What did you pass up today? Autumn '12

[LostBottle]

Passed on a.......and a VWFRR @ $80.....

That was a mistake you may never get the chance to make again.

Fortunately there are plenty of other ways to get lots of good whiskey for that $80... ok decision either way, as long as it ends up with a new bottle or two, right?

No, you never leave a VW rye, even for $80. That was a mistake, go back and get it!

Yes, there are many good whiskeys to be had for $80. Taste is subjective and some people don't care for ryes that much. Last year I left a few bottles of WLW on the shelf at $70-$75 - a move many SBers would have backhanded me for. That said, I would trade vital organs for VWFRR!

Consult your physician. Passing on VWFRR under any circumstances means there might be something wrong with you requiring immediate medical attention.

All snarking aside, if I saw VWFRR for $80 I'd still consider it a bargain. $250 for 20 year BT juice is crazy, though.

It wasn't a bad price, I bought 3 so far this year, that's the reason I passed.

Maybe, maybe not, got a total of 7 in the bunker so I'm set for awhile.

The money is going towards 2 bottles to be exact, and I think people will understand when I post what they are.

Saw Woodford Reserve Four Wood for $75 at Costco. Seen it elsewhere for $100.

Friend just texted me, asked if I wanted some Pappy he came across on his travels to Ashville, NC. $120 for a 12 year, $289 for a 20 year. I said thanks but no thanks . . . he passed as well.

Something isn't right here. NC ABC has set prices across the board and those aren't the prices.
