jp_stargazer Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I was in Florida this weekend for my sister's wedding and stopped at a couple local stores near the hotel. I was surprised for a tourist area how cheap some of the normal offerings were. The stores also had CEHTSmB which is all sold out near me. I also saw bottles of Booker's batch 2013-6 at several of the stores but it was $10 more than what I pay here (although I haven't seen any 2013-6). If I wasn't flying, I would have loaded up on some cheap Ancient Age, EW1783, and bought a couple bottles of CEHTSmB. Sigh.Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amg Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Passed up WT Diamond at $149. From what I've read, I'm pretty sure I would be disappointed at that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altadoc Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 · Hidden Hidden i picked up a bottle of the campfire finished double rye and a syrah finished rendezvous rye from high west a few months back.i haven't opened the rendezvous yet, so i can't speak to it, but the double rye - campfire finish is interesting and tasty. definitely benefits from an extra 18-20 months in a barrel. plus its sub $50.

altadoc Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Anyone know how those finished Rendezvous Ryes are? A local place has one that's Manhattan finished and another with a Campfire finish. I'm intrigued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul W Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I passed on some Mich Toasted Barrel yesterday too. It was presented to me from behind the counter as a limited release and something I should be thankful to get a chance to purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Vino Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Are you sure they were the 2014? I've seen a few around at those prices that are leftovers from last year still BV: great catch. They were in fact the 2013 release. Correction, the THH was $349 not $399. I was so shocked by the prices that I did not focus on the actual label.

Jazz Nut Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Passed up on a few bottles of Stagg Jr. in favor for a few bottles of Scotch. They also had a bottle of Rhetoric for $99. Reviews seemed mixed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to stop in to see what, if any, goodies this store had gotten recently since they still have a couple of last years ORVW10 for $349. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, the MWND at $68 right next to it was a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Vino Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 JW, it was Wine Library and I was mightily tempted by the MWND. They also have Forty Creek Confederation Oak for $62. Picking up two MM Cask strength tomorrow in NYC, so trying to exhibit a little self control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Passed on not bourbon WPBHog, all HW and WT Diamond. Was looking for OWA and baby Saz but no luck. Also worth noting, I'm seeing EWSB just at just over 10 years old of late. I know there were also a few last year, but it's really nice to see that the Beam boys are holding steady with the profile, age be damned! :toast: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sutton Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Wine Library in Springfield? Wow, for some reason, I thought they were "above" the marking up to exorbitant prices. I guess I was wrong! Cross them off my list.Hit and miss - generally their pricing is quite good. The BTAC bottle pricing is very surprising for them. I don't shop there often but have done well on Duncan Taylor's and Irish whiskies in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lepisto Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Passed on a store selection Jefferson Ocean 3. Not sure if it is worth $70 or if it is just a neat gimmick. I held it up to a light with a regular Jefferson and the Ocean was a touch lighter in color despite being slightly higher in proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
