RepTucker Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Yep, sadly its true. He said he was the last one with it in town and figures someone will pay that price. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclebunk Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 · Hidden Hidden Sure am glad I picked up all those PVW15's for $37 back in 2008 before the BT-produced stuff hit the market and the prices skyrocketed. I'd have to be a bank robber to buy the stuff now! Link to comment

tanstaafl2 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Store here asking $1000 for PVW15. Claimed that his cost is $130 now.I suppose there is nothing stopping the distributors in non control states from getting there lump of flesh given the level of graft that exists with this product. But like many here I have no interest in playing along. Instead I will waste my money on more interesting foolhardy purchases! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gatsby Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 A couple weeks ago I was lucky enough to be selected in a lottery for 1 of 3 bottles of ORVW 10/107. Paid $45.74. I'm sure they could have found many people to pay 3-4 times that much so it's nice to know that there are still stores around who adhere close to the MSRP and not try to gouge you.

I just don't have the means or the desire to pay more than $100 for a bottle of booze. That's not to say I haven't done it, but I always question myself as to whether it was worth it when other things in my cabinet that cost half as much are just as good.

Josh_NC Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 PVW15 is selling for about $500 on the secondary market around here. I can occasionally find Lot B for $250 but it's normally 300+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garbanzobean Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Maryland shelf prices:ORVW 10/107: Bought for $69, also seen for $150 (Pass)Lot B: $200VWFRR: $375 PVW15: $500PVW20: $800PVW23: $1000I obviously passed on everything besides the $69 ORVW. I realize that is about double MSRP, but I've never gotten a chance to try it before. I figure it's worth 70 bucks to try once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figure it's worth 70 bucks to try once.I would never pay those prices, but all things considered that's not unreasonable. PVW20 is going for $800-$1000 at auction (hammer price). The only time I see PVW on a retail store shelf is when it's beyond what the current market bears, like 15 for $1,500+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobills23 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Just received a call from a local shop that typically gets a decent fall allocation of Van Winkle, said they had one single bottle of "Pappy 12 year" in today and asked if I was interested. My delight turned sour when I asked the price- $200, and I politely declined. I have to admit I am a little aggravated at this since the store has always sold Pappy/VW close to MSRP- looks like those days are over. At least I don't have to listen to my wife complain about buying another bottle of bourbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s8ist Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 So when BT finally releases the 2014 round of PVW, are we going to see pricing go up or down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvd99 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 I was in my local store who had just put 2 more levels of shelving on top of the existing shelves to store boxed inventory and saw a three bottle box from Old Rip Van Winkle stashed up on the highest shelf. With a little excitment at the prospect of a nice score, I asked a guy to go up on the ladder and get it down. Much to my disappointment, the box was empty and the employee had no idea why it was up there. Oh well... Another store a few towns over has Lot B still sitting around for $299 with requirement that four other BT products must be purchased. What's funny is that the shop owner taped a newspaper article to the case talking about the Pappy craze, but the end of the article opined that Pappy was not a panacea and that there were many other readily available bourbons on par or better.

s8ist Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) Re: Empire WineThat has been on their website for a while. You'll note the following on that page: Shelf Locator: nest-no saleI was there a couple of weeks ago and didn't see it in the nest (back area behind the cashiers - way up top).They had plenty of other whiskeys that I hadn't seen before, so it's a pretty cool store if you're in the Albany area.

P&MLiquorsEric Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Email the VanWinkle's from their site. They will tell you what retail should be. According to the VW's the 2013 release that you see people asking crazy prices for was still at a MSRP of about:ORVW 10/107 $40Lot B $50PVW 15 $80PVW 20 $130PVW 23 $180? Not sure about that one, but it's very close to $200VWFRR $70 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbroo5880i Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) I didn't get any this past fall. It just doesn't make it to the shelves and a lot of lotteries require you to be present to win. I would probably pay $10 over the prices listed above. Not interested in any of the others. The prices are just too high!
