CardsandBourbon Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 On the way back home after the game I stopped by some other places. Only thing that I almost pulled the trigger on was a 1792 Barrel Proof SiB for $70. If I had not just picked up the ECBP I may have done it.

flahute Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 (edited) I found the Elmer. Unfortunately the new pricing reality made it a pass. 49.99 before the infamous Washington State tax. Edited April 9, 2017 by flahute Added price which got cropped out of pic. Duh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, the "Pappa"s come with misspelled bags, whereas the "Pappy" doesn't have a bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's funny is I'm seeing bottles that I know were $70-$75 a few months ago with a new $100 sticker slapped on top it. These are from stores that I don't often visit though. Fortunately their are still plenty of good stores out there that take care of us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcpfratn Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Passed on a bottle of the new Spring release of Rebel Yell 10 YR Single Barrel. The price increased more than 50% from the Fall price that I paid of $49 to $78. I decided to pass at that price even though the store got the bottle just for me. The owner said he had no problem returning it to the distributor, and understood my distaste for the jacked up price.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Sad...I just got back from a trip where I was surprised to find a shelf full of the original release RY10SB for $47. I heard the second release was double the amount of bottles. To be honest I would pay more then $50, as the bottle I got was VERY good.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk So if the distributor is charging a 50% markup over last year does that mean it has risen in price everywhere? I may have to do more searching for last year's release as I really enjoyed the bottle I opened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This store only received one bottle at my request, so the distributor may have charged the store an up-charge since it was less than a case even though they probably wouldn't have sold them a case if they wanted it. I'll have to see if any other stores in the area get any and what the price is but I suspect it's a combination of distiller price increases and the distributor. All I can say is I'd rather have Weller 12 for less money when I can get it and possibly even Antique 107.

What happens in one state, locality or market may not equate on a national scale. You'd have to check your local situation for pricing in your area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
