petrel800 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Passed up Chestnut Farms, Two Star and Black Ridge. Never seen them locally here in GA. I did find the Chestnut Farms bottle humorous. It's the EH Taylor bottle with the EH Taylor "tax stamp" paper band, but it just says 90 proof on the band. These offerings just look like they were put out on the cheap. It's almost like Sazarac over ordered Weller, EH Taylor and PVW bottles and couldn't return them, so they filled them up and sent them out.

KySalesRep Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I could see a store in NY asking that price, but Kentucky? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Yeah, but folks in Kentucky know their Bourbon, at least the one's I've met. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squire Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Forgot to add, is that the Sazerac version? I believe there may be another out there with a similar brand name from a different company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smknjoe Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I passed on a PVW 23yr today. They were asking $500, so it was very easy to say no! The girl said they have had it since early November and several people have asked about it. She said so far, everybody has said that's way too high a price and walked out. Good for them!

OscarV Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I passed on a Very Very Old Fitzgerald, the guy wanted a grand for it, I offered 950 bucks, we couldn't agree on a price so I passed hence the the thread title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradleyC Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I passed on the the new RR 110 proof for $50. A trusted member who is a big WT fan had nothing good to say about it. The extra proof sure brought the price up. I wonder what the price of the new Rare Breed will be when it comes out. Might need to pick up a few before the new ones hit and the cost goes north.

George Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I actually passed up all bourbon today, and I bought some rum. Bourbon prices continue to rise around here, and though I continue to drink it, I'm also looking at other options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrel_Proof Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Yet another few sets of those Woodford Reserve 375 Ryes, even though these were $78 for the pair. No one can get rid of this stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeti Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I saw a row of RR10 signed by Jimmy Russell and dated 2011. Seemed like a neat find, but didn't seem necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
