What Did You Pass Up Today? Fall 2010-Winter/Spring 2011

Redemption High-Rye Bourbon. It was cheap enough, but I haven't heard anything about it yet.

[Special Reserve]

Went into a store near my office that I've never bothered to visit. Small place with an OK bourbon selection. Nothing really caught my eye until I looked up on the top shelf where there were two bottles of Parker's Heritage Collection first edition. Looked at the proof - 129.6. I've had some before and preferred the first of the three releases. At $80, pass.

FYI, those are great.

Passed on PVW 23 at $177.99. Have one half empty at home and honestly it's not worth the extra $75 over the PVW 20.

FYI, those are great.

I second that! Excellent juice.

Passed on the Knob Creek SB. I was very excited to see it sitting on the shelf at my local store until I noticed the price: $48.99 Considering the regular KC is $25.99 at the Sam's club just down the road I passed. I thought it was going to retail at about $40 and I would have paid that without hesitation. I just have a hard time imagining this to be in the Lot B or Blanton's echelon which is the same price. Hoprfully I can find it cheaper soon as I really do want to try it.

That's quite a price increase over the regular expression, we will see whether it sells well enough to stay in that range.

I picked up the KCSB for $39.00 and change. It's decent, but it isn't really any better than the regular expression. Other than being 120 proof, it really isn't very special. Just my .02.

[squire]

Cinnamon Red Hot whiskey, a Sazarac product that is labeled Made in Canada.

Passed on W.L.Weller and got Knob Creek SB.

I saw a Buff Trace Experimental "lost barrels" bottle today that I did not get. Too many other bottles on the list. If its still there tomorrow and someone really wants it, I would be willing to work out a trade
