OldFitzWithTheGoldLabel Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I passed on a Jefferson's Reserve ocean aged today for $83.99. I have never tried it, but am curious. Is it worth the money?It is not worth the money, but I have thoroughly enjoyed the tastes I've had from friends' bottles. I'd get a bottle for $50 or $60.Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a solid bourbon. I can't really say anything great or bad about it. It's a nice bourbon but doesn't really stand out in any way (especially given where the price normally sits).

I'd buy it for $30. It's a good bourbon, just not worth the usual asking price. Though lower proof at 80, it's a bit older than the OGD brands from the same mashbill.

Because the Va ABC only got 138 bottles of EC18 they put them out for sale by lottery - for $130 (I didn't win). And you saw 2 bottles sitting on the shelf at the msrp price and you passed?

theranman Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Yep, I guess I'm too cheap; I usually settle into the $20-$50 a bottle range. I already have two bottles of ECBP A117 that were about $53 each; is EC18 worth more than 2X the price of ECBP? Frankly I was a little shocked to find either here in Ohio.

I've never tried it before and I wasn't going to enter the lottery but another poster suggested some horse trading if I did but alas I didn't win.

I kind of have to agree that ECBP is a much better value to me as well. EC18 is perfectly fine, but dollar for dram, I'm gonna buy the ECBP every time.

lcpfratn Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Two bottles of EC18 at $130 each. Pricey, but that's much cheaper than the $199 price they sell them for in the Heaven Hill gift shop. I'm not too keen about buying one at $199, but I probably would have bought one of those at $130 just to try it and have it for comparison to other longer aged bourbon. ECBP is a decent value purchase now, but if pricing keeps creeping up, it won't be much longer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbroo5880i Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I was bored at lunch so I stopped in one of the local chain stores. They generally have a good selection but a little high on their prices. They had WTRB 116 on sale for $29.99. Their price is normally $44.99. I didn't find the previous version to be anything special. I believe I paid $34 for it. However, a BP bourbon from a major distiller for $29.99 is intriguing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 It's good to see a plethora of OGD 114 back on the shelves. I've been in TN the past few days, and every store around seems to have cases upon cases in the mid-20's range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vosgar Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 First time I'd ever seen these. I know Australia has had them for years, but now they're here? (or am I just out of the loop on this?) BTW, didn't buy any Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulO Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 I went to pick up beer at a local chain. I got sticker shock seeing WTRB and KC Rye both around $50. I left with the beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theiano Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I was in Ireland and stopped at the Celtic whiskey store in Dublin (a great store by the way) to see their bourbon/rye collection. They had an okay collection but everything is priced really high there, mostly due to the Irish import & alcohol taxes. Stagg junior @ around 120 euro. Eagle rare around 60 euro. Weller SR @ 90 euro. Elijah Craig 12 year (not the NAS) @ 99. I also saw an OGD 40 % ABV which was in the same shaped bottle as OGD 114 over here, not sure if that is something I have missed previously but I had never seen it before, I think it was around 45 euro. They don't really have anything that you couldn't pick up fairly easily in the U.S. (no SFTB) and all the prices are way high so it's easy to pass. Their Irish whiskey collection is amazing though, probably the best you'll ever see, and prices are mostly comparable, or better than the U.S. Lots of dusty old bottles from decades ago, definitely worth a visit.

IowaJeff Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I stopped at a few stores while on vacation. Passed on Knob Creek 25th, Barterhouse, forged oak, Angels Envy, various Whistlepigs, old forester single barrel, probably a few others. I probably should have stocked up more on 4 Roses barrel strengths at $55. I've always had good luck with those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
