What did you pass up today? Autumn '12

You have cash left over Chris?!

I'm hoping Santa brings me some money!

I have a feeling you're about to close the thread and very few will read this.... Anyway, passed on a dusty row of about six bottles of Ezra B. SB. 99 proof 12yr. for $32ish. I'm broke and these bottles have been sitting in this store for a few years, I figured they'll still be there in 2013.

I passed on this as well, although I was able to taste it first. I hesitantly bought it on vacation here in FL when I could find no FR1B, and the clerk muttered out of the corner of his mouth that I could return it if I didn't like it. It tasted like unremarkable EC12 with any trace of personality removed. And it was $38.99. I returned it the next day for FRYL, my first one. A GREAT bargain at $17.99!

I think it's safe to say that when you buy a LuxCo product, at least a good 35%-50% of the cost is going to the label.

We won't close this thread until someone opens a new one.

The Ezra B is a nice bottle for that price. I hope you can snag one or two.

I passed on WhistlePig 111 that would have been $190 out the door.

Passed on more GTS at $169.99. One of the store owners indicated the best he could do is a 10% discount If I bought four.

Passed on the 19yr and 23yr BTEC Large French Oak bottles for $58 each... I know they'll be there when I go back...might have to get myself one last Xmas gift... but I have my on a special bottle of scotch too

Buy four? I'd have told him I have to pass because I'm the only sucker I know and would be hard pressed to round up three more.

Went to buy a port at local shop in Encinitas and they had some LotB on the shelf (didn't bother asking the price as their bourbons are crazy priced. Rittenhouse 100 Rye is $39. I asked them how much they ended up selling the Pappy 20 and they told me $500. I just smiled and wondered if I overpaid for my Colheita, which I did...

I always want to support local but when they charge crazy prices, I'd rather support Costco

Passed on the Woodford Masters Collection Four Wood yesterday at $46...two bottles but still couldnt pull the trigger at that price after reading all the negative reviews...
