Yeah, well, most of the liquor stores are owned by Indian immigrants who don't seem interested in selling at a fair price. They pretty much have a monopoly here in Middle GA and rarely do you see good deals. Edited January 21, 2017 by starhopper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flahute Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I'm happy to say that I'm passing on everything! I'm trying to stay purchase free for the entire month of January. I always end up buying so much in December each year as that's limited edition season out here. I always buy something in my favorite stores when I'm in there asking about the LE's. If I'm going to be one of the many voices asking for an update on the LE's, I'm at least going to make it worth their while with a purchase. They tend to remember that and reward me. So my cupboards are bursting with recent purchases that I'm trying to drink down. So far, so good. 11 days to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddy Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I'm seeing a lot of age stated KC on the ground in FL. They're pretty much all gone in KY. You FL boys better start stepping up your game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk about the price. Can't remember last time I saw a 101 rye. Do you like WT101 Rye? If you do, go back and buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I love the Russell's Reserve 6 Year Rye...a lot. I have never had the 101 Rye but have heard good things... At my Binnny's they're charing 44.99... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanstaafl2 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 If it is the new label of 101 Rye it has been a 1 liter bottle only that I have seen since it returned so worth figuring that into your decision. $33 is a pretty good price here as memory serves. Typically more of a high $30's range I think. Can't speak to Chicago area prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clueby Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Stopped in a little strip mall place at lunchtime that I had not been in before. They had the standard/generic stuff on the shelves but high on a shelf behind the counter there were some higher end Scotch and a few bourbon. The only one that stood out was a CEHT Single Barrel for $69 which wasn't a terrible price but I already have one so I passed. The clerk (owner?) asked what I was looking for. I told him I was looking for any unique or old bottles of bourbon. He said he did have "the Weller". I asked which one and he said Antique. I asked how much is that going for? "$90" I said that was way too rich for my blood. He said he also had "the Gifted Horse" but it is a lot more than $90. ?!?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't see a price on it but it was in the "high roller" room. Never heard of it and I like that it has an age statement but I can't help but think of Bird Dog as a bottle shelf because that's where I always see the flavored stuff. Is this one any good? I bought a bottle because a buddy said it was supposed to be really good, being aged 10 years. To me it's not worth the $39.99 price. It tastes fairly young and definitely very alcohol forward. It's been about a month since I opened it, so I may have to go back to it again. But overall very average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hop Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Passed on quite a bit today some just because I'm well stocked like BT for $24 and others because of price etc... WPBH, IWH15 for $180 and $80 at different locations, Rhetoric at $499 :-0, Gifted Horse at $60, PHC10 at $350, just to name a few Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it's MSRP was around $59.99. From my post above, the clerk at the store I went to today said his GH was "a lot more than $90" but wouldn't name his price because he knew I wasn't going to pay it. He was really pushing the Three Rangers Single Barrel Rye but I didn't even bother to get a price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Special Reserve has shown up @ Illinois Binny's for 24.95 -- limit one bottle per customer. I am guessing they have the 107 too -- somewhere...

FacePlant Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Took a pass on Hancock at $50 and 1792 SB at $40. Already got a few. However I said yes to the 1792 FP at $45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of our local stores got their OWA barrel select in...for $70/bottle. I still have one Binny's OWA from a couple years ago that I haven't opened. I had a second that I finished. It was several notches better than a regular OWA. Think standard OWA profile, just ramped up. More sweetness, more spice, more everything. It was delicious.

My friend an email from another store that had theirs for $29.99 and to email them back to reserve yours..1 bottle limit. It was email list only distribution and they were honoring the reservations in the order received. He replied immediately upon receipt of the email and was told they were already sold out.

"We don't know what you're talking about.... or our secret room... and we never get any of what you're looking for...ever.... but have you tried (insert crappy whiskey name here)....its just as good as whatever you asked about..." I guess I can't be too hard on them though. They did pick an amazing 4R OESV last year that I've been enjoying the heck out of.

I love the one bottle of Weller 12 I have, but I think I actually prefer that cinnamon note on the 107. I'd love to taste an even better version of *that* flavor profile.
