p_elliott Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 yes, I'm a guy, and yes I date a few different women (gasp) - some of whom enjoy drinking whiskey with me and as such are constantly on the lookout for my favorites whenever they're running their own errands. as it happens - I'm 39 and look more like I'm between 29 and 19, plus I snowboard and longboard and rockclimb and mountainbike, which tends to help out with the girls even more now that I'm older and wiser. while it may sound like I'm trying to impress, I'm not... truthfully I'd trade them all for the love of one I'd want to spend my life with - but until I meet one like that I'll keep dating the lot of them and having tons of fun. woe is me, I know. btw - if we ever meet you'll find that I'm not the arrogant sort, nor do I think I'm some super cool whatever... I'm just me, doing my thing, and didn't think anything of what I wrote until the related comments. sorry for the thread drift. -D Don't feel bad I didn't find the ONE until late in life when we got married I was 46 she was 31 after 2 1/2 years so far so good. Good luck finding the ONE but it's kinda like bourbon the funs in the search. The final reward is in the end result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyboy38 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Back to the topic...Local liquor store said they may get Pappy 15 in soon but didn't know how much it would be. We'll see if it shows up or it's just another liquor store guy who think he can order anything he wants and it will show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefnash51 Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 ok the calls from several places are coming in. Looks like Pappy has hit the shelves again, but in much smaller quantities then last. and the price has jumped in CT from last fall release. . . :smiley_acbt: PVW 15 was $59... now $70ORVW 10/107 ... was $29 .. now $38+Lot B is still around $52 ishI called my stores back that were kind enough to hold some for me before even asking, and told them I will pass for now. I have enough bunkered and I am enjoying finding much cheaper but delicous whiskey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 That's in line with the prices here now. My usual haunt had plenty of Lot B and Pappy 15 last time I checked, but someone(s) cleared out the entire supply of ORVW 10/107 in the span of 3 days.:skep: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefnash51 Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 yeah.. i figured that these prices are prob in line with other places. but with what i have on hand, I figured I would pass.. though one more Lot B might find its way home with me today.Last night I decided to pin Lot B against PVW 15. I have been REALLY enjoying Lot Bs profile as of late and hadn't had a taste of PVW 15 in awhile.I have to say. Altough different profiles all together.. judging on enjoyment factor compared to price... I couldn't justify the extra $20 for another PVW 15.

Klepackage Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 PVW 15 was $59... now $70ORVW 10/107 ... was $29 .. now $38+Lot B is still around $52 ishThose prices are ridiculous. The CO prices I've seen are PVW 15 ~$55 (this varies the most)ORVW 10/107 $33 ($27 for the 10/90)Lot B ~$45 (almost always $10 cheaper than the PVW 15)I was lucky though, 4 of my PVW 15 was priced as ORVW 10/107, so $33 a bottle and my last 6 ORVW 10/107 were priced as the 10/90 so, $27 a bottle. Spending $294 on VW whiskey instead of $410 is awesome.Winkles on hand:7 ORVW 10/1075 PVW 154 1/2 Lot B1 PVW 20I'm currently at 9 ORVW 10/107 (one open)4 ORVW 10/90 (one open)5 PVW 15 (one open)2 Lot B (one open)1 PVW 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyboy38 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Met someone who works for the distibutor at Whiskyfest and he said there has been some released in Chicago.I was able to find a bottle and opened it up Sunday at a family party. Nice!What I found interesting was that it appeared to be bottled about 11/1/08. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefnash51 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I think that's part of what erks me.. I am pretty sure this release is the exact same juice from the last release in fall 08. I just don't understand the hike in price. not good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docbible Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 The spring release prices here are;ORVW 90 31.99ORVW 107 36.99LOT B 46.99PAPPY 15 61.99PAPPY 20 101.99PAPPY 23 230-249.99 The 20 AND 23 are still on the shelf but the others are sold out. Any increase here is minimal and well worth it for a great bourbon. tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OscarV Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I actually don't think I would pull the trigger on any of those at those prices. The ORVW 90 is particularly over priced at 31.99.Lot B at 46.99?, here in MI state min is 54.95 and most places have it well above 60.00.I'll take a case at 46.99.

docbible Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I wish there was still a case here to be had. Seven stores and 3 hours later only 3 lot B's found. Hope you have better luck. tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p_elliott Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I got a lot B could find a a 15 so I settled for a 20. Judging from what others have said on here the 15 is better than the 20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShewDawg Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Depends on the store. One store in Rahway really jacked up their prices, but it's been hit/miss on that in Union County NJ. Here is what I am generally seeing:ORVW 107 Low 30sLOT B mid 40sPAPPY 15 low 50sPAPPY 20 100PAPPY 23 200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpt Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 The place that I work in Ft Worth just got some in today. A full case each of 12, 15 and 20 but only a few bottles each of FRR and 10yr 107. Since this stuff comes in so randomly I wonder if this is part of the "spring release" or just some stuff that the dist found sitting around somewhere. There are only a couple of other places in the area that usually get this so I'll have to find out if they have received any or if ours was just a fluke.

JMac72 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I love the Van Winkle line and have been trying to get some VW 15. The only place I have found it is an online liquor store in San Francisco for about $75. I tried it in the Bellagio in Vegas for $8 an ounce....it was worth it.

silverfish Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Gordon's has it on-line for $36.00. They're located in MA. Check the list of states on their "no ship" list before you get your hopes up.Check: tinyurl.com/dhnexz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jburlowski Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I tried it in the Bellagio in Vegas for $8 an ounce....it was worth it.They wanted $26 for a (admittedly healthy) pour at Wynn's Encore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMac72 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Should have just put some money in one of the machines at the bar and played for a minute, then it would have been free. I put $20 in, had a pour of VWFRR, got another then cashed out right away (I don't know how to play poker and none of them have blackjack so I just played slow on the smallest bets possible, the drinks were still cheaper than regular brands at a regular bar.) and went to a slot machine with the second drink. I think the PVW20 is the only thing that they won't comp there.I tried that the Empress or New York New York (can't remember which one)...all I got was the house hootch...I had to buy premium brand...

hectic1 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Here in Chicago Pappy goes for:Pappy 15yr $49.95Pappy 20yr $99.95Pappy 23yr $219.95I'm thinking about picking up a Pappy 20yr to put in the bunker. I'm a novice bourbon drinker but I've been practicing a bit of late. I've mostly been drinking Elmer T. Lee and Four Roses Small Batch...my palet isn't developed enough yet to appreciate the Pappy 20yr but it's bottle that I want to have for a later date.:grin: The rep at the store suggested Eagle Rare 17 year...I have the 10 year here but I haven't opened it yet...he said the 17 year is far superior to the 10 year...17 year goes for $64.95...thoughts?
