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

[AaronWF]

Stopped by a store in Michigan while here visiting in-laws. They had 6 bottles of PHC Golden Anniversary priced at $174.99. I asked if they would take they state minimum of $149.99 if I bought two. The lady behind the counter angrily replied, "We don't do state minimum pricing. We have to feed our children somehow!". I replied that I guess they would have to eat Ramen noodles tonight because I wasn't buying it at that price and I left them all sitting there.

HA! I passed up a Golden Ann for $209.99 and a 27 Year for $269.00! The clerk told a story about some schmoe on the phone trying to talk down the price of some $300 bottle of scotch to another clerk right when I walked in, so while browsing I asked him if he'd lower the price on the PHC's as a joke. At the end of the day, I know he's not the owner so I wasn't expecting anything, but I wish them the best in selling those bottles at those prices.

I passed up a Vintage 21 Rye. Couldn't pull the trigger on $70 right after Christmas.

I have never had the chance to be able to buy that, wish I was at least in your position to hopefully try it once. Argh.

Was this in Ohio?

Passed up some Michter's 10 year eye at $130 and WTAS at $109 in CA.

Wish I could find more of that Michter's and Vintage 21 year ryes, probably my favorites for their original ~$70 price.

Did find a Vintage for $85, I knew it was a little over priced but I pulled the trigger anyway. When am I going to find it again?

Same place passed up a Stagg for $199.

My question as well for the Vintage Rye and VWFRR. Not looking for your source just wondering as I didn't think Ohio carried either per state limitations.

No on either. Although, for the first time that I've ever seen, Ohio had a small allocation of PVW15 in the fall.

Took my second pass in as many days but I may be kicking myself on this one. Passed on BMH 23 year old rye @ $128.99. Didn't have time to investigate if that was a reasonable price or to check on reviews of it. Also, I'm making a trip to Chicago the middle of this week and that means BINNY'S! Didn't want to spend my allotted budget too soon. Anybody have thoughts on that BMH 23 rye? I can stop back by there and pick it up on the way home from Chicago.

Passed up everything I saw: a 2011 GTS for $100, Vintage 17 for $65, an 18 year old Willett for $140, Ritt 21 for $170, 2009 ER17 and THH without price tags, 2011 THH for $65.

I think the Vintage was the best deal.

I love this one. And it's impossible to find because it's not being released anymore. I've seen it go for a lot higher just because of it's rarity. If I saw it at that price, I'd pick up all they had.
