SeaninSD Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Passed up two bottles of the BT single oak, #104 and #72; at $55 it seemed like a lot for a 375 ml bottle that I may or may not like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there are moments where I'm tempted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkater1 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Passed on a WSR 7 year bottle that was shaped like an ORVW 10/107 bottle, was this an older bottle design? Haven't seen one like that before.Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's Louisville, don't hesitate. Either way it's good stuff and the bottle will look great on your shelf. :grin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarrelChar Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Col. E.H. Taylor Sour Mash at below MSRP. Sure, it's rare and collectible, but I just can't convince myself to plunk down for a bottle with such mixed reviews, esp. I'm on the list for the Tornado batch.Mistake?

taylor714 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Passed on some 2011 batc Handy, eagle, and sazerac. Passed on Hirsch 25 year old. Not that I would buy it at 300 bucks. Passed on some 01 Evan Williams single barrels, but I think I'll return to get one or 2 at 28 a piece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clavius Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Passed up the new EH Taylor release (Warehouse C). I think the store I was at just wants too much for it. Probably why there are still several bottles sitting there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coltcannon Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 EH Taylor Single Barrel, High West OMG and Bourye and some 01 EWSB. Actually only noticed the Taylor was the single barrel today. Also the first time I've seen the OMG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradleyC Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I passed on a handful of Willett 18 Year priced at $171.99. I have liked the Willett's that I have had in the past.....but not that much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clavius Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Maybe I'm wrong, but I swear I only paid like $55-59 for the EH Taylor Single Barrel. So $67.99, to me, seems high. Especially when PVW15 and VW12 are cheaper... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylor714 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I passed on some old school looking basil haydens with silver foil on the top, and some heaven hill number 1 blended bourbon that looked to be from the 90s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awachatz Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Passed on a Woodford Reserve Master's Collection Seasoned Oak for $90. Never tried it, I am going to do a little more investigating before deciding whether or not to go back for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Reserve Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I passed on a PVW15 at $259.99. The same store had a VWSR Lot B for $119.99.On my way out the door the owner asked me what I wanted to buy. I told him nothing that he wanted to sell.

Time to adjust the absurdity scale again. At this point, I'm just waiting to see it for $400 so I can snap a pic and make it my profile icon.Passed on a 1.75L dusty of Louisville Old Charter 10 (86 proof) for $40 too.
