jp_stargazer Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 CEHT SmB at $59??? It's plentiful around me for $34/bottle. $60 for glorified BT or ER--crazy. I stopped by my local store last night to browse (and had to leave without buying anything when I realized I was late for an appointment at my house with a landscaper :bigeyes:). In the glass case I saw CEHT SmB but the price sticker on the shelf said "EH Taylor Barrel" for $84.99. So I'm thinking it is either a mistake and they printed the CEHT BP label...but maybe there might be a BP hiding back there! I am also expecting the SmB to be the normal $39.99 that is is around here. I ask the associate to check the system, and as I expected, no BP bottles and the shelf was incorrectly labeled. Then the shocker, the SmB price tag is supposed to say $69.99! That made the decision for me NOT to bunker another bottle, for sure.Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garbanzobean Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Passed on a lot of NDP stuff, and two bottles of minor interest: SAOS 6 yr from 2013, and a McCormick Will Rogers shaped decanter thing. Don't know much about the collectibles market, but it looked neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mardbrown Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I passed on CEHT BP for $70. I have one bunkered so I figured I would leave it for someone else. Been thinking about it all day. Feels like I let a pretty girl walk by without saying hello. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark fleetwood Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Rebel Yells new American whiskey (blend of 2yr MPGI rye and 2yr bourbon) and it's 2yr MPGI rye, $25ea, passed. Like the new bottle and labeling though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stickly Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Went to a new store i don't usually frequent. Passed on a CEHT Single Barrel for $59.99, an A.H. Hirsch 16 year in the fancy schmancy box for $1399, and....an entire 6-bottle set of Van Winkle bourbons for the low, low price of $4999.99. First time I've ever actually seen Pappy on a shelf (well actually it was in a locked glass case) here in Louisville. The only other time I've actually seen it on a shelf at all was a liquor store in Rome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t44tq Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I passed on tons of Elmer T. Lee for $34.99. I prefer Rock Hill Farms from the same mashbill even though it's $44.99. ETL should be something like $26.99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berto Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Barterhouse is perfectly ok but I need more than ok for 90 bones and Fighting Cock because I've always passed it by and I'm not sure I need to buy an age stated bottle just because it's going away.

foster016 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I passed on MMCS 750 ml at $59.99 and Four Kings (rye this year?) at $49.99. The price tag had it listed as a bourbon but I thought that this years was a rye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbroo5880i Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Not bourbon but I passed on a store select Masterson's 10 year old rye for $46.99. The price seems good compared to what I have seen elsewhere but I don't know much about it other than it appears to be from Alberta Distillers in Canada.

flahute Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Passed on Rhetoric, Forged Oak, and a third Orphan (can't remember which one).....that's how uninterested I am. Prices are all stupid. I'll continue to pick up ECBP and Stagg Jr. while I skip these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll continue to pick up ECBP and Stagg Jr. while I skip these.Good move. IMHO the Orphan Barrels should have stayed orphaned. You are very lucky to have ECBP readily available, I can't even find a bottle to try here in Kentucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CABourbon Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Very good recommendations from SB'ers here. For $129.99 you could get a wide range of bourbons from Heaven Hill.I did a tasting last summer of:1. Henry McKenna 10 Bottled in Bond2. Elijah Craig 123. Evan Williams Single Barrel4. Evan Williams Bottled in Bond5. Old Heaven Hill 8 year6. Old Heaven Hill Bottled in Bond7. Parker's Heritage Promise of HopeWhat that tasting revealed is that Heaven Hill makes great bourbon, and that while Parker's Heritage is a step above the others (more flavors, better mouthfeel, and longer finish, overall better balance), the other bourbons are no slouches. So yes you can buy a lot of Heaven Hill bourbon for $129.99! This would be a good choice if you are new to bourbon, buying many bottles from $20-30 will give you a great education as well as a lot of fun. However, Parker's Heritage Promise of Hope was a limited bottling and is hard to find, if not sold out. With all that said, if it were me, I'd ask the store if they would go down in the price a bit, and buy that. My reasoning is that you can always find Elijah Craig 12 or Evan Williams Single Barrel, but Promise of Hope not so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tucker Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Not a bad deal at allThat was the price I paid 4-5 years ago and I thought it was a good deal back then. That would be a difficult pass for me right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
