Bump

Sold out of Pappy Van Winkle 10yrs.  (Still can get them, but they aren't personally on hand)

Prices updated and bottle OP updated as well.


That's a serious bottle of booze.

Pappy 10yr lowered to $475 with free shipping included!

Received this beautiful beast today   (*SOLD*)



OP was updated today as well.

I also added a way for people to buy 1 fluid ounce of the worlds best rye in the OP... the price is $200 per fluid ounce, but that is WAY better than $4,000 a bottle for someone that just wants to say that they have tried it!

Cheers <3

All 12 years sold.

I'll be adding a few new bottles to the OP today!

prices updated.

Will cut bulk deals if you buy me out! <3

Pearls before swine

fair point ... I'm not an alcohol connoisseur but would enjoy imbibing this one day (hopefully).

And you don't have to be an alcoholic to enjoy this fine piece of art... you can be a heroin addict too or whatever!   

No fee for accepting Bitcoin.  That was only during that fucking ridiculous blockchain spam (I totally got rekt during that shit).

Everything is back to normal at the moment sending and receiving Bitcoin wise.

I really really really hate charging any type of "fees".


I've not had the balls to try one to be completely honest.  My friend has tried one at a tasting and it said it had a really nice flavor.  The juice in those bottles is michter's 20 yr, but much older than the majority of anything you'll see on the markets.

I really like drinking the 10yr's and they don't make me feel bad at this point in my life.  


IN OTHER NEWS:

I now only have 1 or 2 of the 12yrs in hand and I'm currently out of 23yr, 20yr, 15yr, & 13 yr Rye.

mmmmm IM not an alcoholic but I would try out the 2250 bottle if it was around and the bitcoin price was a few hundred k... what does it taste like?  R U still charging a 200 dollar fee for bitcoin payments???

OP now includes discount prices if you buy 10 bottles at a time.

International shipping available!

$6000 for ten 12yrs

$5250 for ten 10yrs.

From bourbon to hooch! (make the most of wherever you are at!)

Prices and bottles updated in the OP.

bump for the Bitcoin dump.

Mark Karpele really got us on this one fellas. 

This Whiskey is truly feckin amazing guuuuuuud. Bitcoin-owning-whiskey-lovers this is a must-have, you all should buy some Pappy van Winkle from BayAreaCoins otherwise you can't die... it is simple, you must have tasted this awesome whiskey once in a life time

I broke my empty bottle of 23 year today by accident.  

At least that means the rest are rarer and thankfully it wasn't full.   *fuck*

Thank you very much for the kind words!

Cheers and I hope you enjoy them.

Replied to your PM.


I really try to stay away from anything that isn't Julian Van Winkle... It makes it easier for me to learn a single brand than a whole industry.

PM sent about the Pappy. Also, do you have any ER17 by any chance? thanks!

I bought 2 bottles of Pappy Van Winkle 12y 2016 Whiskey from BACs. Communication is excellent and I did pay in BTC upfront, escrow not needed BACs is trusted very much. Got tracking for shipment and the bottles arrived in 1 piece, nothing broken because BACs packed these Pappies so very well, even if the box dropped out the plane, bounced on a boat back in the air then got abducted by aliens who shot the box on the back of rocket to my places, the bottles won't break. Epic BACs Thanks a lot. I am gonna enjoy this whiskey, cheers ! All was shipped to the Netherlands by the way.

International shipping available again.

If I cut it... I'd let you at least know <3

I'll let you know if we figure something out.

(Cuttin Pappy would be sacrilegious... no worries, this isn't the 30's any more )

That's great, if you do get around to it please let me know and I'd likely pick up a few mini bottles. Making sure the drink doesn't get switched out and nothing contaminates the original taste would be an important part

I think that is absolutely a great idea.

We've been playing with the idea of breaking bottles down into more affordable tasting sizes.

Honestly, I'm in the same boat and small vials would make it affordable for me to have a drink once every blue moon as well!

I'm going to look into this further in 2018 for sure.

Just an idea, but have you thought about doing something slightly different with your bottles of Pappy? There is a company in the UK called Master of Malt and they stock a wide selection of drinks. However the quirky thing they do is offer 3cl "drams", in sort of clinical bottles with a wax seal on top. I bought a pappy one of these last year and gave it away as a present, however I would love to try it personally and a small taste would be perfect.

I calculated it at the time and they would recoup 2-3 times the cost of a whole bottle (at the prices you charge) with minimal extra outlay. Finding a food safe lab, choosing the right seal and buying the bottles seem like small extra costs for the return on the amount of bottles you'd be selling. It seems lots of people are interested, but the high entry cost prevents a lot of people from buying.

Negative ghost rider, sorry!!!

I am looking for a bottle of four roses as a gift. Any luck in havjng one?

You're welcome to call BCore Coin whatever you'd like.

It's called Bitcoin. Cya later.

I do agree with you that $200 is GROSSLY excessive and as a full-time Bitcoiner for the past 5 years & a Bitcoin lover for 6 years... it breaks my heart, but I'd rather aim high than be stuck with Bitcoin Core Coins that I can't even afford to make the needed transfers.

