that drops.

    I've asked before without much response about attaining decent bourbon. I'm looking for something in the neighborhood of a GTS, THH, Eagle Rare or in in that vicinity.
    Would something like:

    Fundamental Theorem+Chaos Grid Final Course+MT Expresso macaroon+FOb3

    get me there? What's attainable above something like Willet 4 yr rye?

    Sounds like Double Rainbow is too rich for my blood right now. Those are the 3 that I have not had so I guess I'll start by tracking down Toasted Marshmallow and Karma.

    You are close to value of GTS or THH, still aways off for ER17.

    Could get something like a rock Hill farms + Elmer t Lee +?, old Fitzgerald 13yr +, w12 + owa +, Willet 6 yr sp+

    There are loads out there that are attainable above Willet 4 yr rye. In Washington Willet 4 yr rye reg/sp sit on the shelves for about $100 after tax and that is also about secondary value for them.

    How many treehouse cans would be fair to offer for FOb5 + NCb2? Thinking 10-12 should do it right?

    I'd say a little more. FOb5 would probably be 6 cans and NCb2 8-9 cans. Also depends if some of the cans arent as released as often VG, VH, DG, ect

    I have access to most of Adroit Theory's distro at the local bottle shops. Will check on availability and report back. Zero interest in 450 or 3F though, access to anything else?

    Something I would point out as an "oh by the way." As @jheimbigner can likely attest to, Washington has the highest sales tax in the country when it comes to liquor. I want to say it's around 35%.

    https://www.salestaxhandbook.com/washington/alcohol

    Just something to keep in mind when you see an "after tax" list price for a bottle of booze in Washington.

    Thanks John I recall that having been to Seattle before. We get Willet 4yr here I've even seen in at Costco but those other aforementioned bottles don't make it down here much... that or I'm at the wrong liquor stores

    I recently traded my Toasted Marshmallow away for Lou Pepe Framboise ‘13. I had 2 people reach out to me after I posted that ISO:FT. I love LPF and desperately wanted a vintage I hadn’t had.

    Would an Assassin 19 be enough to land both Damon 18 + Damon 19? If not, what kind of plus would I need (I'm on the Assassin side).

    Thanks @John_M

    Yup usually Total wine has slightly below secondary cost for decent bourbon and scotch, but most individually owned places (at least in Spokane) price 'rare' bourbon/scotch right, if not slightly above secondary price.

    Crazy that I can get a 750ml of Buffalo Trace close to $15 cheaper if I just go into Idaho.

    This seems close. If you add a jk limited release, bet it gets done quick.

    As far as $4$, I think it is almost spot on.

    It's pretty bad here in Oregon as well. My wife and I don't drink a lot of hard liquor (though my wife likes a good gin and tonic), so I don't find myself buying a lot of liquor. When I do, I try to get it on trips to California (or in duty free stores) for the exact same reason.

    The price differential is pretty significant.
