I'm just making do with what I can find here. I'm sure I would appreciate Blanton's, and there are plenty of bourbon's I would love to try. But I sincerely doubt I would find that the value is there for me. There are plenty of $40 bourbons I love. I did get a Hancock's Presidential Reserve a few month or so ago and it's a nice bourbon, but there are others I prefer for the price. The consumer in me who is interested enough in bourbon to frequent bourbon websites wants to try everything, but my wallet does not agree! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be time for a road trip to texas I'm in the Arizona Bourbon Society facebook group (non trading bourbon group) and I'm jealous of the stuff they get up in Phoenix compared to Tucson. The only stores I've found in Tucson that do any barrel picks is Total Wine and BevMo, and with them you never know who is doing the picking!

Looks like its he commanders select 8yr. I checked 4 sites and tthey all were very expensive like your guy said. I cant imagine paying that much for anything. Seems a little gimmicky like the Abraham Lincoln bourbon with a cork made from a tree on “his farm”. Or the George Patton bourbon. Both ridiculously overpriced and both from Boundaty Oak. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TunnelTiger Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 It's just great marketing. There was probably more cost in the development of the label and packaging than in the purchase of the sourced bourbon. It's worth what someone wants to pay for it but that has nothing to do with quality, value or taste. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offense intended but no one served in 9/11, this bottle irks me it hits too close to home and I have no interest in owning any portion of WTC and I certainly don't want to drink from a bottle crafted from it's remnants. I respect the servicemen who created the brand and their service but that's about it for me on this one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I respect the servicemen who created the brand and their service but that's about it for me on this one. I have no interest in this bottle and it seems to be horrifically overpriced, the claim isn’t about “served in 9/11”. The reference is to a US special forces group that rode horses and was deployed to fight the Taliban and al Qaeda in some of the initial US responses after 9/11. This part is 100% true. Some of you also may have seen a movie that was made about this group which starred Chris Hemsworth. https://www-m.cnn.com/2011/10/06/us/afghanistan-horse-soldiers-memorial/index.html?r=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F Again, not saying I support the pricing of the bottle in question or that I have any knowledge of the juice being good or not, and I like to bash shady NDPs as much as anyone, but this is a real thing being recognized by this brand and I do fully respect this fairly unique piece of US military history.

Clueby Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Stopped in a store tonight that looks like it was freshly remodeled with new owners. Had a good selection (Blantons, baby Saz, CEHTSmB, ER10, WSR, etc.). Everything was about $5 to $10 overpriced so wasn't too terrible but nothing I really needed for the price. The only one way over priced was Stagg Jr. for $75. He had a TON of WSR for $24 and some 1.75s as well. I grabbed a cola from the case and made a bit of small talk and I asked him about the Weller and if he got any OWA. He said no, because "Weller is going out of business". I told him I didn't there was any danger of that happening and he told me that was why he was stockpiling it..because he wouldn't be able to get it any longer. He showed me the back room and he had probably 20 cases of it stacked up. Huh!?!? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
