SebastianLloyd Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Any words on the 1792 port finished whisky? My liquor store got a few bottles and I wanna know if it's worth a buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jp_stargazer Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 I was near one of the stores I frequent after a doctor's appointment finished earlier than expected so I stopped in. I passed on everything, despite my urge to grab another EC12 at $26. I noticed there were several 1792 Sweet Wheat bottles and some ETL in the office with notes on them, reserved for customers (who were not me). I still haven't been able to secure a Sweet Wheat but life goes on. I have enough ETL in the bunker, thankfully. Still riding high on the fact that I procured a fair amount of Bell's Hopslam this week. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radsman13 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 (edited) Passed on Micther's 10yr for $169 and ECBP for $99. Agree, who needs secondary market when stores are trying to sell at or above secondary market prices. All is good though, have enough in the bunker to last for a good long while... Have actually made less and less trips to the store "just to see what is there" in the last couple months Edited February 9, 2016 by Radsman13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only I didn't have a weakness for expensive craft beer... Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babermac Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 mentally passed on the Michter's 10 Year Rye announced today, as I have done with all their releases. saving $150 never felt so good. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numismaniac Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Michter's Small Batch at $80, that's a 20 dollar jump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmossle Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Passed on a bottle of 2007 EWSB. I know HH paraded the 2006 version out a little early last year as it used to be a 10 year old vintage, but come on now! We are barely into 2016 and they are already rolling out the '07 stock? I guess it is only going to get worse before or if it gets better moving forward. I am guessing we will see the '08 versions on shelves before Christmas. I will try a post the pic I took tomorrow.

Hop Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Passed on Michters 10 for $119.99 today. Does this come in liter bottles? The bottle looked large in comparison to other Michters I've seen. I would have looked but it was behind the counter and I knew I wasn't buying it anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonutsNBourbon Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 passed on barrel bourbon batch #4, and picked up a binny's select 1792 (loving this stuff) and a larceny instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hop Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 yes that's it - I was surprised by the size - must be some thick glass... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbroo5880i Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I passed on a WTKS at $42. OK, I got that out of the way. I passed on another whiskey that I had never seen before and I am curious whether others know anything about it or have tried it - James E. Pepper Straight Rye Barrel Proof. It was around 117 proof and $37. I know it is from MGPI in Indiana. I was more curious about the age and flavor. There is very limited information on-line. It appears to be 3 to 4 years old, which is actually not bad for an MGPI rye. Willett had a pretty solid 4 year old version out a few years back for around $30. I know Bone Snapper has a 2 year old version (108 proof) for around $30. Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their basic rye is decent. I'd try barrel strength at that price at a minimum of 4 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffrey r Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Not bourbon, but passed on Baby Saz at $23.99 today. So hard to do, but I am well stocked at home already and simply don't need more. It is generally available closer to $29.99 around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
