I saw a lot of stuff I don't normally see such as Penn bourbons and passed on. Unfortunately I didn't see any ETL, Wellers, RHF, or EC12 (only the NAS). How about Oregon bourbon in a Delaware liquor store. (Rogue Farms far right in the photo). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CS is $200? Just insane. Part of it has got to be the cost of that fancy wooden box it comes in. I bought a 2015 batch and as someone who enjoys a good cask strength pour, I can tell you that I don't reach for this very often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both were overpriced in my opinion I had been looking for the CEHT, was happy when I found in on the shelf, then let down when I was told it was $25 more than the last batch. ECBP was also higher than is typical. Oh well, there is always a store around the next corner :-) How do these hold up to your neck of the woods: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mosugoji64 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Passed on WSR for $35.99. Nice to see it on the shelf but at that price, that's where it will stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't pay attention to the rye, but the cheapest I've seen the SiB and SmB are $69.99/$39.99. The SmB is a good bourbon at a reasonable price....SiB is a gamble.

I don't shop for CEHT rye & rarely shop for the CEHT SiB. For me the CEHT SmB is the bargain & if I want to upscale, I reach for CEHT BP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garbanzobean Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Passed on Old Forester Statesman at $65. I'd probably bite at $45 because I like the Old Fo', but that is just too much for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurgalunas Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Dropped my son at Purdue today and looked through one of the bigger stores in West Lafayette. They had just gotten some Sweet Wheat, but I just bought one a week or two ago. Saw Nicholson on the shelf for the first time, but walked on it. Had the black labeled one for $29.99, white label for $27.99. Being NAS, I passed, not knowing much about it. I'm not a big fan of younger whiskeys, and didn't recall much discussion of how it tastes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be heading there first thing in the morning. "Old Fo" has recently become one of my favorite "underdogs". Often ignored (except for birthday bourbon), they have some real hidden gems our there and a taste that I can only describe as "classic old school bourbon".... or at least what I think classic old school bourbon should taste like. Something about it just makes me want to grab a cigar, and hang out with some good 'ole boys, and talk trash all night long...with a big ass campfire. Hey, we have the same name!

Something about it just makes me want to grab a cigar, and hang out with some good 'ole boys, and talk trash all night long...with a big ass campfire. Old Forester has been my "everyday pour" for years. I've been thrilled to see B&F emphasize the brand and introduce new offerings over the past few years... Some great, some good, some "eh"... Love the SiB and the 1920 is right there with my favorite bourbons. Recently I have been pleasantly surprised by what I think is a improvement in their 100 proof offering. I did a SxSxS this past weekend with the new label OF 100pf vs OF Sig vs OF 1920... The 1920 easily took the grand champion ribbon, but the new label 100pf exhibits VERY similar flavors and a similar nose, it fell short of the 1920 in depth of flavor, thickness and mouth feel, and length of finish. The Signature was missing some of the nicer flavors I got from the other two and was a touch harsher. I'm hopeful this isn't just a good bottle and is representative of what B&F is going to be putting on the shelf with this new label OF100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwshannon Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Seemed to be delivery day to several local stores, based on the new items and unboxing that I watched. Passed on several items - Blanton's for $65, Larceny for $29, King's County $38/375, mostly because I already have some or not interested. I did pick up my first Old Forester 1920, for $43.

Insanityabounds Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Found a liquor store in B'ham area that has quite a bit of allocated products. Stagg Jr for $100+. EHTSmB for $80+, Blantons for $99+, ECBP for $99+, regular Buffalo Trave which is allocated heavily in Alabama for $55+ and a few others. I know what these bottles cost at the ABC and I know thats where they got em. When I started trying to haggle he started fudging me on what taxes had to be paid and how much he gets them for. Made me want to put my beer back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwmac Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Went to the local LS to pick up a bottle of OGD 114. Surprised to see a couple bottles each of Forged Oak and Barterhouse 20 on the shelf as these were part of a lottery this month. According to an employee, the lottery winners opted not to pick these up. Also saw RYSB 10 and OF 1920 each priced at $59.95. Want to try both of those but will leave the Forged Oak and Barterhouse for others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueby Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I saw a KC 25th under $100 For the first time today. I think it was $97.xx. I was tempted, but still passed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
