BDanner Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Not a bourbon, but passed on the Basil Hayden Rye at $50. I was interested, but at $50 it was an easy pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 For those heading into the state next week, things look pretty decent on the aisles. AA, BT, Blanton's, ER10, Old Fitz BIB (750's and handles), OGD BIB and 114 all have been fully stocked this week (at least in the stores I've been in). I'm also seeing a lot of Michter's (even saw some fresh 10 yr old stock), some straggling age stated KC's and all the HH BIB lineup stocked up to the end of the rows. Speaking of KC, most stores I've been in have their own PS KCSB's in stock (and they're all good!). Wild Turkey aisle spaces are full (including all the RR bourbon and rye brands). I also observed several SA products (10 and 11 year old BP's, the 100 proof and Contradiction is still to be found). Of course, all the cats and dogs are equally represented as well. In case you were wondering, no RHF to be found anywhere, and little to no Weller (except in the back rooms). Speaking of RHF, we are due a drop here in Ky. Unfortunately, whatever we get won't take up any shelf space, as it will be gone in a day or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishnbowljoe Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Thanks for the heads up Pat. Not too concerned about much except for the HH 6 BIB. I plan on bringing home at least a few bottles. Cheers! Joe 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.

Government Beard Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Out & about today and passed on Elijah Craig 18 for 199.99. Also walked out of another store laughing at Weller 12 for 129.99 and ETL for 99.99. Before I walked out I poked the attendant with a "Weller Special for over 100+ dollars. Wow."

They only wanted $199.99 for the EC 18. I was quoted $250. ETL, when you can find it around here is always $100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like how stores always try to reason with it to. "Well, we had to sell X amount of cases just to get a few of those. We have to make our money too." LOL. Their distorted economics. 2 minutes ago, kevinbrink said: Well on the plus side ETL isn't worth half that so at least the decision is easy. Exactly.

The last store that I went in that had ETL had about 8 bottles at $100. I guess they're just waiting for some guy with more money than sense to walk in the door. The EC18 at retail or maybe a little above would have been a buy for me but double retail. NO THANKS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louisiana Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Dont fret it CaB. I purchased several of the newer releases. They were good & unique. Just wish they would up the proof or something. Maybe 100-110. Then you would have something. The younger stronger brother (ECBP) puts EC18 to shame IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk I've always thought they looked interesting as well but the price always cooled my interest. I've heard some stores have been discounting them to under $20. One store with a big online shop was running a sale for all 6 varieties for $99. With shipping it put it right around $125. I ALMOST jumped. Edit: I just looked at their website and they still have the 6 pack for $100 or individual bottles for $20.

At $99 they seem like a good deal. They appear to be age stated at 11yrs didn't catch the proof though. All appear to have unique mashbills. If they are over 80 proof I'd definitely consider.

Apart from anything else, Larceny blows it out of the water. Opinions, options, and different palates are a wonderful thing. I agree that people go crazy over WSR but I still enjoy it and will pick it up when I find it under $20 which is still pretty often. I saw a ton of it today for low $20s. On the other hand I don't agree that Larceny "blows it out of the water". I actually find the opposite to be true. I dislike Larceny to the point where I wouldn't purchase it again regardless of the price. I tried it more than a few times thinking I just got an off bottle or was having a bad palate. Nope..just don't like it. Tastes like nail polish remover to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
