SeaninSD Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 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.It's $99+ plus around here. :bigeyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c2walker Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 It's $99+ plus around here. :bigeyes:I probably should have mentioned that as you get further away from the fall release the prices of the bottles you still see on shelves tend to be higher. Handy is the one BTAC member that you can find on the internet fairly easily though...so it might be worth a little research if you're ever in the market. (Directed at Sean) Also, I'm originally from San Diego and have friends that have had luck finding BTAC at good prices at a few stores scattered across SoCal. PM me before the next releases and I'll fill you in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A nice surprise, but I've already bought my share this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c2walker Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Even with a tax refund on its way I had to pass up a lot of stuff :cry:PHC Golden Ann., PHC 27, Jefferson's 17, ER 17 from 2005, Vintage Rye 23, Ritt 21 and 25, and about 6 releases of OFBB.There's still time for you to convince me I made a huge mistake though!

hectic1 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Passed up some Pappy 23 @219, Pappy 20 @104, PHC releases 2-5, and some WTAS @ 80...good finds at decent prices but I have to continue the store bourbon buying freeze! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure I would have picked up the Pappy 20 and PHC 10 at the very least. Although I certainly understand a buying freeze. I've set and broken many freezes and limits to my bourbon and beer budget. I'm treading close to a woman-enforced involuntary freeze if I don't getting the buying under control!

Special Reserve Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 PHC releases 2-5Does that include PHC 10 Wheated? I'd buy all that I see at that price.I knew a store that had 6 of them, unfortunately I was only smart enough to buy 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But sadly, that hasn't happened yet. And I've been to alot of liquor stores:smiley_acbt: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master_Photog Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Not only did I pass on them, I actually picked them up and headed to the cash register!! However, I got buyers remorse PRIOR to the purchase and when I got to the end of the aisle, I did a u turn and put them back. I wanted to hear from the forum what they prefer of the two or if you all would've put them back too??BTAC - $85 eachWilliam Larue WellerGeorge T.

atfree Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I passed up Black Maple Hill 23yr Rye, batch #1. They had 6-7 bottles at $140, and I just couldn't pull the trigger without knowing whether or not I'm a big rye fan.Also passed up some cheaper bottles of Johnny Drum Private Stock, Michter's Rye and American Whiskey, and some good deals on Booker's and Basil Hayden's.

The location has been jotted down and will be revisited as soon the freeze is over. I just had to prove to myself that I still had the willpower.
