FasterHorses Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Passed BTAC and all other allocations at my local. Got the phone call that they arrived but I was at work (still am). Funny he said they were all gone except Elmer T and cEHT only 15 mins after they called. Bad timing. 2/3 chances remaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcpfratn Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Passed on a handle of Fighting Cock with 6yr age statement for $37. I've never tried it before and wasn't sure I wanted to take a gamble on a handle size. I'll be in the area again tomorrow, so any thoughts on whether it's worth getting?Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never tried it and wasn't certain if I wanted to gamble on such a large bottle. I'll be in the area again tomorrow, so any thoughts on whether I should grab it if it's still there? They also had a Booker's "Toogie's Invitation" for $57, and I'm really thinking about picking it up even though I already have 2 in the bunker.

That's a buy, IMO. If for some reason you don't like it, bring it to Bardstown next April and I'll buy the rest from you 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's your call but if you like any of aforementioned HH BIBs I'd definitely consider it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk I think it's pretty good value especially given what's going on in the bourbon world. Not great but a nice middle of the road kind of sipper.

But that's just me. [emoji4]Ah but did it have the 6yr age statement? I think this and the HH6yr our my favorite of the HH BIBs 100 proof+, bottom shelters. Well actually I think I like Old Fitz BIB the most but it's the wheat mashbill so I don't count it. That being said I don't like them more than products like OGD BIB, WT101 and BT. These three aren't that much more and I like them to my palate more over all the HH bottom shelters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't intend to buy another fifth but wouldn't mind having one of these if needed for a SBS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob_Loblaw Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 With the rumor that ER store picks are being discontinued next year I went back to pick up a second bottle only to find the price went up to $39.99!! ???? Regular ER $32.99. Was annoyed and did not buy anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jshleffar Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 passed on EC18 for 145 pre tax. I was tempted but ultimately decided Ive spent too much recently and am still hoping in vain to get ahold of a Stagg or WLW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what MSRP is but I paid $42.99 recently at LB. Think that was pretty close to retail. If you're really wanting a bottle you may want to make a trip to the LB in Bowling Green KY (if they have some on hand). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just game across that here for $2000. The manager was telling me that it was a good deal because two of the bottles in it are worth like $1000- $1200 each. I kindly said I had to pass haha. The display box was pretty nice though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clueby Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I just stopped in a store (actually a gas station/convenience store) that has always had great selection and pricing..and suddenly pricing has gone crazy. W12 was $100, OWA $50, Stagg Jr. $70, ETL $90, Baby Saz $50. Likely wont be stopping in there anymore. The other store up the street also had a lot of good stuff as well but with some decent prices. Nothing I needed. They have OFBIB in 750, 1L, and 1.75, Charter 101 but in plastic bottles, Willett Rye and Pot Still, a couple batches of Barrel Bourbon and Rye. Even had KY OWL Rye for probably best price I've seen at $122. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