I'm happy to accept Bitcoin Cash, Clamcoin, LTC or other coins that don't have the insane fees that Bitcoin Core Coin has.

Honestly, I can feel a little piece of me die every time I send Bitcoin Core Coin lately... I'd rather accept Paypal rather than BCore Coin at this point.  .

A $200 fee is somewhat excessive. I sent over $1000 today with a $30 fee. Just switch to Litecoin fees are cheap and confirms fast.

I'm sorry to announce this...

I will no longer accept Bitcoin Core Coin payments at face value.  There will be an additional $200 mark up for anyone wishing to pay with Bitcoin Core Coin.  This fee will cover the costs of me actually moving the Bitcoins... absolutely fucking nuts.

UPDATE: There is no longer any fee to accept Bitcoin.  This was during a time where a single transaction cost me $150 to get a confirmation within a week... it was fucking nuts.  Bitcoin has still not protected itself from this.  I absolutely believe blocks should be bumped to 1.5 MB or 2.  At least make it cost more to fill up the blocks and let's make mining even more competitive.

I have a work friend who is looking for a bottle of pappy and is looking to spend in the $700 to $900 range.  Do you have anything he may be interested in?

Funny story is about a week ago I got a 'special invite' to participate in the 2017 pappy allocation at my local BevMo. Several emails advertising, sales starting at a specific hour: 23yr for $500, 20yr for $400, 15yr for $300, etc... Nice right? Totally down to see what all the hype is about

I got on the site right at release hoping to snag one of each or at least one of any. Store allocation was TWO BOTTLES each. "Sold out" before I could click add-to-cart.

Eh well maybe next year 

I've really really thought hard about opening a bottle and making small affordable vials.

Haha

The 20yr is actually unavailable as of this afternoon... hopefully, I'll have another next week.

Can I get a tasting sample of the 20yr please 

Christmas bump!

Get a bottle before the holidays!

I have.

I've tried 10yr, 12yr, 15yr, and  23yr.

Always wanted to try some of this, but I'm not anywhere near rich enough to justify buying it. 

Have you tried any BayAreaCoins?

Price increase on the 10yr, Hirsh's and the 13yr Rye.

Plus a 20yr added.

I had a glass of the 12 year a few weeks back... they have half a bottle left at Cache Restaurant.  It was like $40 for one ounce and the owner told me that it was going to be $80 per ounce  .  I'm sure it will sell too.

Cheaper for me to try a $80 ounce than a $xxx hundred dollar bottle.


You got to be sure to store the bottle standing up.  The cork can make that shit look horrible otherwise.  

Bottles you intend to keep should be wrapped at the top to prevent evaporating.

Just got home from my grandparents, talked to my grandpa and apparently he had a bottle that he purchased something like 20 years ago.  It was the 13 year Rye, and I am going to see if I can figure out which year it was from.
Unfortunately it only had about 2 fingers worth left in it, and it looked like it would make you sick if you drank it, so he poured it out, but the bottle is still really cool.

This stuff is soo delicious!  I like the 12 year personally.  If you live in Florida, total wine carries it.   You just gotta find out the day it delivers.

Don't give up hunting it.

I found a place in Hot Springs, Arkansas that had some behind the shelf... They wanted $2,500 for a 20 year though lol.

Hell ya man!

Just let me know what you are thinking and I'm happy to help.  My personal 2016 bottles will be cheaper than the guys who actively sell 2017 on the second market I would suppose...  Frankly I have some AMAZING bottles to choose from right here.  Example, I paid $2500 for each one of the Hirsch less than a year ago.  Each one is worth about $3500 now I've heard.  My friend believes that they are going to be $5,000 bottles fairly easily... I believe we are actively working on trading them for some other $5000 bottle that has a bit more market "liquidity".

HOWEVER, if you feel adventures... you can always try to find people who came from the first market and are OK cutting the second markets prices.  (I hope that makes sense)

I don't mind giving you my friends contact information and you can deal with him direct if you want (bit of a bitcoin noob, but he's smart/good/honest).  I've helped him setup a Gemini account a while back *rip $1300 Bitcoins for both of us*.  It may not be a bad thing to be with me though, but whatever floats your boat!

Cool Cool!  I just paid to the address above!  I will send shipping information to you in a PM.

I am so looking forward to this bottle!  We are going to enjoy the hell out of it!

And I would love to purchase some bottles to start a collection/investment.  If you want to help facilitate that I would really appreciate it.  Just let me know how it works.

This is right most of the time.  

My bottles were bought from someone who didn't know the difference or didn't care, so I paid the same for my 2013 as I did for my 2016...  I really don't mind over looking the year most the time. (If that makes sense)


Sounds like a plan!  I'll ship it on Tuesday (11-7-17)... having boxes in the post office over the weekend always freaks me out for some reason.

0.1642 BTC = $1200 atm according to Preev

1PRk9rBkmeL8vAWxbkLMLFDfT4MpPtHLrD

Be sure to PM me the shipping information after you make the payment please.

Also, you can see in the picture that the 2013 stamp kinda fades towards the end of the #'s... that is totally normal and no one looks down on that.  Bourbon people don't frown on bent tags and rubs like the majority of other markets do (baseball cards, beanie babies and other shits that don't hold value well  .)

