Special Reserve Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Passed on a CEHT BP at $105.99. I don't mind a 10% markup but 50%. Not buying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw some a couple of days ago for either $79.99 or $89.99. I still have a bottle from a year ago. I'm glad to see it around here though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louisiana Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Passed on ETL for $51.99 plus tax. One bottle limit! And I really enjoy this bourbon. Thankfully the bunker has plenty for later! Makes the decision to pass easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was discussing it with my main retailer yesterday, and he said if he was able to score any, he'd save me one at $160. I thanked him profusely, and begged him to pass this one onto someone else who he really likes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richnimrod Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Passed on 'Blood Oath' for umpteenth time (at any price). These have been brought down from the top shelf and placed conspicuously on the counter. Didn't make me reach the ole wallet, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kepler Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Yesterday passed on ECBP at 69.95. Also was at one store that had theirs marked up to $189.95 .... geeze what are they thinking. Also saw some ETL marked up about $25 over normal so passed on that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuttyFinish Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I keep passing on smooth amber contradiction, I loved everything I've ever tryed from them, has anyone smelled it yet and if so, should I stop staring at it, or shut up and buy it.

b1gcountry Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Breaking bourbon posted a review on it today. Their impression was it was unique, but not well integrated. The reality of the bottle is the straight MGP bourbon is the same thing in the old scout, and the wheat bourbon is their own distillate that isn't quite ready to be released on its own. I already decided to try it at a bar, but not pick up a bottle for myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeAndMyWhiskey Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I keep passing on Breaker Bourbon. From what I can find on the internet it seems to be a 5 year old bourbon contracted by a "craft distiller" in California. $55 asking price just seems too much to even give it a "go".

Postal Grunt Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I passed on WT101 for around $18.50, then I passed on MM at a low, low, low $19 and change. Finally, I had to put off Bernheim's Wheat at $29. All because I have a 1L bottle of WT Rye 101 sitting and waiting on the special order shelf down the road at a liquor store in Johnson County. I could easily afford any of the first three but since I'm trying to limit myself to buying only one bottle every two weeks or so, I have to choose the one that I haven't seen or tried before in this situation. The 1L bottle is priced competitively with the KC Rye 750ml that's in my cabinet today so I'm going to have to compare just for fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it's supposedly 7YO high rye from MGPI (Indiana) like SA uses in its SAOS and 2YO wheated bourbon SA distilled and aged. It's not bad for what it is at $50 per 750ml. However, I have one bottle of Contradiction but am now waiting for the promised release of SA's homemade 4YO wheated bourbon due out soon (i.e., the older Yearling which came out as a 375ml a few years ago). Uh, I think I got all that right, but don't bet on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be over 5yo before it is released. Whether it will be age stated like the Yearling (or their various MGP selections for that matter) remains to be seen.

Spade Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Passed on Rock Hill Farms at $70. At $60 I might have given it a thought, but $70 was an easy pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsangster Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 OWA at $39.99. Couldn't convince myself that its better than the 4 or 5 I already have that were considerably less expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
