final442 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Browsed a local shop which had everything marked up quite a bit. I was very amused by JPS21 at $250 and Michter's 10 for $150. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulO Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I passed on Four Roses single barrel selections OBSK, and OESF for $50, and OFBB 2013 for $47. I already have a FRSB 2013 LE open that is OBSK. To me it's just ok. I've tried several years of OFBB in the past. Honestly, I think I much prefer Signature, regardless of price. I think one day I'll try a Four Roses OE mashbill just to satisfy my curiousity. To me the OB mashbills I've tried (OBSV and OBSK) taste like drier versions of Wild Turkey Rare Breed.

Wryguy Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 (edited) Jefferson's Chef's Collaboration, a bourbon-rye mingling, a la Bourye, 44.99. I was intrigued, but I passed for now. Edited October 15, 2013 by Wryguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was intrigued, but I passed for now.I've been on the lookout for this for quite some time. Mind sharing where you saw it? Ed Lee is a pretty intriguing guy. I also heard that retail was supposed to be closer to $39.99. I would pay that.Any idea on age statement? Last time I talked to Trey it came up, but that was a year ago and I have forgotten.

ChicagoFlyer Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Lock Stock & Barrel rye for $109. Price was good compared to other places I've seen it but I just couldn't bring myself to purchase until I see more reviews. At this point its still a $110 wild card that could be better spent on 3 bottles of Jeff10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I passed on those two new Beam products (12 yr and Spanish Brandy); however, they're intriguing enough to me that I'm sure I'll go back and get them eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tylermke Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Lock, Stock, and Barrel rye @ $109 and both of the new Jim Beam offerings. I did buy some Founders Breakfast Stout, so it wasn't a total waste of a trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skidfive Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 excited to find a Vintage 17 wheat version in the wild, was expecting a $90-100 price tag on it as it was a liquor store, not a chain store. Turns out I was way off... he had it marked at $169.99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TunnelTiger Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 passed on the two new Jim Beams at two diiferent stores and unless I've over looked it I haven't seen any tastings of either posted here yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petrel800 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I passed on some OFBB for $43. Not an awful price and I'd like to grab another, but after my bourbon expenditures this week, I decided it wasn't a need. Headed to Vegas next month, so I've got to save some money. Also left a boat load of barrel 11 EC21 on the shelf at $130 / bottle. Again, not a bad price, but I'm still having heart burn on bringing one home.

I suspect those bottles will sit for quite a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
