PowderKeg Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Only 6 at the moment: OWA, RHF, and ETL OF BiB, 1792 RR (8 yr AS) and EC12 in handles W12 and VSOF top the want list if they ever materialize again in my lifetime, and at reasonable pricing - I flat refuse to reward a gouger, no matter how bad I'm Jones'n for 'em.

$helby Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 WLW, OWA and 10 375 bottles of Blantons that VABC had for $25. Weird that they had the 750s priced at $57! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhereIsMyOldAccount Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 If ETL and ECBP were under $50 I'd stock on those but they tend to be double that. I don't stock any BT products mostly because I can't find any. Except for BT @$25 and ER @ $40. So for under $50 I just stock up on whatever is on sale. When KC went to the screw cap and then back to cork they blew out the cap versions for $20 + 10% off per case so I snagged a few cases. WT goes on sale for $13 so again I snag a couple cases. OGD114 was on clearance for $20 so I bought all 4. Eveything else I don't bother buying back ups since they are commonly available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly would have bunkered more of the 1792 pick, but the GBS was talking about maybe doing a 1792 pick (which we did - coming soon!) so I didn't go crazy there. I'm now in the process of trying to hold back on acquisitions to align with consumption, so other than private picks and some special bottles, probably not adding more in this category. Hi just wondering where you purchased the Lot 40 (1990's release)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clingman71 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 OWA, ER, ETL(Comm), ORVW(all mine are <$50), McKenna BiB, and WT RRSB - just over $50 Also, Laphroaig 10, Ardbeg 10 for Islay and Real McCoy 12 LE for rum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madhatter Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I have a fair number of backups, but they tend to be pricier than $50. The under 50's that I'm glad I had the foresight to buy in multiples are Weller 12 and Old Weller 107 Antique. As recently as 2014 I could have those two shipped to me from Specs in Houston. They were right there on their website; order as many as you want; both mid-20's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry in WashDC Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Time to update, I guess. Like Paddy in July 2016, I started picking up doubles of BIBs when I only need one so I always have multiples of VOB BIB (still spottily available so still spottily purchased) and OGD BIB (just so I don't have to go to the store all the time). Most of my bunkered Bookers were under $50 (barely) so I don't buy Bookers at all now. I've added JB BIB to the "keep a spare or three" list. BT has been available most of the time for over a year now, so while I keep one or two in the bunker, I don't sweat it when I'm down to zero in there. I have one unopened EC 12 yr in there; it will not be replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyfish Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 EC12--I also have NAS for current consumption. Saving the 12Y0 for???? BT--once readily available, now I buy it when I see it Stagg Jr--impossible to find in OH so I stock up when we travel Booker's--got scared by rumors of $99 so bought more at half price AAA10YO--Just a couple left. Sometimes rumors turn out to be true VOB6YO--Well, not really. Got impatient and drank them all KC9YO--Saw one in MT recently for $40+. Have a couple left and some NAS. So far Beam is doing a decent job of matching the profile. Regrets, I've had few, but still too few to mention: ETL--Wish I had bought more back when only SBers knew about it. Use to sit on the shelves and seemed readily available. Sigh. OWA also fits in this category. I have one unopened bottle of Blanton's--which is starting to make me nervous.

Radioyada Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 There is only one bourbon under $50.00 that I have a back up of, and that is the CEHT SmB. There are 4 stores near me that have good enough inventory to make it easy to find almost anything else at decent to good prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vismatt Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 These are the ones I currently have lots of backups of due to scarcity or fear of running out. Weller 12 (I will buy as many bottles as I can whenever I see this available - which has been a LOT less as of late) Stagg Jr. Rebel Yell 10 year (really liked the first batch and bought a case. Haven't tried batch 2 yet, but I bought a few bottles because I liked batch 1 so much) Blantons (getting harder to find, so I will normally buy a couple when I see them) 1792 Full Proof (really enjoying this lately, and have been able to pick up some good single barrel selections from some stores around me) Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Smooth Ambler Old Scout Single Barrel Old Weller Antique Very Old Barton Bottled in Bond (quality pour at a ridiculously low price - Have been fairly easy to find near me in the last couple of years) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueby Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 (edited) OWA..at least 12 WSR..4 or 5 Stagg Jr..4 or 5..I've mostly stopped bunkering this as a store I frequent has had it on the shelf at $43.75 for the last year now. ER10..I'm down to 2 or 3 and I've stopped bunkering given recent availability. I'll just wait till I'm out and pick up another. ETL..5 ECBP..5 (1 batch 11, 2 batch 12, 2 A117) Have 2 or 3 EC12ASOB also. OGD114..4..I was bitten by the "it's gone forever" bug I have one open bottle and 1 full bottle of W12. I would bunker it if I could find it. There are a few more I have at least a couple of. Edit..Just noticed that it was under $50. The ECBP doesn't qualify. They were all $60+.

HH6BIB, EC12 and NAS, EC Single Barrel private picks, HMcK, ECBP (back when it was 49.99), RY10 (before price increase), Pikesville 110 - check. WT101, WTRB, RR10yr - check 4RSmB, 4RSiB - check OFSiB - check KC9yr, KCSiB (so many), OGDBIB, OGD114 - check 1792 SW, 1792 HR, 1792 FP - check I probably forgot some. I may have a problem.
