Happyhour24x7 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 passed up a Hirsh and a 2011 4RLE; prices were just out of my budget at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petrel800 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Left 2 Handy Ryes on the shelf in favor of a 4 Roses 2009 Mariage. $69 a bottle. They've actually been there for awhile, so I'm not too broken up about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OscarV Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 (edited) I picked up a few bottles today but more importantly I passed on one.Elijah Craig 20yo, I looked at it a few times while in the store and the person working there said that there are only 35 bottles of it in MI.I knew it existed but I don't recall anyone commenting on the taste.It was priced at $199.99 plus 6% sales tax.When I got home I looked up the state minimum shelf price, it's $129.97 plus 6%.Glad I passed on it.If anyone out there has any reviews let me know, I might go back and try to get it at the minimum.(a later edit add-on)I just stumbled across this thread. I'm getting curious, I'd like to try it.http://www.straightbourbon.com/forums/showthread.php?16319-For-the-oak-fans-Elijah-Craig-20/page6 Edited August 2, 2012 by OscarV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MauiSon Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 (edited) Passed on VR23 for $68- I have one VB17 (wheater), VR21 & VR23 - should I have a back-up of this? High-end juice doesn't appear in my time zone very often and I have yet to try any of these (still developing my palate on bottom/mid shelf).

MauiSon Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Well, I won't manage a pour for many moons - these are 'special event' bottles on both the buy and consumption sides. I haven't even busted my rye cherry (got a bottle of OO waitin' in the wings, tho). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Blacksmith Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I passed up quite a bit last night, phc wheated, the full btac line, and a few more I can't remember this morning. I just can't pull the trigger, but the sazerac 18 was the hardest to pass up.I may have to change my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rutterb Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Passed up ER17 and a Yamazaki 18 yr (yeah I know it's not bourbon). The ER17 was $87 and the scotch was $145. That scotch is getting crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAINWRIGHT Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 THH 2011,PVW 20 and PVW 23 well stocked on all of these,but you always have to do a double take when walking by bottles of this caliber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyOldKyDram Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Not something I see around here, well, ever, but passed on 3 handles of OWA 107 w 7 yr age statement. Nothing old.No benefit here beyond a cooler label, yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

compliance Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I was in Europe for the past week in Paris and Rome. I passed on a green label Blantons in hopes of a greater score later, but that turned out to be the only half interesting bottle of whiskey I'd find the whole trip. Came home with plenty of wine and a bottle of Calvados instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yountvillewjs Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Ritt 27. I have one bottle, haven't opened it yet. Wish I would have, as the price was right but too high to have another bottle of something I may not like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrAtomic Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Passed on a Handy Rye at $80. I then picked up the last bottle of Weller Antique in the store, but another shopper noticed me lingering over the bourbons and asked if I could recommend a bottle. He said he liked Maker's and wanted to try something new, so I just handed him the Weller and left empty-handed. It was the first time anyone asked me for a suggestion. Plus, I was really craving Weller 12, which has disappeared from all my local stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
