b1gcountry Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Last I saw the 200ml was $1.50 cheaper than the 750... Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't try it neat, but 50-50 with Coke and ice OR 2 oz. JBW to 4 oz. apple sauce you can't go wrong. 50 years of legal drinking says so. EDIT - Oh, and it comes in 50 mls and 200 mls, too. Maybe if it's on sale . . . Thanks Harry. I may go back and get a couple for company. A teaspoon of spring water is the extent of my mixing with either single malts or bourbon.

Paddy Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I'd buy a case of that JBW and blend it 50/50 with KCSB. That'd make a lot of damn good bourbon at a great price! On topic and of note: Passed on Blood Oath last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golzee Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Passed on Baby Saz for $50, and a Handy for $349.99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1gcountry Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I probably have a lifetime supply of jbw in the one 750 I have. I use it for cooking but not much else. I just prefer other stuff. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleCBreese Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Passed on the KC2001 and Booker's Rye. They've both been sitting there over a week at a store that generally moves limiteds. I'll wait at least another few weeks and if they're still there, I might grab one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having had a bottle that was exemplary, a few that were OK, and one that was sub-drinkable; I'm not buying any more of their high-priced stuff.

PowderKeg Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Saw VSOF 12yr on a shelf for the first time, but the $60 sticker killed the joy. Was sitting a few bottles down from a Rhetoric at $200 and a Forged Oak at $150. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all a matter of perspective I guess, but I don't see any Old Fitz around mid MO anymore and to the best of my recollection I haven't ever had the chance to grab a bottle of VSOF 12 at all so in my current state of desperation I'd probably give in and pay $60 if I ever saw it for that!

Charlutz Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Passed on ECBP at $55. I stocked up early in this release run and even passed on a few bottles for friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacket Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Passed on Angel's Envy Cask Strength Bourbon (2015) for $179. It's nice to see one sitting on the shelve, but that's not a price I can stomach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacket Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 It's funny for me to see the folks that are passing on KC 2001 for 129 (or similar) - I'd like to actually see one on the shelf around here. 2001 is a special year in my house so I'd be fine with picking one up in a "save for later" fashion. But I'm looking at secondary prices 'cause they ain't showing up around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passed on the blantons I have a couple in the bunker and left it for another lucky soul. The pikesville is pretty readily available at that price around here (knock on wood).

kcgumbohead Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Not bourbon but for our Irish whiskey enthusiasts I passed on RB12 (standard not cask strength) for 50.00. There are cases of it at a store near me. PM if interested and I can point you to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spade Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Passed on just about the entire 1792 lineup: port finish, single barrel, and full proof. I'm tempted to pick up the full proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm tempted to pick up the full proof. Just curious, what was the price on the full proof? I passed on one-of-a-kind store selection of a 2-year old bourbon aged in napa wine barrels. I won't name the store or distillery, although the distillery is developing a large presence in Indiana. Almost every major retailer in Indy now has a store selection from this distillery. I understand the special wine finishing and the cost of producing the bourbon, but I can't see paying $99.99 for a 2-year old bourbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spade Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 The full proof was $44. A good price for what is reportedly an eight year at almost barrel proof. I'm on the fence because stuff from Barton is sometimes just on the threshold of being too sweet for me depending on my mood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverc Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Passed on KC 2001 for $200, Hirsch American Whiskey 20 year for $80, age stated (on back) EC12 for $40, and even Abraham Bowman Release 14 Wheated Bourbon at $85 (although I may regret that since I doubt I will get the VA ABC Lottery for it at $70.)

whiskey buyer Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 I manage the liquor department at the store I work at. We managed to get a shipment of some of the harder to find whiskeys. I had the opportunity to purchase Col. EH Taylor barrel proof, their single barrel. I could have also purchased a bottle of Elmer T Lee, but choose to buy the CEHT small batch. It was a hard decision between the Lee and the Taylor, but in the end I passed on the Lee. The Taylor was 40.00 the Lee was 37.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlutz Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 (edited) I'm in Sheboygan, WI for a wedding. I wandered into a store that didn't look like much from the outside but had an extensive selection of very nice whiskies including van winkles and BTAC but way overpriced. They weren't so expensive as to be unrealistic. Just very expensive. Someone will buy these. Some of the ones I passed on, all a few deep on the shelf, OWA at $45, W12 at $129, EHT BP at $140 and Elliot's Select at $200. It was particularly frustrating given that two SB members had referred me to stores in Milwaukee where the selection was more ordinary but the prices were significantly cheaper than what I see at home. E.g, FRSiB at $32 where at home it's $43. Oh well. Edited July 3, 2016 by Charlutz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
