Charlutz Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 ETL for $80. Owner said he had to buy a bunch of crap to get it; they only gave him 3 bottles in a year and it was the last one. I still wouldn't buy it, but if all that was true don't begrudge him. Same place I passed on THH for $500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlutz Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Passed on CEHT BP for $63 after coupon. Hard to pass at that price but I already have a mostly full bottle at home and also had two bottles of other whiskey that I was bringing to the register. Also passed on Weller Special Reserve for $27 after 10% coupon. I have a couple of 1.75s at home and paid a lot less for them by volume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't have passed on the CEHT BP. $63 is a great price and CEHT BP is a very good bourbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry in WashDC Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 FWIW, when I see CEHT of any kind here, it's in the $80s. Just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevener Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Passed on a ORVP, at $499.99, a lot B at $599.99 and a Pappy 23 at, wait for it... $4500.00 All in a locked display case. Incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louisiana Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 That's unfortunate Harry. Shows how prices vary so much by location. The last bottles of EHTBP I bought were $58 per. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeTen Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Passed on an EHTBP at $74.99, a 4yr Willet at $70.99, and a 6yr Willet at $83.99 a couple of days ago. And we don't pay taxes on spirits, wine or beer here in Taxachusetts! TTFN, F. 8-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonutsNBourbon Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 that's a great price for CEHTBP, and I had just passed on the CEHTSB today for $65. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hop Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Passed on Trails End in a store today - hadn't seen or heard of this before so it was an easy pass. Price was $59 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOwhisky4me Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Passed on MMCS on sale for $44 today. Haven't tried it yet, so was hesitant even at the sale price. Typical price around here is around $55... Thinking I might need to go back by and grab a bottle though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonutsNBourbon Posted January 19, 2016 Author Share Posted January 19, 2016 at that price it's worth it to me, the bottles I've had have been excellent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fozzy71 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I think I paid $35 for the 375ml of MMCS I had last summer/fall. I would have had to break my buying hiatus for that price I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swoboda Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Local shop has FRSiB in their weekly ad for $31.88 . . . man, if I didn't already have a few in the basement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's about what my Sam's Club sells FRSB for. And that is one reason why I have too many in the bunker to buy any more right now. At Binny's this weekend I passed on a couple things that were really tempting: HW Bourye on sale for $70 - have wanted to try this for a while now that it is available again SA Contradiction for $55 - I enjoy all SA offerings I have tried but I decided to wait for a non-vatted release of their own wheated recipe Jim Beam Red Wheat/Brown Rice for $40 each - I appreciate the experimentation and enjoy the Beam profile but I still think $40 (down from $50 that I've seen) for 375mL is steep for me Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swoboda Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Costco had EHTSmB today for $36.99 . . . passed since we have some on hand. First time I've seen EHT there. I like the idea of them carrying a selection of BT products . . . they also had EHT Rye for $59.99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I passed on a couple bottles of Act 3-2 the other night for $80. I still have 2 bottles from the last release and one 3-2 I picked up recently. And an open bottle, which I may have to visit tonight.
