The 375's are regularly $49.99, on sale for $14.99. Still won't buy any. Whoa! That markdown is quite the indictment. I had the red wheat at a friend's house and thought it was pretty good. Not $100 good for 750ml though. I never bought one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garbanzobean Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Passed on Barrell 9yr, 13yr, and a new release: New Year (I think that is the name). According to my whiskey monger, it is a blend of bourbons from TN, IN, and KY. So Dickel, MGP, and ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbroo5880i Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 (edited) I didn't pass on any bourbon today since retail alcohol sales are not legal in Indiana on Sundays. However, I wanted to share that I passed on buying a new pillow at Kohl's with a MSRP of $179.99. It was on sale for $89.99 and I did have some Kohl's cash so it would have been about $40 out-the-door. I share this story because much like $300 bottles of bourbon, I never imagined almost $200 pillows in a store like Kohl's. I realize no one ever pays the MSRP at Kohl's but it was still a mind blower. What if MSRP for Booker's Rye was $300 but a retailer offered it for $150 would that make the price more reasonable? To keep this on topic, I passed a lot of standard stuff at Wal-Mart yesterday. I didn't check the prices. I never do since I don't buy there.

That must be one heck of a pillow. I'd give Booker's Rye a whirl at $150. I've passed on everything so far in January. I'm hoping to go the whole month without a purchase. We'll see. I tried to do the same last year and didn't make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are 375ml bottles so they want a mere $10k equivalent for 750ml? Amazing, especially when it was a $300 MSRP bottle, and the reviews have not even been very good on average.....

robertckim Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Local liquor store chain has a few bottles of blanton's behind the glass for ... $190?!?!? I kept looking at it to see if it was anything special, didn't seem like it. That's just crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mosugoji64 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Passed on WSR for $31 and a dusty bottle of Origine bourbon that has obviously been around for a while. Instead, picked up an older orange-capped OGD BIB. Seemed like the better choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limegoldconvertible68 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 I passed on Colville 5 yr old for $19.99 and Calumet Farms for $44.95. I don't know anything about either and I'm tired of buying unknowns that I end up feeling like I over paid or just plain don't like them. The CF calls itself bourbon whiskey and says it's a product of Kentucky which is odd enough to make me think something is fishy about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard, since the namesake is a well-known thoroughbred stable, that each barrel has a small amount of horse-piss added to each batch before bottling, gathered from an acclaimed stakes winner (The horse can't be named, of course due to ownership royalty agreements). But, so unique due to this additive that the upcharge is well worth it. ...I'm told. ...Just sayin'..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bourbs bro Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 The other day I went to a mom/pop in the boonies I've never been to before. had some interesting stuff. Had like 5-6 bottles of rockhill farms. I have never seen it before here. it was 64.99 I might not have even realized what it was, but I had just earlier that day saw someone's bunker photo that had like 10 bottles of RHF and I wasn't aware of what it even was. This store also had a dusty handle of EC12 so I grabbed that, but I just noted to check the prices later of RHF (it didn't feel like it was in any danger at this store). I searched around and saw some people comparing it to hancock's reserve. I haven't tried that yet because it is always in stock at totalwine here, although I plan to some day. is RHF worth grabbing at 64.99? from what I gathered searching around, that's not a super great price and opinions seemed to be either totally in love with it or just meh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlutz Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I'm in the minority on the board but I dislike HPR. It does not taste to me like the same mashbill as RHF, Blanton's or ETL even though it is. I love RHF and ETL and like Blanton's a lot though not as much as the other two. I'd buy RHF all day but try to get it under $60. If I couldn't, I'd buy at $65. My next taste of HPR will come from someone else's bottle to see if I like it, but I won't buy it again until I have a chance to revisit on someone else's purchase.

I had one bottle a couple years ago. I remember liking it, but not loving it. The 88.9 proof seemed kinda goofy to me along with the fact that BT doesn't mention it on their website... I just bought another in November, a PS from Liquor Barn. I haven't opened it yet, but I'm looking forward to revisiting it as a PS. I have a difficult time with that proof at $40 tho...

emr454 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Passed on Stagg Jr at $48.99 only because I was more focused on the OGD 114. ECBP was out of stock but the sign said $48.99. First time I've seen either of these bourbons at a reasonable price. I hope to find them both there next time I can get back to that store Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
