Hop Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 ORVW for $300 and OC NAS for $35 because it's hard to get... meanwhile I've seen cases stacked out at multiple stores...Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRich Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I went by Total Wine yesterday for...uh...wine and I also planned on grabbing a WT Decades because my local didn't get many and my back up was charging $170 which was a bit more than TW. While I'm checking out the guy ringing me up who doesn't look like he shaves yet asked if I was interested in any behind the counter bourbons? I'm curious because with all their glass cases in the whiskey aisles I thought everything was out. So I say "sure, whatcha got?" He goes and looks for a couple of minutes and then comes back with WSR and Ancient Age Ten Star. I kindly decline and finish my purchases.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcpfratn Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 WSR is generally $20-$25 in Western Tennessee and is almost always available. OWA is generally $25-$30, and shows up sporadically throughout the year and usually lasts a few days to a few weeks depending on the store and its clientele. I pass on WSR unless it's a store pick single barrel. I used to pick up a few bottles of OWA whenever I saw it at around $25 or less, but I have enough bunkered now that I will probably only pick up single barrel store picks that are reasonably priced.

I think $70 is probably a fair price given the quality of ECBP. I have one in the bunker and one open right now, which made it easier to pass on. And, I've recently returned to old favorites, which means I've been passing on more premium stuff pretty regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeTen Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 (edited) Bond & Lillard @ $49.99/350ml and Old Ripy @ $43.99/350ml. Give me WTRB at half the price, every time. Does Cointreau think they're Beam Suntory or something???? Edited April 17, 2017 by GeeTen Add photo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Cointreau think they're Beam Suntory or something???? Those are actually pretty good prices....relatively. Not that I am a buyer of these at any price since WT is not my thing, but in Virginia each of these are $59.99 and you have to special order them and wait 2-3 weeks before they arrive. So it could be worse, but yes, I agree, way overpriced. That cinnamon whisky at 6.99 on the otherhand..... how could you go wrong there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueby Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I passed on ER10 ($29) and Blanton's ($57). Pricing was fine, I'm just good on both. Starting to see "allocated" stuff more often these days. Maybe this belongs in the "boom" thread. Also, passed on a WR Brandy Finish for $84. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardsandBourbon Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I think I'll be passing on a bottle of EC 18. Was in a store today and the owner said he was supposed to be getting a bottle later this week and asked if I wanted him to hold it for me. I asked how much, the answer, $250. While I would love to have a bottle I'm not sure I can pull the trigger at that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice of him to ask if you wanted it held, but not so nice on the price gouging... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is one of the places who sold me a bottle of OWA at a really good price and they have a PS FR Single Barrel at $60, which is a better price than anyone else in town. That's why his $250 quote was so surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RacePrecision Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Passed on Weller Special Reserve for $79.99. Price wasn't on the shelf, so when I asked, I must have had a seriously dumbfounded look on my face with the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSR is hardly worth $20-$25 to me except for the occasional store picks. It's readily available in my area and is generally priced anywhere from $19 to $25. The store picks are sometimes a bit more.

Limegoldconvertible68 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 WSR was on the shelf next to the OWA I bought. It was priced at $22.99 which is still more than I think it's worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiskeythink.com Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Was forced to pass on the EHT 4G because it came into the Binny's stores today, but all bottles were reserved for somebody else. So they said "you cant have it". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
