I don't know, when I googled it to see if it was good, a company called Liquor Freight has it available at $699.99.

I dont mean to be a party pooper, but a word of caution about a lot of those sites with prices online - many have exorbitant markups for some releases, especially older ones that may have discontinued packaging or bottling, anything considered hard to find, Stores do this too. They're all shameless price gougers, using 'collectors' as their target customer. See it all the time with knives, sneakers, etc. Idk how much you paid for it if you don't recall adding it to your stockpile, but something is only worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it. I see these places selling stuff like Weller Special Reserve or Blanton's single barrel for $150+ and retail is a third of that. It grinds my gears lol
I'm not intending to shoot you down, its just these people fuck up the market for stuff. Imagine someone buying up all of your favorite IH cut and selling it for triple the cost. Manipulating the exclusivity of a product. Isn't this what Rolex does, but entirely in-house? okay, I'm just being obnoxious at this point.....

God has blessed you richly, so get down on your knees and thank him. Don’t forget the less fortunate or God will personally kick your ass. I’d love to do it for him, but I can’t be everywhere. Willie Nelson

Just for reference. I started the post with, I thought it was funny. I did not buy it, my other half passed away 6 months ago and left me with a houseful of alcohol. It was in a closet, probably for years. I googled it to see if it was any good, and the price I mentioned is what showed up. I don't think he paid that much for it. I found it amusing, and didn't take it seriously.

@ROman I’m sorry for your loss.
There’s a lot of context there that was missing and I was simply offering some insight. I hope you didn’t take it more seriously than I meant it. Just talking booze. Be well, cheers! -
No problems.
