Yeah, I've been waiting for some sort of "closeout" pricing on the ri(1) since I haven't seen any bottles of this move around here -- the shelves are always full of it. For $40, this is a "no way" item . . . at $25, I might keep it in periodic circulation . . . For $20, I'd probably bunker a couple.
I'd give it a try for 25 dollars. But I wouldn't be surprised if I never bought another bottle.
It certainly wasn't worth the $43.45 out the door I had to pay here in PA (on sale too!). Since the PLCB is either too greedy, stupid or plain doesn't GAS I doubt we'll see any price drop. When Maker's Mark lowered their price it had no effect here in PA.
$20 is a darn good deal if you ask me. I saw a bottle or (ri)1 today for $52!!!!

It's the same in Georgia.Quote:

I don't know that I'd buy it even at $26; the bottle wouldn't coordinate with the rest of my collection.
Agreed....in fact, I'll take it down another notch...not sure I would even buy it at $16. That being said, I've never seen it under $40 in my traveling and forays.Quote:

I wonder if the death knell is ringing in this distance for this label? Sounds like it is in a bit of trouble from all I read here and retailers with whom I've spoken. With the backing of the ginormous Beam though, may be a bit premature on my part to ask such a question.
Maybe they could add cherry syrup to it and call it (réd rī)¹ :lol:Quote:
