What Did You Pass Up Today? Winter/Spring 2012

[hectic1]

I passed up a couple more things today...

JRPS 17yr Batch 2 @71.99
WTKS Dark Brown Top @39.99

I thought about the JRPS's but I ended up getting the Michter's 10yr SB's instead!

Been looking to land a JRPS 17. Love to know where you came across it as I think we are in the same area.

The 2009 Mariage's seem to be like rabbits. Like many have similarly reported previously, I noticed (but, passed) several at a store I frequent.

I'm going to try the 09 Mariage this weekend... I may have to PM some nice folk around here.

WTF? That price is 3x what the eBay flippers/ripoff artists are charging! You should post the name of that store so members know who not to give business to.

It was Total Wine in Reno. Everything else was reasonably priced, so I don't know what was going on with the Hirsch.

Interesting, Total Wine usually has decent pricing. However, I am not sure how they price the rarer stuff like Pappy and BTAC. I am shocked to see anyone with that price on the Hirsch 16 gold foil and I bet it is still there a year from now - that said, one is born every minute.

Passed on an EH Tornado @ $70. May go back at some point, or reallocate those funds elsewhere.

That is a about right for the price. I have seen a little cheaper ($2-3) and a lot more expensive. IMHO it is worth it. The two bottles I have tasted have been superb. I have heard others were not as good. Some will disagree and say it is just hype. I very rarely buy bourbons at that price point, but I bought 6 of these.

In the ATL area, they run about $75 +tax for the Pappy 15 which is par for the course in most places. Don't know about the BTAC prices .
