  • SRP Stop!!

    Love all your episodes… BUT you have to STOP talking in terms of SRP. No one makes a decision to buy bourbon these days based on SRP- especially LTOs. SECONDARY is all that matters (especially in OH where you can’t buy HH22 at SRP). Please add ‘would you pay $$$ secondary for this bottle..’. Thx!
