393foureyedfox Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 OGD114 @ $34.99. Just not ready to pay that much for it yet. I know I eventually will but the increases are making me more hesitant.how much did it used to be, and did it go up everywhere there?Its $21 here.....or least it was, I havent bought any since last summer so I might be surprised when I go back for more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suntour Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 batch 3 of ECBP? I'm hearing that's the best one so far.What's interesting about ECBP is that its not a one-time thing. They're going to keep releasing it. I wonder how this will affect its sales and desireability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So as they replenish their stock they are always paying the latest price from the distributor/producer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldKentucky Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Passed up a Bookers 25th at $99.99 at one store. Passed up a bottle of Weller 12 at $89.99, this was the same store trying to sell Lot B for 249.99 earlier in the year, probably the last time I will ever step foot in the store.

Really? $90 for W12? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall the exact amount, but pretty sure I saw it around here recently for sub-$25 still - if you want to take a drive down 75 and stock up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT, I'm pretty sure you've posted other bourbons that have taken significant price jumps since you joined. I think they're on to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TunnelTiger Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Shoot I may be "the Bourbon buyer" in NWGA! I'm going to make a trip south on I75 and stock up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gusto16 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Passed on a Hirsch Special Reserve 20 yr old for $179 & a GTS for $250.Maybe one day I'll find a BTAC at a reasonable price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrBob Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 6 bottles of Stagg Jr at $75. Every time I pass them by at this shop I note that I can get it reliably in Houston for $45, but I guess they take what the market will bear, and $75 is more than I will pay for it. $50 is a fair enough price.

rndenks Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Passed on a Bookers 25th at $110. A friend was in the Chicago area, and offered to pick one up for me. Just could not justify, at this time, another high price bottle un-tasted at that cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravensfire Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Passed on a bottle of OFBB 2009. I've got the 2012 and 2013 and really like them. But the '09 for $90? I think not! I had actually grabbed the bottle when I saw it and only then looked at the shelf. Damn near did a looney tunes-esqe double-take when I saw the price tag!

ChainWhip Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Now that's just being cruel. :grin:Passed up a gaggle of ECBP3 again today - I may not be able to say no next time even though I'm not drinking much bourbon these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmossle Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Passed on ER10 store select single barrel today. They had plenty of them so if anyone would like to know where to adopt these bottles, let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you plain don't like Dickel #12 though, I doubt you'd like it, as the family resemblance is strong. You guys know how much I love the stuff, though.

corpse_welder Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I go in my local store and always see the Stagg Jr. and ECBP for $90 each and I must always pass them up. I would love to buy them but to me, a $90 whiskey is an established favorite or an extremely special release Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suntour Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I really hope Oregon gets the orphan barrel releases so I can post in here about not buying them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
393foureyedfox Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Id really like to try the 20 year orphan barrel, but I doubt Id ever see one on the shelf, or see it at retail price, or feel like paying $80 retail price anyway. $80 retail seems liek a decent price, I was surprised thats how they priced it, Id figured it'd be twice that. i havent seen any reviews yet anyway, who knows, it may taste like turpentine.

qman22 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Passed on Bookers 25th. Went on sale in PA and I didn't bite. Ended up selling out in 30 min. I want to drink it, but I have a tough time with the asking price on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsJackNow Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Yesterday I passed on the PHC POH at $90 in favor of 1 each of ETL and ECBP for about $10 less total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
