jtexaslonestar Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Josh, I would think great whiskey would help with that? Joe, you are 100% correct. I have been doing some budget work tonight after driving home for an hour with no new buddy to accompany me home. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthewdc Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 passed on WT Tradition at $125. They had a few of them on the shelf. wish they would forgo the fancy bottle and box and lower the price point some. then I might be interested.

MyOldKyDram Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Half a dozen WT Rye at 19.99.EC 18. No price listed, but prob not bad as everything else in this store was reasonable. Just didn't want it.Handy @ 69.99.5 or so Ritt 25s at 150+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bingstein Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 PHC 12 for $80. Dumb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smknjoe Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 That's the going retail price. Haven't tasted it. Some love it and others love the first batch out of the 3 produced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Passed on a Taylor BIB bourbon and rye, just not interested in them.Best regards, Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Passed on a 1.75 of Charter 101 priced at $29.95 and that was on special. It may have been worth it but that's about twice what I'll pay for a basic mixer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFerguson Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Full line of BTAC. At $189, not in the plan. But it was nice to look at them for a bit. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Bottle of Clyde May's Conecuh ridge which wasn't worth the price of two Bartons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savagehenry Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 Bulleit 10 year - Just could not justify $44 for a 10 year 91 proof when EC12 is on the shelf for $23 & 4RSB is $38. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Saw EC on the shelf today for $21.00, remarkable how they hold that sort of price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalessin Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Found a FR 1B 2011 LE at $80 (normal retail price for it in MA), but I'd aready spent $60 on two other bourbons and there's no more whiskey budget available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelturtle1 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 2x Ritt 23 almost pulled the trigger but then I remembered I went on a whiskey buying rampage 2 weekends agoAlso a handful of 84 proof Makers Mark purple dipped bottles to celebrate the Ravens winning the Super Bowl...I am sure they will be worth Millions Some day., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 A bottle of Bakers at $39.95, just a bit too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFS Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Michter's SB 20 year @ $150 (That would be a record for me, for a single bottle)THH (132.4 proof, don't know what year that would make it) @ $107 (is that retail?) Not yet fully on board with ryes2009 4R SB LE (barrel strength 58.3%, Warehouse SS, Barrel 43-3L) @ $93 each. I haven't tried this yet, so didn't want to pull the trigger. I was able to taste a private selection from the adjoining restaurant, and thought it was mostly too hot and therefore unbalanced. That sort of factored into the pass.Not bourbon, but saw 4 different "Connoisseurs Choice" scotches from Gordon and MacPhail. (I looked, and didn't see a Scotch thread for pass-ups).

Wryguy Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Michter's SB 20 year @ $150 (That would be a record for me, for a single bottle)Records are made to be broken! I've never seen that bottle retail for less than 350, go back and buy it! THH is definitely overpriced. The 2009 4R LE 1B is the sweetest tasting Four Roses I've ever had, FWIW. Price is definitely on the high side though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Price is definitely on the high side though.Do you mean that the 4R is actually sweet, or was "sweetest tasting" a standing in for something like "best" or "most awesome" or similar?The $92 would also break a record for me (for bourbon).What's so special about the Michter's?

Wryguy Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Actually sweet. Not spicy like the private selection you were describing. As for the Michter's, I've never had it because of the high price point, but here's a link:http://www.bonappetit.com/blogsandforums/blogs/bafoodist/2012/11/michters-single-barrel-bourbon.htmlThe article seems to indicate that it is a very limited run of bottles. I've only ever seen it 3 places, and never for under 350, in the Northeast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
