What Bourbon did you pass up today? Spring/Summer 2015

[johnnyflake45]

Passed on some good deals and some new products to the area. Saving money for fall purchases.

OWA for $21

Contradiction for $58

EWSB2006 for $25

[latech15]

Passed on a Pappy 23 decanter.......at $9k.

If a website is a window to the World that's a slick introduction that manages to say very little about the product. Am I the only one or does that label have a "Beamish" sort of look.

It does have a "Beamish" kind of look. I believe it's obvious that if you create a great web site, a great label, and a purty bottle there is a lot of money to made selling craft whiskey.

Whether or not what is inside the bottle is any good doesn't really matter.

[Paddy]

Passed on IW Harper 15, RHF, EHT rye, Forgiven, as well as the regular ol' cats & dogs. Also passed on an 04 EWSB (bottle was one of the 10+ year olds). I was tempted, but already have run through enough of those. Interestingly, I didn't see an 05 anywhere...

[Golzee]

Passed on a few that were marked to move. Jim Beam Single Barrel $23. Dickel No. 1 $14 Clyde Mays $20. I will probably go back for the JB

[fozzy71]

^that is a great price on the JBSB. I think I have only had one bottle some months back and enjoyed it at ~$35.

[chasking]

Elmer T. Lee for $60. This is the only ETL I've seen on a shelf in a while, and I love ETL, but I have a pretty strong suspicion I'll be able to get it for rather less than that within the foreseeable future. If not, I can get Blanton's in that ballpark all day long, if I need a BT#2 fix.

[Renegator]

Stagg Jr. at $69.99. Interested in it but not at that price. Also passed on the Vanilla Bean infused Bowman. Not interested in that one.

[GAbiker]

Passed on a $89.99 Forged Oak, a $37.99 OWA and a $62.99 Blanton...

[Jazz Nut]

Passed on a $89.99 Forged Oak, a $37.99 OWA and a $62.99 Blanton...

BUMMER about the OWA!!! I think it's a great bourbon at $25 or less.

[bin31z]

Passed on Forged Oak at 79, ETL at 39, new EH Taylor BP at 79.

[Paddy]

WTD, RHF, MMCS (750's & 375's), HWRR and Forgiven:slappin:...

[Swoboda]

Passed on BMH Oregon Bourbon (and Rye) @ $77.99 . . . no thanks.

[barrel_proofer]

Did the Woodford Reserve tour yesterday, passed on all of their gift shop offerings. They had 2 gift shop only bottles that looked interesting, but not interesting enough to justify $50 for a 375ml.

I passed on a bottle of BT yesterday. Not because of the price either. I had the bottle in my hands and was getting ready to check out. I just decided I already had enough stuff in my bunker, plus I know I have a couple of other bottles headed my way in the near future. So, I sat the bottle on the counter and walked out of the store empty handed. :shocked:

Cheers! Joe

[squire]

Oh well, the trip itself is always worth it.

LOL! I have actually done the same thing, more than once, and never mentioned it, because I thought it was weird!

Cheers! Joe

[bearmark]

Passed on 3 bottles of EHT Barrel Proof at $99

[PaulO]

I passed up a group of different 4R single barrel store selections. I like it, but $59.99 is outside my comfort zone. I know that's about the going rate.

[Darwin]

Costco has WT101 handles but no 750, too much for me. Strange that they would have it but TW&M does not list it on their website, then again they don't list several stock items. :smiley_acbt:

[OldKentucky]

A bottle of W12 at $34.99. Seems like that is going to be the going rate around here. Hard to believe how much the price has gone up in the last 2-3 years.

I guess it's a matter of availability and perspective, but I'd be fumbling all over myself to get my wallet out if I saw W12 for that price here in Mid-MO! Heck, if I saw W12 at all I'd be a happy man!

[rcs86]

This was on Friday, but Wild Turkey Master's Keep at $189.

[jeffrey r]

Shelf-full of Stagg Jr. Batch 4 at $50 each. I love the stuff, but already have a few bottles of Batch 4 in reserve, so don't need to go overboard.

[OldKentucky]

It's rare to see it at any price around here currently. 3 years ago it was fairly easy to find at around $21 a bottle. Ive got several in the bunker and there are plenty of other bourbons in the $35 dollar price range that are just as good IMO.
