Hop Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Passing on a lot of Jeffs Ocean. That stuff is all over the place but never interested me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old_timer Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Got excited when I saw ETL, PHC9, OFBB, and Stagg Jr at a new local spot. All were 3x retail so I walked out. Don't see that kind of markup in TX very often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UGARedDawg Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 He's probably right, Rad. A local store last year had OFBB 2014 at $120 (double msrp) and when I asked him, he said someone would eventually pay that for it. Fast forward a year and someone did. A shame....

GAbiker Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 That's the MSRP for the Master's Keep. Not a bad price.Passed on WT Masters Keep for $149,99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravensfire Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Saw a couple of PHC Malt Whiskey bottles for $80. Couldn't pull the trigger at that price on something I'm not sure about. Shelves around town are starting to get bare of the reasonable stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hop Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 That's a very good price on this years release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjbeggs Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Ran across some PHC9 myself yesterday, and was going to grab one for a buddy (I already have one), until I found out they were asking $240. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleCBreese Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I too passed on WTMK at $150 in MD. With the mixed reviews, I will wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul W Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I have never tasted any VW products and at this rate I never will. And I am OK with that. I can drink OWA and W12 and call it close enough. And while I want to try S-W distillate someday, I am not going to pay $85 for a dram of PVW23 that may or may not be all S-W and, even if it is, may not be a good expression of the breed in any event. Again, found a local restaurant that had VW products for sale and, again, passed since the prices for the ones I care about are just beyond my tolerance for a single dram of anything.

Sluggo Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Passed on PHC9 for $99.99. I already had one that I over paid for while shopping in Kentucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golzee Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Thought that I had found a bottle of Old Fitz BIB, however, it was the prime. I have yet to try Old Fitz, but, I will hold out until the BIB. Is this a mistake? It was pretty cheap, but, I think I would rather spend the extra $5 and get a bottle of Larceny (if I wanted a wheater). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squire Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Yeah, I'd go with Larceny in that range. HH makes a lot of wheat mash whisky and I've long thought the Old Fitz Prime was a lower pick/price shelf filler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louisiana Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I left 3 bottles of PHC9 on the shelf today. I left 2 at another store a couple of weeks ago.Have been buying to much other stuff lately that I know is really good for cheaper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fjr1606 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Passed on John E Fitzgerald. Too pricey for me, especially for a 375. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccleve23 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I passed on Parker's Malt for 109 and the 2015 4R SmB LE for 149. Tempted by the 4R because this is the first time I have ever seen it on the shelf in MD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnybogey Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I passed on Parker's Malt for 109 and the 2015 4R SmB LE for 149. Tempted by the 4R because this is the first time I have ever seen it on the shelf in MD.Man, the force is strong in you. I would have crumbled and sheepishly handed over my credit card. LOL. MSRP is around $119 so I guess it's not way off considering some secondary prices these days. Another reason is it seems like NY never sees a big allocation of this (except for NYC). My guess is, because 4R only has bourbon, most small mom and pop shops aren't pushing enough of it to warrant an allocation of the LE's unlike someone like BT that has products across the spectrum.I've been hearing good things about the '15 4R Smb LE, much better than the '14.Good luck and hope you can score a bottle closer to MSRP.

johnnybogey Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 It's those two kids in daycare that keeps me from spending.Nah, I hear ya. You did the right thing. After posting my reply, I kinda came to my senses. personally, I've gone a little over board in the past few months. I mean, up until last year, I could not have imagined paying over $75 for alcohol!!!I always try to remind myself that there is plenty of fine juice for much cheaper like standard four roses offerings, SAOS, HW, etc....If I happen to stumble on a bottle at a reasonable price, will be sure to send you a sample.CheersJohn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dSculptor Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Passed on a OFBB 15 @ $100 just too much money for that bourbon, I've got a 07,and a 14 bunkered, would of been nice to add to them, but not at that price, too many other good ones out there for less. I guess everyone is jumping on the band wagon these days..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
