Wow, some mid-level bottles for a raffle, it's really getting bad.

I've got the Blood Oath 5, it's good, not great. MWND is phenomenal, every act that I've had would be worth snagging. I'm about 1 for 10 on Michter's 10, can't find one I actually enjoyed (just flavorless...). And Stagg has been getting better the last 3-4 releases, but still not worth more than MSRP. No raffles at my shop, luckily. I think I'm one of the top 5 customers for my guy, so I've got a good shot at getting anything he can get his hands on. The problem for my area is the distribution within the state, where 90% of anything good goes to the casinos and bars in Vegas, then Casinos and bars in Reno (my area).
