Pappy 15 meets your requirements. Any Bourbon drinker would be thrilled to have a bottle in their collection.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Got off the phone with World of Whiskey, apparently anything remotely collectable immediately gets put into a lottery and is sold within that day.
Brutal. They put a bottle of something for me on hold, apparently a limited supply, specific to their store, going to pick it up.
Not sure what it is, will post once I have it.
Sounds like a private selection and not that collectible.

This says it's collectible.

I'd honestly just pick up a few limited releases or even regular releases that rate highly and sit on them for 30 years.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
All of the shit that's super popular at the moment (Blanton's, Eagle Rare, Pappy, etc.) is unlikely to be as popular or as valuable in a decade. Get something like a Kentucky Spirit Warehouse E or some highly regarded single barrel recipes from Four Roses or even just take a gamble on some of the newer distillery releases and wait for a long time. Or, look into buying a cask. I don't know how it works in the US with Bourbons but I've participated in a cask purchases for Linkwood new make and it has supposedly increased in value by 40% already (sign of the boom times).
The whisky world is in boom times and I honestly don't see much expected return a decade from now on current secondary prices.
Edit: Sorry, just saw your original post that it was for a client. In that case, Pappy, George T. Stagg, EH Taylor Barrel Proof, etc. would probably be the most "trending".

Thanks for infoThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Apparently the Blantons is a collector edition. One per customer, convinced them to give 2. Haha
It's not a collectors edition. It's the regular edition and I hope you didn't pay too much. The Blanton's gold is a bit more rare but again not a collectors.
They said it was a special order only for their store, something to do with the boxing or something, who knows. Limited one per customer.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Liquor stores are really blurring what is limited and what isn't. Before we know it, Wellers Special Reserve will be a lottery item
Can't believe people pay premiums for some of this stuff. If anyone want Weller SR it's usually at liquor depot. Don't forget to pickup some coke for mix.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
This particular batch I bought is from a single barrel. It comes with a special bag and the number of the barrel it came from.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
They called it a COOP limited barrel batch. All the bottles came from a single barrel.
Ok so a private selection. The the number/dump date on the bottle is on all Blanton's bottles FYI. Anyways hopefully it's a good pick. If you get into one of them let us know.

While I enjoy variety my whiskey collection is relatively unpretentious. Several of them are bourbon, so relevant?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Your references to Pappy? I'm pretty sure you have to win a lottery for the honour to even purchase Pappy at highly inflated prices which you would then almost certainly sell off after for 5x-10x.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Its prices are certainly inflated off the charts, but do you really think it's so fickle that it won't be worth anything near that in a decade? I personally doubt it, but I am just a guy and don't really know or care. But it seems to me like the current Ferrari FXX and it's a tough call to say that won't be worth much in a decade.
