I was in my local store today buying a bottle of Weller 12 before "Snowmegeddon 2012" hit.:rolleyes: As I made my way to the register I spotted a small special order area. On the shelf was a bottle of High West Rocky Mountain 21 year old rye for the princely sum of $146.35.:shocked: I didn't even pick it up.
This is a long list today:
Michters 10 - I have had interest but $89 scared me away when I didn't know much about it.
Col EH Taylor SB - $89
4x Handy 2011 - I might actually go back for this one. It was $75 so not crazy had a BS discussion with Store owner and distributor about Ritt so left without it.
EWSB '98 & '99
Not that this will be of much interest here but another store owner was working a Hirsch 20 Canadian Rye hard. I know nothing about Hirsch Canadian Rye but it look a little thin and light. It might be great but I couldn't justify buying and know squat about it.

ORVW 10/90...as long as Weller 12 is available, why pay more?
Michter's Single Barrel Bourbon 104 - $359 ?!? - I didn't even want to stare at the bottle too hard.
Passed on a 2009 Saz 18, it was at state min, but couldn't pull the trigger, kind of kicking myself for it now, I got a PVW Lot B instead....
Was in a store I have not visited before in MN, I picked up Saz 18 but passed on:
ER17
Handy ('10 and '11)
All the expensive High West stuff
Ritt 21,23,25
Pappy 20
Pappy 23
Weller 12 (never seen before in MN, but it was $34.99)
BMH 16
FR LE SB 2011
FR Mariage '10 and '11
They had a lot of good stuff, but only because it was 15% more expensive than at most stores so it probably sits on the shelf a bit longer. However, it was nice to see that some of those bottles actually do exist.
I think I must have got lucky on this HW21 rye, our local had it at $79, so I took two home. :grin:Quote:

Passed up a couple of PHC Cognac finished. Plus 10% of the Small Batch Collection-- although I would almost consider BH at under $30, if only to experiment with vatting it with OGD114.
Ran across a OGD114 but didnt get it today. Is this still distributed in MN or not? Can always go back and get it as its pretty close to me too.Quote:
