silverc Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Passed on several things including LEs today..... Parker's Heritage #11 for $200 Stagg Jr $100 AECS $200 GTS $500 They also had a Pappy 23yr, but I didn't even bother asking the price. I really want to find a GTS, but can't go for it at that price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a GTS at a store near me for $600 (@Bnrhodes3 posted about it) and I went in to see it in person (I wasn't going to buy it, but wanted to try to talk him down a lot) and someone had bought it! I tried to talk him down from his $500 price tag on THH , but he just laughed at me... I guess that's fair for him to do - unfortunately people are buying bottles at these outrageous prices and it's the reason the prices can get so high. It's really unfortunate this is happening, but there are still decent LS owners out there selling them at retail (or close to it). I'm glad I didn't even want to buy that GTS at that insane price because just today (after I had given up on finding any BTAC this year) my very own GTS fell into my lap (this is my first time getting a BTAC bottle)! Keep your head up and keep looking, you just might find one even when you don't expect it. Cheers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepCover Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 I passed on 2017 OFBB for the bargain basement price of $300, at 2 different stores. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually had the opportunity to pick up a variety of bottles today for 15% off but told my wife I would take a pass. I let her pick up some wine, rum and pre-mixed Egg Nog. Nothing piqued my interest and I would rather spend my bourbon $ on a few other items. For example, one of the larger chains in Indy will have a 15% off sale next weekend. They carry a complete lineup of FR PS SiB, which will be $47.50 on sale. I also plan to seek out a few more ECBPs. That 4R PS is hard to beat. That's why I'm a big fan of when we visit the in-laws. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Is *anybody* actually still buying the Boss Hog? I mean, it was already ridiculously priced with its first iteration, but they don't seem to get tired of pushing this BS further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daveheelga Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 I passed on ECBP for $80 and GTS for $700. I had to think about the ECBP, but laughed at the GTS. Even the LS owner thought the price was a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clueby Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 I've seen it all now. That's more than the 1.75L I have cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonNit Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Just passed on the Woodford Reserve Cherry Wood Smoked Barley for $75. This seems to have some positive reviews unlike the previous Master's Collections. Also even though I don't buy it I like the standard WR and have the DO barrel select on my short list which is in the $20 range of this.Maybe I've reached bourbon zen.

Unfortunately, the distributor in west Tennessee has apparently decided to participate in premium pricing on some items, so the cost on this to stores in my area is almost the distillery suggested retail of $99. So, it's likely to sit on shelves at the price of $129 that I've seen it at in several stores, which is normal markup for most stores. Heck, even last year's Brandy cask finish sat on shelves for quite a while at $99. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also as stores are closed Sunday it should still be around after work Monday. I'll likely pass there's some interesting store picks that will be available in the next couple weeks. Additionally I think I'd rather pick up the WT decades for not much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While we have some advantages with our liquor store ownership laws, you certainly have the price advantage in Texas. The cheapest I've seen WT Decades is $139, but most stores have it at $149.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scratchline Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 (edited) Passed on a Parker's Heritage 11 at 140 today. Was sorely tempted and sat in the car for a few minutes considering it. But for an 11 year, 122 proof whiskey it just seems like too much. Particularly considering that I still see ECBP for half of that and have plenty of it bunkered. And Xmas gift spending is upon us...that said, I may be back there tomorrow to see if it's still on the shelf! -Mike Edited November 26, 2017 by scratchline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bnrhodes3 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 I went through a bunch of stores today, and no decent prices at any. Two different stores had OFBB at $400. Stagg Jr - $100 ORVW - $500 Blantons - $130 OWA - $70 I came across Stagg in one store as well. They have a raffle set up where you get 1 entry for every $50 you spend. If you are picked, you get it for $0.01. I passed on that for the time being too - the only remotely interesting thing I wanted to try from them was a WR MC Brandy Cask for $99. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
