JayMonster Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Passed up Stetson, Jesse James and Berkshire. All new or fairly new entries around here and proof (to me) of the decline of the decline of the Bourbon market... At least in NJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yountvillewjs Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Did you mean Ritt 21/23/25? I have never heard of Ritt 27.25, thanks for the catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bad_scientist Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Evan Williams 7 year 375 ml for $7. A bit much, considering that's about the price of a 750 of the NAS stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compliance Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Left work at lunchtime for the day so I made some rounds. Passed on a few Vintage 17s, ORVW 10/90 (but got one for a friend), and Handy at $90 (and a couple Ardbeg Day bottles at $99).edit - and a WT Tradition for $120. Should I think twice about that one?

GaryT Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Passed on an EC18 (priced fairly at $50, but saving my next $50 for something else), as well as a WT Tradition @ $110. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p_elliott Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Moved my oldest stepdaughter to college today and stopped at a couple of liquor stores on the way home. The only thing I did see of interest was Baby Saz now that might not seem like a big deal but this was in Iowa and 60 miles from home. I didn't think you could get Sazerac Jr in Iowa. Normally I have to go to Omaha to get it and then it's hit and miss. I passed on it because my last bottle was so grassy/hay that I could hardly drink it. It had to let it breathe for 6 months before it was good. Just don't have the room for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compliance Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Been passing up the Four Roses Single Barrel 2012 LE, one at $86 and another place at $120. Glad I have one from TPS. Not sure if Socal is getting the shaft from distributors on this or it's just some retailers being opportunistic. The place with it for $86 isn't known for markups.

unclebunk Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Found a pair of WT Kentucky Spirit Pewter Tops for $52 each that I left on the shelf for no good reason other than I had dropped a fair amount of cash at another liquor store earlier in the evening. I think I'll head back on payday and snag 'em both, being a big Wild Turkey fan. Been a while since I've bought any KS, as I usually grab the Rare Breed or WT101 when I'm in the mood for some Turkey.

Just don't have the room for that.Despite the raves that continue to roll in for baby Saz, I have had the same experience with my current bottle. When I first opened it, it had a sappy, gummy profile that was thick with woody grass. It has opened up really nicely, but it has definitely taken months to get as pleasant as it's now drinking.

Young Guns Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Saw a bottle of EC 18 year yesterday for $43. I have never had it, but saw on here that it is discontinued, so I might go grab it next payday. It's in a little hole in the wall store that caters mostly to the $10 and under crowd....pretty sure it will be there next week..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostBottle Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Passed on a WT 81 Rye. Had it been a gift set packaged with toothpaste and Pepto Bismol, I might have pulled the trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c2walker Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I had to pass on a bunch of intriguing Japan-only releases a few weeks back since my wife and I couldn't tote a bunch of bottles around Thailand/Cambodia/Indonesia. The only bottles not available in the US that I found in the Tokyo airport tonight (as I pass back through) were WT 8 & 12 and Harper 15. The latter was left on the shelf.

scratchline Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 High West 16 yr. rye. Have heard good things but at 99 a bottle, I'll stick to the Vintage 21 yr. rye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tico Posted August 25, 2012 Author Share Posted August 25, 2012 High West 16 yr. rye.

EC18 was my "gateway" into the world of bourbonmania, but then I enjoy heavily aged whiskey more than most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostBottle Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 High West 16 yr. rye. Have heard good things but at 99 a bottle, I'll stick to the Vintage 21 yr. rye.Mike, it might be worth grabbing a bottle, especially since it is no longer being released. I too love Vintage 21, but I also love the High West 16. It is very unique and extremley tasty stuff - a real gem. I would put it in my top 10 favorite American whiskeys of the last decade.
