What did you pass up today? Summer '13

[savagehenry]

ECBP @ $140, same store that I purchased one for $45 a few months ago.

Stagg Jr @ $70

[smknjoe]

Passed on some Black Maple Hill and Angel's Envy Rye... prices were just a little higher than I was comfortable spending ($80 for each).

Passed on some Lock Stock & Barrel 13yr Rye as I hadn't heard of it. Also passed on a 7 yrs, 11 mo old Bookers as they wanted too much IMHO.

[c.dono]

Passed on some reasonably priced WT American Spirit, and some overpriced EC21.

[Ejmharris]

... and some overpriced EC21.

Isn't it all overpriced?

[Post content deleted. I didn't finish anything today, just posted in the wrong topic thread. I'll work on the tail end of a bottle or two tonight, I promise!]

I passed on some Ritt BIB, DSP-1 today. Priced at $28/bottle, that's a $3 increase over the DSP 354, and they still had a couple of DSP 354's on the shelf. I will probably get some, but not today.

Passed on a few things, at least one of which I will regret:

ECBP, batch 2 (there were two bottles on the shelf!)

Henry McKenna BIB (in the great old packaging but just couldn't pull the trigger at $32.15 and with two near-full bottles of other HH BIBs on hand)

Wild Turkey American Spirit

My bunker is starting to look like a wise investment in my future drinking pleasure already!

[lrochau]

Passed on every bottle I saw in 6 stores in Emporia ks.

[nd2005]

Passed on the EC21. Just couldn't do it at that price...

[TunnelTiger]

Passed on another EC21 @ $149.00, it just can't be that good

nothing is worth more than $50, i dont care what it is, or what the masses say about it. $50 a 750 is $250 a gallon.

[Yeti]

It costs a lot of money to make a lot of really good, old whiskey.

[Vosgar]

I believe it was BourbonJoe who once said "you can buy good inexpensive bourbons, but you can't buy great inexpensive bourbons". Don't doubt the man

I love that perspective! We can ask the next master distiller we meet "so how much are you asking for a gallon of your whiskey sir?" :rofl:

Value is in the eye of the beholder. I'd never pay what I hear BX charges for things I like (GTS, WLW), but if I could pick both of those up retail whenever I wanted them for $70 - they'd replace several other bottles in the rotation

[squire]

I would have to say I'll never pay more than $50 for a bottle of whisky . . . again.

Squire I think yhou are on to something here. Over the past couple of months I have tried numerous bottles but when I compare a $20 bottle to a $75 bottle I just can't taste a $50 difference.

[MyOldKyDram]

Sometimes I can, sometimes...

The 4R SmB LEs for instance I generally feel are well worth the 40-50 premium over its reg counterpart. I'd be all too happy if more people came around to your way of thinking however!

ive not tried the LE stuff of 4R. but it would have to be exponentially greater than the regular stuff for me to even give $20 for it. Ive got some 4RSiB here, and i just cant drink it.

The difference is a cool label and a pretty bottle.
