What bourbon did you pass up today? Fall/Winter 2014

[tanstaafl2]

Passed on a bunch of stuff I am not familiar with at what seemed like extreme prices. Garrison brother for 90, Amador whiskey at 75. Saw the belle Meade 9yr. Passed at 75. Bunch of HW. Jeff ocean, few others

I've always have passed on the Belle Meade jut because I can't recall it being mentioned here but now that have gone and done I guess next week a bottle will need to come home with me.

The regular Belle Meade is pretty basic MGP whiskey that is around 7yo. The one I am talking about is the recent 9yo release finished in sherry. I first tried it in early December and really enjoyed it.

The Sherry finish is a good bit less common but a new batch seemed to hit Atlanta in the past week. Whether it is the same as before I can't say.

[kjbeggs]

I quite enjoyed the Sherry Finished Belle Meade as well.

The standard bottle is OK, but nothing special.

The SF makes quite a nice sipper though.

Think I paid about $70 for it a couple months ago.

Just picked up a handle of WLW12. Have an open one but the Wellers as well as all BT products have been hard to come by in my AO. It was the only one on the shelf. They had a few 750s of BT but at $26, it doesn't work for me in the small size.

I saw an online retailer yesterday that was offering 750's of Weller12 for $199.00

Has it really come to this?

(I was fortunate to find three 1 liters earlier this week for $30 each).

It has if they sell.

Saw an Angel's Envy Cask Strength 2014 - $179.99 - passed.

I passed on a ri 1 sitting on the 50% off listed price shelf at a store today because I knew nothing about it. (marked price was $44)

I may have to go back & get it.

I picked one of those up a few months back, marked on sale for $19.99 (from $40). I hadn't tried it before, but I wouldn't buy another bottle for $10. A very uninteresting whiskey IMHO.

[LakeJ]

I passed on a bottle of Old Rip Van Winkle 10 yr for $179. I got the same bottle last year at the same place for $125.

Passed on Angel's Envy Cask Strength 2014 at $160. I've tasted it and wasn't too impressed… somewhat thin and spicy compared to last years full bodied offering that I almost wish I had grabbed at $140.

I really liked the 2013 as well (although some didn't) and wish I had found another. Haven't tried the 2014 yet but hope to remedy that this week. Planning on a 2012/2013/2014 side by side blind tasting!

WT Diamond & Stagg Jr over the weekend.

[bin31z]

Passed on old rip 10 at 299

[EvergladeSlim]

Willett XCF at $129. Any interested MD SB'ers shoot me a message.

[JGriff]

Passed on a Parker's Heritage 2014 today @ $149. Is that a good price? Not too familiar with this release.

That is a horrible price. But then again I am not a big fan of the stuff.

[ccleve23]

Left a ECBP on the shelf for 120.

[nd2005]

thanks man. That's what I was thinking.

I am a big fan of the stuff, but that is a tad overpriced.

However I am weak, so I would probably have caved. It's $99 retail in my neck of the woods.

Dang dude I'm a sucker so I may pull the trigger. Only live once right Brosef? ?

Just don't tell the wife. She thinks I'm crazy for collecting bottles that I won't drink.

She's right. If you must buy it, at least have the decency to drink it.

[amg]

I saw a Charbay R5 on the shelf for the first time in Indy. I'm debating whether to go back for it.

[jp_stargazer]

Saw these Willett 6 and 8 year ryes, maybe 6 bottles of each. This picture is from 2 weeks ago, yesterday they were all gone. I have a feeling since they sat a while and then disappeared, one person may have bought all of them.
