LCWoody Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 1 hour ago, HoustonNit said: Didn't even bother to look at Spec's considering it's $120 at TW. For this price I may pull the trigger. Was considering haggling with a small store to see if I could get a WTMK 17 for $100 out the door. However may go for this instead based on recent comments. Can't go wrong either way.

I don't know if I'll get another opportunity at a lower price, but I did hesitate for a few minutes. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Well Jeff if I was even a small fan of 4 Roses would suggest we meet for a pour. We'll have that meeting but I might ask you bring something much cheaper!

[emoji4] We'll have that meeting but I might ask you bring something much cheaper!Gotcha! 4 Roses is one of those that doesn't always suit me, but when it does, I want multiple pours. I wish they hadn't put such a premium on the price, but I have a feeling the distributors are also up-charging in TN for some of the LE products. So, I'm not certain that the full difference over the national SRP was just due to the retail premium markup...regardless, the bottles they received didn't last very long even with the extra markup. Looking forward to a meeting at some point with or without a bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vismatt Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Passed on ECBP batch A117 for $79.99. Will probably regret it, but I have a hard time paying over $60-$65 for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I MIGHT pay that for earlier batches but I wouldn't pay that for A117. I paid $69.99 for A117 and thought that was too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSpartan Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I passed on a WTRB 108.2 proof at I think $45. I have tried pretty much all of the other barrel proofers besides WTRB, so it has been on my list to try when space is made on the shelf, but I only usually see the 112 and 116 proof ones. Do you guys think the old 108.2 proof was that much better that I should head back and get it now or wait and grab one of the new batches whenever the time comes?

In general, I have enjoyed all of the WTRB releases. Personally, I liked the 112 more than the 108. But, getting that 108 to get yourself in on a SBS, is not a bad idea!

I might have to pick up the 108.2 and eventually try the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardsandBourbon Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 Had to stop by one of the local stores to talk to them about some signs. Passed on GTS Jr. While I really like the last bottle I wasn't willing to spend $72 for it today. Also he had some Rhetoric 23 and other limited releases. I didn't even bother asking the prices on those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NDN98 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Passed on Elijah Craig Barrel Proof. I was tempted, but didn't want to invest $65 on a bottle of something I have never tried. I like the regular EC okay, but not something I would put in my daily drinker rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresh off the truck" (none of my other suckers would buy it) "......only $160". I'm sure it'll still be there in a few months if I change my mind.

Clueby Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Passed on SJR and Blanton's today. Price was good but have some of each. SJR was $43 and Blanton's was $54. I'll leave em for the next guy. I was really hoping they had some ETL, OWA, or W12. It's a little store in my hometown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
