What did you pass up today? Autumn '12

Or maybe for $46 he will get two​ bottles of crappy whiskey.

I actually found the 4 Wood release to be quite nice. I think Woodford is on the right track with experiments in the Master's Collection with aging/finishing in different woods to round out the sharp edges of their pot still house style. A couple of the most recent years' releases really work for me.

$500?! That is absurd. I can see why you dont have to wonder why the Lot B is on the shelve still.

Well, I just saw a bottle of Lot B here in DC for, wait for it... $229.00. This is the most ridiculous price/markup I've seen yet.

Wow, that's cash only in a dark alley pricing.

Saw a Pappy 23 for $329. I expected it to be in a locked case but it was sitting on the shelf.

Shoot, I remember when Heaven Hill sent their 20+ year old whiskies overseas because they didn't think we would drink that old woody stuff.

Newb here, so let me know if I should reverse this error(s) when I go back next week to pick up a transferred bottle of EWSB:

OGD114 (4 bottles, 2 boxed, 2 not, seemed to be the same bottles) - price was <$30

Colonel EH Taylor 100 proof (may have been BIB, didn't check carefully - it was in a whitish heavy cardboard tube) This was $70, and they had 2 bottles.

Colonel EH Taylor 100 proof RYE (in a light yellow heavy cardboard tube) - I don't drink rye, so I didn't look carefully, but I think this was $70 also, and they had 6 bottles.

A 375-mL bottle of The Sngle Oak Project ($60)

JPS18 (batch 6) at $90.

Personally I'd pass on all of those save the OGD. And I'm hoping it was a good $10 or so cheaper than 30. That being said, you'll find advocates of all of those around here. Only way to know for sure where ou stand is to start trying.

[SFS]

May well have been $20 or so. I just don't usually take notice of the price unless it's higher than $30. I only noted the 114 because of the reading I'd done here the night before.

OGD 114 is the same in the box as well as out of it. At nearly all the places I've seen it on the shelf, about half have boxes. I wonder if they come in the case half in boxes and half not (to save on packaging costs...)...
