Okay, so I’ve been getting into bourbon lately, and I heard about these Kentucky bourbon auctions. I thought, “Why not give it a shot?” I mean, I love a good deal, and who doesn’t want to snag a rare bottle of bourbon?
First things first, I started digging around online. I needed to find out where these auctions even happen. Turns out, there are a few different places, some online and some in person. I’m not really close to Kentucky, so the online ones seemed like my best bet.
I found a couple of websites that looked promising, and signed up for their email lists. Gotta stay in the loop, you know? They started sending me notifications about upcoming auctions, and that’s when the real fun began.
I spent some time browsing the auction catalogs. Man, some of those bottles… Seriously impressive stuff. And the prices? Well, let’s just say they can get pretty high. But that’s part of the excitement, right? The thrill of the hunt!
I picked out a few bottles that I was interested in and set a budget for myself. This is important, folks. It’s easy to get carried away in the heat of the moment. Trust me, I almost did! A maximum bid helps prevent over spending.
Then came the actual auction. It’s kind of like eBay, but with way more pressure. You’re watching the clock tick down, other people are bidding, and you’re trying to decide if you should up your bid or let it go. It’s intense!
- Placed my bids carefully, I did not over bid, and also was not too cheap.
- Watched the timer tick down, oh the suspence!
- Won some, lost some. Thats just how it goes.
I ended up winning a couple of bottles that I’m really excited about! One was a limited edition that I’d been eyeing for a while. I was so excited to finally have it, that I almost celebrated too early.
Paying was easy enough. The website had clear instructions, and I used my regular credit card. No problems there.
And now, I’m just waiting for my bourbon to arrive. I’m already planning a little tasting party with some friends. Can’t wait to crack those bottles open and see what they’re all about!
Overall Summary
This whole Kentucky bourbon auction thing was a blast. I’m definitely going to do it again. It’s a fun way to find some unique bourbons, and the excitement of the auction itself is pretty addictive. Just remember to set a budget, and don’t get too caught up in the bidding frenzy!
