Someone talk me out of this:

I have a line on a case of blantons barrel selects and a case of eagle rare barrel selects for $100/$50 per bottle. These prices are slightly elevated, and I don’t even like blantons, but I haven’t seen either on the shelf in years, much less barrel selects.

I feel obligated to buy them, if only to give out as Xmas presents. Yay or nay?

Ok, going with a case of ER and 4 blantons. My bourbon “collection” is nearing “we need to have a talk” status. I picked two barrels last year that finally arrived a month ago, and now this mess. I’m running out of ways to launder the money away from my wife’s attention.

Yeah 100%. That’s a good deal. Could always resell even just at a modest markup if you don’t end up gifting.

100%, dm if you want to split it lol

I’d say yes, if you plan on drinking or gifting. Not terrible prices for those. If you plan on reselling, probably no. Secondary pricing for picks is $130 ish for Blantons and $60ish for Eagle Rare. Seems like a lot of work for something near resale value.

like

@OP - then go for it. It’s not retail but it’s below secondary so it’s not terrible value. Those are around my personal price limits for those bottles. Regardless of what you think of Blantons (personally I enjoy it), it’s a good gift for someone that isn’t too deep into whiskey.

like

The ER is near secondary but the blantons is about $30-$50 below what I’ve seen. I’d consider the blantons and if you don’t end up gifting them you could 100% trade them.

Cavatappi in Roasted Red Pepper Cream Sauce

Tired of of the same old boring tomato marinara sauce? Try a roasted red pepper cream sauce!

Red bell peppers are roasted in the oven until sweet. It is then blended with caramelized onions, garlic, red pepper flakes, sun dried tomato paste, and cream into a silky, smooth and velvety sauce. Finish the sauce with a knob of butter and coat your pasta. Cavatappi works well here. Don’t forget to shave a little Pecorino Romano

I recently had an interview with BNY for an Analyst role located in DE. The interview went well and I was informed by the recruiter that the team was interested. They asked if I was willing to relocate immediately, and I told him that my decision would be best made if I see an offer. I have not yet received a follow up after this(coming on two weeks) so I know that I've been ghosted. My question is, was I wrong to ask to see the offer before making a decision?
