Do SBers Stock Up on Value Bourbons?

[CoMobourbon]

Yellow label for $13?!?! That's almost $10 cheaper than here.

I have managed to pack away quite a few away of the following W12,Ritt BIB,HH 6yr and WTR101.I think we can all agree with fear three things the most in our world,shortages,rising prices and change and I want to be well prepared for all three.

im not one for stocking up. i do have a stockpile of KC120 though. not because i thought it was going away or changing, or anything. it was because the store i frequent decided to stop carrying it as its a slow mover in this end of town, and put their whole stock of it at half price. i love this stuff and know ill never again see a $40 bottle priced at $18, so i bought every single one they had, even the few bottles in the back. it'll last me a few years i imagine.

most other stuff i buy ( i rarely go over $20 bottles ), i know there will be plenty on the shelf whenever i go back, so i choose to let them carry the stock, not me. If i keep a case in my cellar, it may get broken, stolen, who knows what.....so why bother loading up on something thats always available.

i'd stockpile it if: its something i love and its on a great sale, its something i love and its going out of production, or prohibition is coming back. thats it. i wont stock something i dont love even if its going away. that would be stupid.

is HH white 6 year really going away? I like it, but dont love it. of so, i may put a few bottles in the cellar. but really, i kind of prefer the EW BIB NAS anyway........but the difference is so slight, id probbly buy whatever is cheaper anyway.

is HH white 6 year really going away?

If I see something that I like for a very good price I will stock up a bit, because the prices are only going up.

If I see a good sale price on something I like, I get a couple. In the past, stores around here have had problems keeping some brands like Weller, and Ritt on the shelves. That's another reason to grab more than one. I actually think I save gas, and waste less time this way. Plus I live in a state with no Sunday sales. We have to plan ahead.

Right now I only have a couple of value pours bunkered:

- A few bottles of Weller 12 and OWA. Weller 12 because of the possibility of shortages and OWA because there is a shortage of it here in Indiana.

- A handle of EW Black Label that Target had on clearance for $13 a few weeks ago.

squire, only five year supply? you aren't planning for apocalypse? ya never know when tragedy strikes like wild turkey flooding the Ohio or fires at heaven hill. have ya not been watching the zombie training films? you think hollywood isn't in cahoots with the feds gettin' us ready???

I don't stock up on value stuff per say. But being in Iowa when I travel somewhere that has much better prices I'll pick up multiple bottles. Usually it's four roses which can be a little difficult to find, and expensive. I typically only buy enough to make it to my next planned trip out of state though.
