Buying IB’s

So I am really getting into independent bottlers like Cadenheads, Signatory, Adelphi, etc. But how do you know what you are buying? Some shops near me have some open bottles but a lot of times there are so few bottles produced that I have no way of trying before buying. Are you guys just buying them with the information on the label/good experiences with previous bottles from the distillery/bottler?

Been watching WhiskyBothys reviews on signatory and G&M Mortlach and the way he breaks it down makes me want to try it. I’m about to start acquiring G&M bottles with regularity since these expressions will likely be the last of their kind. Rather buy for a reasonable amount then get scalped in secondary market once their no longer sold

Once I get back home Ill drop a post with the current bottles I have from them, and will ask recommendations on what to purchase next based off what the sub thinks!
