What Did You Pass Up Today? Winter/Spring 2012

[fishnbowljoe]

Couldn't agree more. Where are people finding all the BTAC? I know there was some Van Winkle released in the past month...but I haven't heard anything about a recent release of BTAC?

There was a recent spring release of the Van Winkle bottlings. It probably has arrived in most areas by now. Any BTAC found on shelves at this point is from last years fall release, or earlier releases. If bottles from last falls (or other) BTAC release have recently appeared in stores, it is probably due to a distributor sitting on them, or stuff being "lost" in their warehouse. It has been known to happen. :skep: FWIW, some distributors here, and elsewhere I assume, sit on product sometimes. They wait and see what happens, then they'll dole a few more bottles out if and when they can. That is if they don't forget about them. :shithappens: They also hold some stores hostage. The small individually owned stores are a bit more at the mercy of the distributors and sales people. Larger chain stores don't seem to suffer with this problem as much. This problem, especially with BT, has become more apparent recently. A few months ago, Sazerac "let go" a number of sales people who had been with them a long time, and hired new sales reps. Sad to say, but things just ain't been the same since.

PVW20 for $160. Almost double the Fall price.

This thread is torture at times.

Woodford rye. Very high price. I'm having second thoughts. Should I go back for it?

[c2walker]

I know. I have to beg, borrow, steal, to get 1 MAYBE 2 bottles of any VW per-allocation. And I'm not just home sitting on my butt, I'm really hunting..:smiley_acbt:

WTAS for $150, is it worth it? I really like the WTKS I have from '01, but the AS would have to be some next level juice for me to pony that kind of dough.

Passed on:

Pappy 23 for $350 :bigeyes:

ER17 for $80

5x THH for $80

Different store had Jefferson Pres 18 for $70 and THH for $63. I will be giving them my business from now on.

I paid 85 and 30 for my two bottles and I feel that their value falls somewhere between. You're probably paying the scarcity price now.

THH for $75. Interested in trying it, but still can't bring myself to pull the trigger.

Passed on WT Tradition, PHC Wheated and WR Sweet Mash, haven't had any and am debating going back for 1 or more, any feedback would be appreciated.

Buy the PHC wheated. It ranks right up there with the great wheated bourbons.

Passing on the WT Tradition and WR Sweet Mash is OK but passing on the PHC 10 is just plan wrong unless it is ridiculously priced. At $80 to $90 it would be in my bag and I have some in the bunker.

What he said. :grin: Get the PHC and enjoy. Joe

Strolling through Gatlinburg for quick stop, found 2 WTAS one at $99 and one at $119. Passed on both. Also found PHC Wheated at $89. Tried to talk clerk lower on the PHC but no luck. Good thing I have two in reserves. If time and family allows I may go back and try to work out a deal for both the WTAS and PHC.

That is an inflated price for WTAS they should go for around $99 or less.

Had a moment with the Jefferson 18 (Batch 10) in my hand. It's $71 for one, $65 if you buy two. Ended up putting it back on the shelf. Given the mixed reviews of this whiskey, I'll wait to split a bottle with someone else.

Also passed on Handy for $62, Taylor Tornado for $63, Four Roses SB LE 2011 for $80, and 2011 Eagle Rare 17 for $80.

Passed on a Four Roses Mariage 2008. Almost pulled the trigger, but I'll have to save it for next time.

Saw my first Pappy in the wild, passed on them all

Lot B: $75

20: $200

I want to try it, but I don't want to get ripped off. Did find some other good stuff, which I'll post in the other thread.

Jack that's great. Have you ever tried any of it? I would be curious to see if it's ungodly sweet!
