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

[Jwilly019]

Passed up a 2007 ER17, 3 bottles of PVW 23, a few bottles of THH, another WTAS, a bottle of Ritt 21, as well as a couple of WT decanters from the 80s.

I did pick up a PVW 20 and an '06 WTKS dark top, among a few others though.

Saw a bottle of Hirsch 25yr. priced at $172. Thought it was a mistake.

What's the provenance of this bourbon?

Willett Single Barrel and Catoctin Rye Whiskey, both for $39. Anyone had either? Was especially interested in the Catoctin from Virginia, but it looked a bit light in color, and I've not read any reviews on it.

I passed on what seems to be the new Sam Houston.

The bottle looks similar to the EH Taylor bottle and also comes in a canister. It did not have an age statement on it and has a blue label.

BTEC "lost barrels" 1993. I'd love to try an "Old Charter 17", but the store's mark-up over an already high price (for 375ml) turned me off. That and the fact that it's not barrel strength.

Was out and about Sunday with my wife. Stopped at a flea market for something different to do. Passed on a half dozen old Beam decanters. Full. I think I could have talked the guy down on 3 or 4 of them. He was asking $28-$38 for them. The ones I was really interested in were a couple of the old car decanters. One was a Deusenberg and the other I'm not sure. They had a higher price tag, ($45) and I was told the owner was firm on that. Oh well, I know where they are. Besides, I may take delivery of another Beam fishing decanter tomorrow. Joe

Passed on Whistlepig and JD Silver Select while in NYC. Maybe one day I can try both.

PVW - 15 @ 95.99 - Damn!

That's a $40+ difference between the lowest and hightest prices I have seen in MD for the spring release. The same store was selling PVW 20 for 96.99 just a few months ago.

I just got 2 PVW15 for $44.99. That is the lowest I've ever seen them anywhere and the previous lowest I paid was $49.99. My friend in San Fran just told me he picked up 2 bottles for $90 each. I thought that was insane but he doesn't like his chances of finding any more around SF for less than that if he can even find it at all, so he grabbed them. Glad I don't have to do my bourbon shopping up there.
