Hop Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Passed on all versions of 2016 BTAC, Kentucky Owl, Stagg Jr, ECBP, Blood Oath Pact 2, and a few others - the lowest price on BTAC was $499.99 so of course it was an easy pass... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure that he meant that the W12 and OWA were big jugs. I interpreted the post to mean that the WSR was a big jug and the others were standard fifths. I'd probably pass on all but maybe the W12 at those prices if I interpreted it correctly. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the tip, I should probably check availability at the Bloomington IL store first. I usually make a trip every month or two for an excellent restaurant and microbrewery (stopping by Binny's as well, of course) but have not had the time recently.

KyleCBreese Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Passed on a full lineup of BTAC and PVW, ranging anywhere from $300 for the THH and $2,000 for the PVW20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbroo5880i Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 (edited) Passed on OF1920 for $51.99 at Costco. Passing on it isn't really noteworthy. What was noteworthy is they had close to 10 cases of it. Interesting that this Costco has a new release of a currently limited whiskey, much less in that quantity. I passed because I already have a bottle. Edited October 22, 2016 by mbroo5880i Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bourbonmakesmepoop Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 I as well passed on old forester 1920 for $50 but only because there was eagle rare for $25, and that I just could not pass up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlutz Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Passed on the PHC24 for $500. The store had 3 or 4 bottles. They also had OWA for $38. Have yet to see W12 here in MD and am jealous of our TX, NC and GA brothers who seem to be able to find it on shelves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Journeyman Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 There were several different recipes of FRSB PS at a Total Wines in Washington state that I would have liked to have in the collection--especially the OESQ and OBSQ--but with taxes, they were $99 each. I can get FRSB PS for $65 at home in Oregon, so I'll be patient and hope for these recipes to pop up in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw this in a Costco in Louisville as well - they had a larger selection of Bourbon than I'd every seen in their liquor department including Booker's at $39.99 for the latest release.

Tanger11 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 I passed on an OWA for $60. I don't see it often but I'm not going to pay over double for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Individual bottles sneak through every now and then. Montgomery County got some a year or two ago. The last time I saw any was at Pine Orchard Liquors earlier this year, but the owner was selling it for $85 or so. We get OWA in irregularly. Finding it at MSRP these days is doable, if not as easy as it used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OWA shows up on shelves occasionally here in NC, but W12 is strictly lottery or email list only. I've never seen one actually make it out on the shelf.

I passed because I already have a bottle. But OF1920 is not a limited release. It's just the newest in their Whiskey Row series which is a standard release and will not be hard to find. That's what I understand anyway, I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been looking for years and have only had it in bars. Total Wine got some last year that they held behind the counter, but I didn't learn that until I asked this year. They have no idea if or when they'll get it this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May I ask why, I just tried some last week at the distillery and in my opinion its the best one yet, they received a higher quality of port barrel for finishing and the flavor is awesome.

If you haven't tried MWND, I think you should at least find a pour to try at a bar before blowing it off as a low quality NDP. I can't claim that this is fact, but I believe that this is one of the most highly regarded NDPs out there. And if if you don't like NDPs just because they're NDPs, I hope you don't plan on buying any of the Van Winkle products this year, any Michters, any Smooth Ambler (besides Yearling), any Willett Family Estate bottles (besides the 2/3 rye), any Bulleit products, Dickel rye, any Orphan Barrel products, Barrell Bourbon or Whiskey, etc., etc., etc........... Any store you go into these days might have more NDP labels than non-NDP labels. Some are good. Some aren't. Some are honest. Some aren't. I hope we can all be consistent about our views on them. It seems like everyone bashes them but also buys many labels listed above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdie Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 I agree $80 does get you a whole bunch of other choices.......I have a feeling in a few months $80 (if you like the product) will seem like a good deal, around here (CO) it rarely makes it to the shelf.
