Ejmharris Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I stopped at a random place on my lunch just now and they had a bottle of WL Weller Centennial, it was priced at $57, do I need to run back or is it priced too high?Sent from my PG86100 using TapatalkI would buy it at that price. I am not sure what original retail was buy it probably was around that. It is no longer available so go back and get it.

clingman71 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Yeah they are...but it is getting bottled somewhere around 6-7 years at 107 proof! If things keep going the way they are going, it's going to eventually get bottled at 3-4 years and 80 proof. And oh yeah, it will get back up to $30-40 or more by that time.Exactly why a stocking up of said bourbon has taken over my bourbon budget.

Tico Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Passed up a bunch of ORVW 10 & 10/107. Shelves are overflowing with this stuff, I already grabbed a few for the bunker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onewman Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Passed up a bottle of Balcones Baby Blue Corn Whisky. Looked interesting but seemed like too much of a stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tico Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Where might this be?Northern Cali.All the BTAC and most of the van winkle stuff has been picked through but this stuff still remains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkater1 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Some wild turkey and jim beam decanters from the early 80's, they were all $150 & a Distillers Masterpiece 18 year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awachatz Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Passed on a PVW23 for $250. Not worth it imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were at the store I'm thinking of, the owner has tacked on an additional $20 recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bad_scientist Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 My favorite store restocked the BTAC, except for the Saz 18, and I passed on everything because I only want what I can't have... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I want what I can't have too.Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarrelChar Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Dusties of Wild Turkey American Spirit abound for $80. Always flirt with them but never pony up. Maybe somebody here can make the case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bourboncc Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Van Winkle Special Reserve 12 Year for $60. Should I go back? They had a few bottles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarrelChar Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I've passed up Lot B for $60. I'd rather overpay for ORVW 107 ($45) or PVW15 ($75), PVW20 ($110) or VWFRR ($75).Others here will protest wildly, but Lot B is my least favorite in an otherwise exceptional range. Check out these tasting notes from LAWS--and remember, Adam and Sku both rate the 15, 20, and rye very highly.: http://www.lawhiskeysociety.com/whiskey-profile/821/Van-Winkle-Special-Reserve-12-Lot-BI'd say try it at a bar tonight; a glass should be somewhere between $10-15. If you like it, go for it. If not, you've saved $45+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailor22 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Dusties of Wild Turkey American Spirit abound for $80. Always flirt with them but never pony up. Maybe somebody here can make the case?A fifteen year BiB is a strong argument in and of itself.If your tastes run to complex whiskey's with a dryish finish you will probably feel like it was money very well spent. If you prefer big sweet mouth coating Bourbon with a finish that hangs on forever you might feel like you paid too much.Unless you buy a bottle you won't be sure about it.If there are a few offer them $70 a bottle and send one to a SBer in Tallahassee:grin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Reserve Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I like Lot B. I bought one yesterday for $55, the state price. I know where some are for $70 but I'm not going to bite as I have some in the bunker.It is a very enjoyable morning bourbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c2walker Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 What's a good price for Handy? I see it for $80.I've seen Handy as low as $60, but usually it's between $70-75...$80 is slightly higher than average, but, like the rest of BTAC, you often see it much higher than that.
