Passed on a RHF for $60. Not a terrible price but I just recently got one for less.

I passed on RHF for $50 yesterday. I found a store with several bottles in NW Indiana. My pass was due in part to just being tired. I went to a store looking for something else and saw it on the shelf. I decided to try another store in the chain only a few miles away. I thought they might have what I was looking for and, probably RHF, as well. Unfortunately, they had neither. It had been a long day and traffic was heavy and I had long drive home so I didn't go back to the first store.

Passed on 2015 FRLESmB for $199. This is at a store I have been shopping at for over 10 years. He has never gouged me before until this. He also bragged about selling his Stagg Sr for $300 when earlier this year he told me he didn't get any. Officially done with this store - for good.

I passed on MMCS marked down @ $50 and change a 750ml. That's the best price I've seen so far. I still can't pull the trigger. I wish I could find a mini bottle of this.

RHF for $70... is that the normal price for it? never seen it before on the shelf, and wanted to pick it up, but not for $70. They also had Blanton's for $70 too... yikes!

Some ETL, since I have plenty in the bunker. But very nice to see it popping up in the Bay Area again after not seeing it for awhile.

If anyone in the East Bay is interested in picking up a bottle or two, PM me and I can tell you the store.

Passed up Blanton's Gold at 75 Pounds Sterling. I saw it at Selfridges, Hedonism, and another wine shop in London for all about the same price. They also had Straight From the Barrel there (it was more, I forget), but I passed that up too.

Since they only sold it in 700mL bottles, that's around $120 or so for a bottle of whiskey. I'd love to have a bottle to round out the collection, but not at those prices.

Also.

DEATH TO THE 70cL bottle! May it NEVER come to our shores!

Then by all means make an acquaintance. RHF has never been widely available and is still flying somewhat under the radar though the price seems to hover in the $50ish range. For me it's dryer and slightly more sophisticated compared to it's siblings. Bit of a better balance with the oak.

Bin, what exactly do you mean by that?

I mean like Thomas handy is btac version of sazerac and wlw is cash strength weller 12. If they release btac version of blantons, it would be like a sftb. It's so intense compared to regular blantons
