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

[393foureyedfox]

Still couldn't get myself to grab a HH6/90 even now that the Six Year age statement has nearly dropped off the bottle. Suspect it won't be there much longer.

[393foureyedfox]

Is this a new label after the end of 2014 label that I saw somewhere here? Gosh, these things change quickly ? You got a pic of the newest ?

[smokinjoe]

Thanks. But I thought I remember seeing a later pic (Decemberish?) with the big 6 on the neck label, and not on the small shoulder label?

Edit: yeah, there's a pic of this label in the HH BIB 6 yr Yowza thread. I guess that's the latest?

Forged Oak @ $80. My pal at the liquor store let me know he had a couple in stock, but then said "But the people at Diageo are kind of douchebags, so I'm not really too interested in selling these . . . " Thought that was pretty funny. Had intended to pass anyway. Maybe at $40-$50.

Eric,

If you ever come up to Philly, let me know- I just recently bought a bottle, you're welcome to have a pour.

Stopped in a certain notorious chain store today just to see what they're stocking these days. Saw a private selection 100 proof OBSV for $79.99. I bet they won't run out of that one any time soon.

That's a slap in the face. Hell, even the FR gift shop only charges $72 for the barrel proofers.

Passed on OWA for 28 today. Anyone in The triangle wants it, message me and I'll give you the ABC store it's at. They also had KCSB and passed on it too.

did see the new JBB package without age statement.

Thanks for the generous invite! I'm not getting out a ton these days due to the baby, but if I ever do, the wife and I need to visit Philly anyway. I'll look you up.

I'm guessing that the owners heard that 4R private selections are all the rage and totally missed the point. This chain also sells Baby Saz for $49.99 among other offenses.

I've been out of the loop for awhile, so not quite sure where to post this, but I just got an email from a liquor store in DC with some VERY puzzling prices that I'll definitely be taking a pass on:

Colonel E.H. Taylor Warehouse C Tornado Surviving Bourbon Bonded Whiskey

100 Proof - 750ml

Our Price: $849.98

Old Forester Bourbon Bonded Whiskey

100 Proof - 1 Liter

2014 Release - Discontinued

Distilled at DSP 354, Bottled at DSP 414

Our Price: $349.98

I get that the Warehouse C may be rare/limited, but how on earth is a 1L bottle of Old Forester Bonded worth so much more than list price?

There's a place close to me selling regular old Baker's for $219.00. (Edit: I should say "attempting to sell" rather than "selling.")

From what I understand, Old Forester Bonded was discontinued a lot longer ago than 2014. My understanding is that it was replaced by Old Forester Signature 100 proof years ago. OF Bonded is a desirable dusty.

The price is still outlandish, but I think that "2014 release" has to be a mistake.

Being released by them I expect.

Been passing on 'Colville' Kentucky Straight Bourbon for a while now. Curiously, during a bourbon tasting event for which I poured at one of tables, the second most requested brand of 9 at that table was the Colville. (Blanton's was #1.) Does anybody have any love for this unknown brand. ... Or any info on it? It seems to put up by or for a Florida NDP. I assume the fluid in bottle is some HH stuff. I tasted a small pour of it, and found young and unassuming, and under-powered at 80-pr.

a shelf full of handles of WT101 for $35. great deal, but i hate 1.75 size bottles.

I buy family sized bottles of Larceny and BT, and just use them to refill the brand appropriate individual 750 as needed.

Jim Beam Single Barrel. I am a Beam fanboy...gotta have that funk. But I am only human and I will have to scratch the bourbon itch soon. Should I get the JBSB or the Jim Beam Signature 12 year?

[gusto16]

I thought this was just a new label for the 1792 Ridgemont Reserve...

I think I'll be returning soon to pick one up.

[gusto16]

Also an Angel's Envy CS 2014 at MSRP ($169)

Isn't that just a new label for 1792RR ?

Yeah. They've dropped 'Ridgemont Reserve' from the name, but it's the same product. They're adding some others to the "1792" lineup as well: http://www.straightbourbon.com/forums/showthread.php?22065-New-Barton-Bourbons

I believe the one's I saw last weekend were still with the old label.

[gusto16]

I passed on a Jim Beam Masterpiece for $184.
