    This is yet another product that will only be seen in museums with the price jacked way up. If I get lucky and stumble upon it for a good price, I won't argue with good fortune, but I won't expend a lot of effort or excessive amounts of money for anything. Hopefully stocks of the older expressions of Jack Daniel's will increase with each annual release and they will be easier to get in the future. Until then, I'll find other things to drink.