Just the 2017 because I figured they would be cheapest since they are newest, but I guess I could be wrong on that front.  I guess I figured I could pick up a bottle or two of each age and hold them and in 3 to 5 years sell them for some profit.  But perhaps that is not necessarily how it works?

I will pay for the 2013 bottle and take it.  And if you would just ship it like on Tuesday or Wednesday of next week, that would be perfect!

Tried to get a picture of the difference between the time stamps from 2013 vs 2016

(This picture was a royal BITCH to try to take)

Any reason in particular why you are drawn to the 2017 bottles?

FYI, I recommend purchasing the oldest bottles possible if they are priced the same as the most recent bottling.

My pleasure!


I've been messing with Pappy Van Winkle since 2014... Bottle price has been steadily increasing since I've got involved.  It kinda reminds me how it feels to buy Bitcoins... that "Man I was just paying $1000 last year and now it cost how much?!" feeling.

I bought my first 5 bottles of Pappy 23 for like... $1300 I think maybe in 2014.


Honestly, I don't ask them where they source them from.  They are extremely well networked in the second market bourbon scene.

You won't even notice my mark up on bottles I have to source outside my inventory.  No worries about that, I'm "cheap".


That is totally fine!  

Might I make the suggestion of purchasing my bottle of 2013 PVW 15 year rather than then 2016.  They both are the same price from me, but the 2013 is worth "more" due to age.  

The difference between the 2013 and the 2016 bottle is going to be the time stamp on the bottle.  The 2013 uses black ink and the 2016 uses laser engravings.


That is totally fine!  

Just so you know... my friend that I purchase my bottles from messaged me the other day about possibly buying a handful of bottles back... the three 15 years being some of those bottles.  If you want to go a head a pay for the 2013 15yr... I'd be absolutely happy to hodl it for you.  (No pressure of course)

Thank you for answering my questions, I am definitely interested in sourcing a few bottles of the 2017.  At least 1 to drink and the rest to hold and resell in a few years.  Have you been doing this long?  Do you find they appreciate in value very much?
Also, I assume your not going to tell me how your friend sources them?  What kind of markup would you want on the current year bottles?

I will take the 2016 15 year pappy van winkle at $1200.  But I don't want it shipped until the end of next week if that is ok?  I have a business trip and will be gone until Thursday evening.

I do know that your home/renters insurance will cover the retail value of bottles of booze that are being collected and displayed.

Insurance will not cover booze that is for drinking.

I believe they would only give you like $249 for a bottle of Pappy 23... which is lame, but I'm not 100% sure about what they'd pay out.

I honestly don't.

I tried to call the ATF years ago and no one bothered to return my call.

Fairly sure that selling a fancy bottle for collecting purposes is fine... they are concerned about people trying to bootleg and such.

Only negative press I can think of in regards to fancy booze is some Chinese/Japanese kid got busted selling fake wine to the Koch brothers.  My bottles aren't fake, so no worries !

If I told you... I'd have to kill you! teasing!

I have a friend in NYC that is fucking BRILLIANT. 

We source bottles from all over.


Those raffles aren't as fair as one may think a lot of the time I believe.  

Then those bottles get pumped into the second market.


Ya man I can get basically any bottle you'd like... 2017's are the easiest to find right now.  

I don't believe any of the bottles pictured are 2017... I'd have to double check!

Holy crap, how did you get these?  I have been asking around in Kansas (since now is the shipping time) and if a store gets them, they will maybe get 1 bottle (notice not case, but bottle) and then they raffle off the chance to buy it at their crazy marked up prices.  I am definately interested and will look at your prices and talk with some buddies, but are you able to get more 2017 bottles?

EDIT: Also, do you happen to know the laws around selling bottles that are held for investment?

OP updated.

I added some empty bottles to the OP for sale.

Ops, I deleted my previous response because I was confused.

I responded to someone else's PM in regards to these bottles... I've not received a PM from you.

I updated a little information in the OP as well.

What would you like to know more about?

You sir, have my interest!

tell me more... here or DM is good

Free guaranteed shipping on all USA orders.  International is at face value (no handling fees or what not).

It's that time of the year and I have to start parting ways with some of my collections!

I have some Pappy Van Winkle that probably needs to quit collecting dust at my house.

(9) Van Winkle 10 Year - $500 (Wine searcher data)

(4) The 13yr Hirsch Lot 00 bottles are pretty bad ass (bottled in 2000)... Julian Van Winkle allowed Hirsch to have the first choice of the Van Winkle rye barrels and bottled the Hirsch first before bottling the Pappy Van Winkle Rye.  $4000

(2) The 20yr Rye Royal bottles also have an interesting story (bottled in 2005)... they have the same juice as the Michters 20 year original distillery!  The bottles were bottled in American under the supervision of the United States Government and then exported to Japan.  As you can tell we have since sourced a few of those bottles back to 'Murica!  $2000

Empty 23 year with the bag and tag... $75. (Fucking broke it... one less in the world lol ops)
Empty 10 year's $50

Inquire for details!
