Kentucky Bourbon, sent bottles (6 Replies, Read 6543 times)

I would like to inform the family members that some of those bottles are quite valuable and were to be display bottles. The 23 year old Pappy Van Winkle currently goes for $1500, the 20 year old is $1000. Of course I did not pay that for them. If you can contact the family of Tex Hill, I had sent him the 20 year old, gave him the 23 year old at the U.S.A.F. Museum in Ohio. That 23 year old bottle was a 1998 and may be worth +$3500 now. He also had another bourbon in a box wrapped in paper. Just didn't know if it had been passed on as to what they had. Edited by AHerbert : April 2, 2016, 9:57 am

I gave Dick Rossi a magnum sized bottle of Northern Italian wine as he had said his father was from northern Italy. Also had sent a bottle of first year of Woodford Reserve to him, the wine was presented to him at Wright Patterson. Also met his wife and son there. I don't recall what I sent to Rode'.
