What Did You Pass Up Today? Winter '12/'13

[KySalesRep]

I could see a store in NY asking that price, but Kentucky?

Yep, about 10 miles outside of Lexington. Last December I also saw a 10yr Old Rip 107pr that was priced at $69.99 (different store). I guess even us local folk are not immune to crazy pricing.

Yeah, but folks in Kentucky know their Bourbon, at least the one's I've met.

petre, what was the price on that Chestnut Farms?

47.99 if I recall

Forgot to add, is that the Sazerac version? I believe there may be another out there with a similar brand name from a different company.

I passed on a PVW 23yr today. They were asking $500, so it was very easy to say no! The girl said they have had it since early November and several people have asked about it. She said so far, everybody has said that's way too high a price and walked out. Good for them!

Same price I saw it at here, and a similar story. Although, I think these bottles had been sitting for a year or more at that price. As soon as I posted it here they were gone. Crazy prices indeed.

Back on topic - I passed up Elijah Craig 12 yr, again. The price is right but it's right next to ETL and I always end up with that.

I passed on a Very Very Old Fitzgerald, the guy wanted a grand for it, I offered 950 bucks, we couldn't agree on a price so I passed hence the the thread title.

That's a joke Oscar, right? Not familiar with that bourbon, but I hope you are joking.

Can I cover the final $50 in exchange for getting a couple pours? ha!

Not a bad request my brother.
