Looks quite interesting, but a bit beyond my range. I'd be interested to know how it tastes, etc. if anyone who gets a bottle can write up a review.

German is a master, no doubt. And with such a limited release, I don't suppose anyone will actually be drinking theirs. A collectors item for sure.

That would be really cool to be one of only 34 owners. For $2k, and then $4k, imagine the cache of store-boughts you could ring up!

It would be cool for those of us who can't afford it but want to try it to try and go in on a bottle and then try and split it somehow. Then the quandary becomes, who keeps the empty bottle!

I would of course.
The bottle actually comes with a 200ml bottle to taste so you dont have to open the 1.5 lt.
I like your idea of pitching in for one any other takers on this. I would be willing to put in my share or alittle more.

10 people hypothetically going in would give us 150 mL each and maybe we just put our names in a hat and have a drawing (before delivery of course so it can be personalized) for the decanter and the 200 mL bottle. Or maybe 2 drawings, 1 for the decanter, 1 for the 200mL side bottle.

$200 bucks each with 10 people is nothing to scoff at - that's almost a bottle of HSS or DJ Real, but hey, 34 bottles ain't a whole lot, so I'd do it.

Imagine hanging on to both the 200ml and 1.5l and wait 10 years. I'm sure it will be a 5k-10k dollar collectible. Whats the point in drinking something like that anyways? I think you can find AsomBroso's 11yr anejo for 900.00 if you curious on how something that aged would taste.

Or maybe I'm just jealous because I cant pitch in

Carssausage, I am waiting for my plan in Mexico but will be back at about 3 or 4am so I will talk to you more about this bottle when I get home. Wait and do not make any purchase or deals with others till I talk to you. Talk to you tomorrow, Joe

So I got a few messages about my comment to Carssausage written below. In short, I hope that people never make purchases of this amount without asking for more information. To buy a $2000 bottle with almost no information is crazy. I passed on some of my concerns and responses to my questions to Carssausage because he seemed like he was going to buy one and I typically talk to him on a regular basis anyway. With all that said German is a great person and I am in no way saying that he is trying to rip anyone off. Instead I am saying that anyone interested should ask for a lot more info (and I mean a lot. ie barrel type, NOM, distillery, etc.).
