What if we pooled our funds for two tastings but spent only a tiny amount on the first one, saving the bulk of our bucks for a premium part-two?
WS#12 was the first, (very) cheap tasting, named 'All About the Tubmans' because, some day soon, abolitionist Harriet Tubman will finally grace the $20 bill, and $20 is more than enough to procure you one of these bottles. Thanks to Ellen and Reid for the cunning plan.
