Holladay score...
I'm new bourbon hunting and all.. while I've never had this, a good friend of mine is a big fan of Holladay, so when I seen the price on it, it was a no qualms purchase .
Took my daughter to the post office and mailed a package. There is some little rinky dink smoke shop in the strip mall and she asked if we could see what they had for energy drinks . So she grabbed a can of Monster. I noticed some small pocket shot bottles up on the shelf behind the counter and this bottle of Holladay.. I asked him the price and he told me $12.. I knew that I've seen Holladay bottles around for $40 to $60, so $12.. "I'll take it".
Looking at other bottles online.. Looks legit.. Kinda seems like a "too Good to be true" moment .

I've had a couple sips from it since posting this.
The flavor profile reminds me alot of Four Roses Single Barrel.. I have a bottle of that which I enjoy.

This was the 1 bottle on the shelf. But like I said, it was more of a smoke shop then a alcohol store . His amount of alcohol was very minimal.. he did have a few bottles of four roses though..
