shoshani Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 No not another distillery, it is the same distillery but it has changed ownership hands and name changes over the years and decades and going back to other centuries actually. Wikipedia has a somewhat incomplete history, but states that distilling on that site started in 1773 and dates the oldest standing building on the BT site to 1792. The article says that the actual distillery we know today was built by Harrison Blanton in 1812. Where these facts come from is anyone's guess; Mike Veach may have enough information to clear up any guesses. He usually does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwrussell Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Maybe "antique" refers to the prices that we have to charge for them? My gosh, I've already been tipped off by my supplier that the prices he's expecting to have to charge me this year are WAY up from last year, not that I'm terribly surprised, but still.That's not welcome news, though unsurprising to some extent. If you are coorect and the prices are "WAY up", I won't be purchasing nearly as much this year. Damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marco246 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I bought a bottle of George T Stagg last week in Jackson, MS, for $51. I thought it was the new release, but it is 144.8 proof, so I guess not. Oh well. . . . i'll just have to play catch-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDC20 Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Looks like these will come out in the $60-62 range this year, ouch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rake Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Looks like these will come out in the $60-62 range this year, ouch!They were already $60 here last year. If there's a major price hike, I'll have to go to eating generic oatmeal twice a day to afford my Thomas H. Handy habit.Which is worth it, but still.

jwrussell Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Crap. That means I'm probably looking at the $70's here. That's just not right. Will have to shop around this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasH Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 When I was on vacation in Florida in July, I saw ER17 stray from 07 for 53.99 at an ABC liquor store in St. Petersburg. Last year I also saw 3 bottles of Stagg at a store near St. Pete Beach. I think these ran around 59.00!Thonas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I paid right around that for my Stagg last year from the shop just down from work (same business park). But I got her to bring it in specifically for me and I didn't have to go searching for it so I was willing to pay a little more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gothbat Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 As per the review and the comments, it looks like the price went up. :[ He says he was "told $65" but doesn't specify who told him this, I'm assuming someone from BT but for all I know... Last year the highest I saw these bottles for was $60 (in a store anyway...), how much did those who already got some of this years pay? Just wondering.

callmeox Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 BTAC ranges from 59 and change to 61 each in Ohio depending on the local tax rate, though the entire allocation is already spoken for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
