bin31z Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Not really passed up but while looking for FRLE SMB today on craigslist (I know, why do I even bother) I saw a guy selling a bunch of bourbons for these prices, obviously a easy pass . The thing that gets me upset is alot of that stuff is readily available and sitting on shelves.

393foureyedfox Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 ECBP for $350?!:slappin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smknjoe Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Oh, yeah...I forgot that I was also offered a Mitcher's Celebration for the low, low price of $5000. It was hard, but I passed. I might go back later and get it though. Plus, I opened and am drinking every VW I got this year and I'll have nothing to stare at on my shelf pretty soon.

Install a tap in the barrel, and invite everyone over. Or, buy the 750ml for $5000 and be a schmutz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bingstein Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 More Lock Stock rye or whatever the hell it is called. Big ol swing and a miss on this one from what I can tell. Maybe customers are wising up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rndenks Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Passed up on some WR Master's Malt at $98, easy pass there. Also passed on some CEHT 1B and SB at $42 an $62, this tougher because I really like the barrel proof. Good news is that I found a new store that has a selection with a lot stuff my normal stores do not have. I will be back for you CEHT just you wait!

petrel800 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Passed on some Black Maple Hill ("it's allocated now," oh well in that case I guess I still don't need mystery whiskey at my house, the shop men keep saying that like I should be impressed) and some Stagg Jr. Prices were reasonable, Stagg Jr. was tempting, but I'm saving my coin this month. The fall was rough on the budget and I want to pick up a new receiver soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bin31z Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Passed up on private bottling of eagle rare, dickel and four roses. Also passed on a couple bottles of Thomas Handy. I was planning to get 2 or 3 but wanted to try 1 bottle tonight to see if I liked it first. I've bought bottles because they were "rare" and "highly coveted" but turned out not to like them.

berto Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Store bottlings of FR. Don't know which recipe/s I prefer and $50+/bottle to figure it out is too much right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bourbonfoot Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Some 8 year age stated 1792. I've never been a huge fan, but just in case it'd be great to have the age stated version around to compare to the new stuff.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
