JT3NSB Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 23 minutes ago, Hop said: I usually go to this one but last year he didn't publish what he had or prices - couldn't fit into the store even after getting there a 1/2 hour early and after I heard the price for EC18 was $185 before tax I left immediately - this year I didn't even register Funniest thing was that of the "consolation" items several were available at the store within 1/4 mile for much less and sitting on the shelf... I just laughed and poured more RHF They lost some customers last night. It's a poorly run event for sure. Oh well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Missouri, every grocery store and gas station sells some form of beer, wine, and hard liquor every day of the week. I'm often frustrated when traveling at how hard it is to get a drink in some places... Passed on Michters 20 year yesterday @ $600.00 Just don't believe the juice is "that" good....especially when I can get Barterhouse for $80.00 Edited December 7, 2016 by 0895 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not a problem turn on your ability to receive messages. Thx. Hey MadHatter. I just saw this. I apologize for the late response. I can't see a way to private message so maybe Virtuoso is right and I need to post more in order to PM. Not sure if you can just post in the thread or not, but let me know I can give you my email if its really private. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SC free market pricing..... For the "lucky" 12 or so people of the 300: VW- 10 yr old 91.99 12 Spec Reserve 115.99 13yr Rye 170.99 15yr old 175.99 Pappy Van Winkle 20 yr 300.99 Pappy Van Winkle 23yr 529.99 A local store is having their annual raffle/lottery tonight, paired with a tasting. They limited it to 300 people. I've already seen like 5 requests on Facebook to buy someone else's tickets to the event. I like the way this store does it for the most part but at the same time, this will probably be the 3rd year I don't "win" anything. Anyway, here's their list: 24 - ELMER T LEE SINGLE BARREL 90 PROOF - $49.99 3 - EAGLE RARE 17YR OLD BOURBON 90 PROOF - $99.99 6 - GEORGE T STAGG BOURBON 144 PROOF - $99.99 7 - THOMAS HANDY SAZERAC STRAIGHT RYE WHISKEY 126 PROOF - $99.99 8 - WILLIAM LARUE WELLER BOURBON 135 PROOF - $99.99 2 - SAZERAC RYE 18 YEAR 90 PROOF - $99.99 25 - OLD RIP VAN WINKLE 10 YEAR 107 PROOF - $79.99 23 - VAN WINKLE 12 YEAR SPECIAL RESERVE LOT B 90 PROOF - $99.99 4 - VAN WINKLE 13 YEAR RYE FAMILY RESERVE PRIVATE STOCK 95 PROOF - $149.99 9 - PAPPY VAN WINKLE 15 YEAR FAMILY RESERVE 107 PROOF - $119.99 7 - PAPPY VAN WINKLE 20 YEAR - $229.99 7 - PAPPY VAN WINKLE 23 YEAR OLD FAMILY RESERVE - $399.99 I guess I'm putting this in the "passed" thread because, like I said, I likely will not get the chance to buy anything. Could really use that BTAC though. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravensfire Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Saw some HW Midwinter Nights Dram but at $100 just a touch too much right now. Got most of a bottle sitting on the bar so hopefully will see this elsewhere cheaper.Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalessin Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 (edited) I passed on a dozen WSR and dozen OWA at $22 and $27 respectively, because I was busy stocking up on $25 OGD 114 from one of my favorite stores. I bought three OGD 114 when the shelf was full on Wednesday evening. I returned Thursday for another four OGD 114, and all the Weller had sold out. LOL, I like OWA, but have a few already, and other buyers totally ignored the bottles of 114. Edited December 10, 2016 by Kalessin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man I hate to say this, but you need to get a bottle unless your already stocked. I'll admit to only paying $45 to $55 per bottle, but have also been putting these in the bunker for nearly 2 years. With all the "craziness" going on in bourbon right now $75 for ECBP still sounds good. Just my thoughts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueby Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Yeah, my last retail purchase was $65.99 plus tax some where between $70 and $75. I would have probably bit the bullett at that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a few bunkered at around $60 per bottle and would grab a few except for the fact that I think it will be harder to package them to ship/fly home. I forgot to take note of batch # except that I know it is not batch 12 (136 proof). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbroo5880i Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 (edited) I passed on that fancy bottle of Bulleit 10 located in the new glass case at the local Kroger. It is next to a few flavored whiskeys and blended scotches. Outside the case are several better and more expensive options. I suspect the stock clerk figured it was special because it is in a nice bottle. Sometime, I might ask them to open the case just so I can hold the bottle.

Kepler Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Passed on Wm Larue Weller at $400. Easy pass because of the ridiculous price, but still very disappointing because I was really hoping to score a bottle of WLW this year. The situation just gets worse every year ....

Larceny is a bit more refined but they're not dramatically different. I like them both but, sadly, neither are available here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most BIB are pretty solid though. As far as ECBP Batch 11. Pick it up! Very Good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limegoldconvertible68 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I passed on Toogies Invitation for $67.99. Couldn't find it for anything when I wanted it. Now that I'm PO'ed at Beam the darn thing turns up. Regardless, I don't think it's worth $67.99 let alone $100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
