P&MLiquorsEric Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 It's amazing how this thread has evolved over a couple years. Used to be mostly limited bottles mentioned. Now it's crazy prices or everyday bottles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TunnelTiger Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Since I made the mistake of doing a physical inventory I'm limiting my Dec purchases to one bottle a week. Therefore I will be passing up numerous bottles for the month. My last visit to a stoare was last Friday and since that was still November I did pick up two bottles.

KyleCBreese Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Saw a Woodford Four Wood, but with all of the generally negative reviews for all things Woodford MC, it was a pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hop Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Passed on the Beam cask finished at 199 probably not a bad price since it's state controlled but I'm not putting that much into something I have no taste experience with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
393foureyedfox Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 WFE 7 year barrel proof rye at 114 proof for $90. some here may think that is reasonable, but not me. maybe $60 would be reasonable. Is $90 the going rate around the country for this now?I wasnt looking to buy anything anyway. I was going in to the grocery, and louisville's second largest chain was literally next door, so I walked in to see if there was anything new, or to see what holiday gift boxes were out this year. Lots of reasonable bourbon giftboxes containing glasses, flasks, or samples of sister bottlings at decent prices from MM, KC, 4R, WT, etc. the KC with 50ml sister bottles of KC rye and KC maple was tempting....but like I said, I had no intention to buy anything anyway.

bmajazz Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I don't participate in the secondary market but I watch it and there are enthusiasts who sell/trade bottles from deep bunkers and/or recent purchases. There are enthusiasts who buy three Staggs and sell one to pay for the other two. Honestly I can't say I wouldn't be tempted to do the same. Imagine finding the full VW lineup available at MSRP, fat chance I know, and knowing you could buy it all and flip the 23 covering your cost and leaving extra money in your pocket. Hard for a guy like me with limited funds to turn that down. It's a dick move in that it takes a 23 at MSRP away from a guy who wants it but it allows me to fund my hobby. Tough call. Can't be an angel all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Tot Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 The more hot air we force into it the harder the bubble will burst, and we won't have to point fingers at each other anymore because there won't be a worthwhile secondary market left. It can't happen too soon for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul W Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 In San Francisco today. Passed on PHC8 at 199 and WT12 in the gold tube for 299. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garbanzobean Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Passed on numerous WT Diamond and some hyper inflated Van Winkle stuff, as well as $600 BTAC bottles. Most entertaining price of the night wasn't bourbon, but still worth listing for big laffs: Black Maple Hill Oregon Rye for $169.99. And Willett XCF or whatever for $148.

Cards fan Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Wow, that is the lowest price I have heard of for the XCF. But I would have passed as well.Best regards, TonyMy buddies brother bought a case of XCF that was priced to sell at $35. Seems to have been marked at the Willett bourbon price point. I haven't been that lucky myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He grabbed the JB and a glass without answering, so I then asked, "Do you have anything else?" He didn't, so I opted for wine instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
