Bbstout Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Bottles deep of HWMWND @ $75 plus tax a bottle. I'm hoping I can find it for $10 cheaper at another store. If not I'll still live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did end up buying a bottle for myself and someone else. I have gotten to the point where I don't have the fear of missing out problem. There is plenty of really good readily available $20-$30 bourbon and rye out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am lucky enough to have one in the bunker that I found by pot luck and for $59. I'm pretty sure the 25th anniversary Batch was 2014-01. ...And, it is a one of more than a few that are definitely worth having. Coincidentally, I had a pour from my last bottle of '14-01 this afternoon. Deee-Lish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy6107 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Passed on a bottle of Hibiki Japanese harmony. mainly because I dont know anything about the Jaanese whiskeys. I did not see an age statement either. Hopefully I did not make too big of a mistake by leaving it at the store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the NAS whisky that replaced Hibiki 12 as the entry level Hibiki after the Japanese whisky craze. It's nothing special, and quite easy to find. You didn't miss anything.

gurgalunas Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Passed on Little Book for $75. Not a fan of corn forward whiskey, and since a corn whiskey is part of the blend, I figured I'd try it before buying... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I passed on something, but I'm not sure what the hell it was? I went into a Costco to check out the selection and saw a single bottle in a nice Booker's like display box. It was some kind of Abraham Lincoln commemorative bottling and the box opened up into a display with various (obviously reproduced) documents related to the era. I'd left my phone charging in the car or I would have taken a photo for reference. Mistakenly, I thought I'd just search it on the internet, but, so far, nothing. Anyone else seen this? The amazing Costco price for this whiskey (it did not have a straight bourbon designation) was $1,299. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do distill, but they only started the operation in 2013 so it's either ~4 year juice or it's mistery sourced juice. Seeing as their owner/master distiller has no previous experience that I'm aware of and it seems they started on a shoestring budget I'm afraid to imagine how bad the juice they distill may taste at this point..... They have to be hoping for some serious idiots with money to burn to sell this Lincoln crap 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
