@RascalCatify same here. Depending on the bottle, I won't even pay like $25 over. I want to get a backup bottle of EH Taylor because my is at about a 3rd bottle left, but I passed on it for $56. I paid $45 for the other one I have. I kinda should have done it for $56 though, being they are about $50 msrp now. I usually see them for $70 now, but won't pay that.

@Oildriller666 Rare Character is a wonderful brand. The barrel codes give you an indication of general mash bill family. RIO is MGP distilled barrels aged at Castle & Key, with a mash bill of 75% corn, 21% rye, 4% malted barley. TKO is a Tennessee rye Coy Hill doppelganger at 70% rye, 25% corn, and 5% malted barley. KOA is a really good Kentucky straight bourbon at 75% corn, 21% rye, and 4% malted barley. Hope that helps!
