What bourbon did you pass up today? Winter '13/'14

[Yeti]

Passed on a 2013-6 Booker's and a batch #2 Old Scout Rye. The OSR was mixed in with a bunch of batch #22, but I don't need any. I did want the Booker's, but I'm really trying to cut my spending way back this year.

Once again, but now at the highest price I've seen yet, PHC Promise of Hope @ $120. Seems a good many good hearted folk were willing to reach for it at $80-90 but this is way out of line IMHO.

Passed on an 80's OWA 7 paper label pint/375 for........$150. And a '13 THH. Just got one and that makes 3 I've left for karma in the past few weeks. Even in this crazy market they still seem to be the stepchild of the BTAC.

[smknjoe]

The OWA was at a store...for that much?!?

[DrBob]

Lots of OWA, and bought only one of the two Weller 12's on the shelf, also left WT Tradition.

Yep. They found a "lost case" at the distributor. And being SW it's priced BX style.

[Eskwar]

Phone calls to the owner/boss never seem to go well

Ain't that the truth. I had an identical experience w/ a WTKS pewter-top off the beaten path a year ago. Phoned-in price (with the son-employee also doing some internet-checking in front of me) was something like $120. An easy pass...on *everything* at that store.

OT: For the second time in as many months, I passed on some EW black-label 7yo. Priced reasonably, but the cabinet is full enough of other 7yos that (I think) I prefer.

Passed on a James E. Pepper 1776 15 yr. old, never had it, can't remember ever seeing it...$115.00, it sure felt good in my hands though.

[whiskeyagonzo]

Passed on all these today because BT wouldn't let me have any. :-)

[MyOldKyDram]

Cool! Will be looking for it soon.

[fishnbowljoe]

I agree. Very cool indeed. I just hope I'll be able to get a couple of bottles.

[theglobalguy]

I just hope they flip those cases back over before shipment!

[portugieser]

Oh wow, very nice. Thanks for sharing and can't wait to see this on the shelves.

[RepTucker]

PHC POH they wanted too much and I have 2 already. EC21 Again too rich for me right now. I bought one of 3 Abraham Bowman the store had, if you are in Memphis, TN I can point you to where these were as of a couple days ago, may still be there. Its obvious store though. They also had a few liters of VOB BIB 6yr that I passed on. This store also had the George Dickel 9 and 14yr Private Selections. Had to pass them as well.

GTS 2013 for $400, didn't bother to ask the price of the PVW23 next to it.

[J-Brew]

WLW 13 and Saz 18 for $499 each. Yeah, no thanks.

[danz]

Am I just mean-spirited, or does anybody else think about an organized boycott of places like this? I definitely have a list of places in NYC that are never getting a dime or a (favorable) recommendation from me. I have pulled the distributor pricing from the State filings and these markups are at the retailer level, not the distributors or Buffalo Trace.

Damn, there is one bottle I know of around here for $70...and I've even passed on that.

[garbanzobean]

A.H. Hirsch 25 @ $250 and A.H. Hirsch 28 @ $350. Neither of these seem like they are worth it, but please let me know if I am mistaken.

[Balchinian]

On my way for camping this weekend, stopped by a few stores along the way...

Stagg Jr from two different stores: $99 and $150

ORVW (2013) $299

LotB (2013) $399

Rockhill Farms $39.99

EC21 $149.99

[DBM]

RHF for $40 is a steal, with I could buy a couple bottles for that price.

[squire]

RHF doesn't move around here, one place has marked it down to $42.50 and it's still collecting dust. Surprising what brands take off and what doesn't.

[TunnelTiger]

No RHF at all in NWGA, it is available in Chatt, Tn but doesn't seem to move very fast.

[corpse_welder]

I passed up a few bottles of Weller SR. Out here in California, Weller has been severely cut back, so I've been grabbing every bottle I can find, but I have plenty of that one. Still hunting OWA and W12...
