Louisiana Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Passed on George T. Stagg. Didn't feel like adding $385 to the receipt. Cheers, Jeff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurgalunas Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Came across a Murray Hill Club by Magnus for $108. Don't know much about it, and the quick reading I did reported mediocre reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcpfratn Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Passed on three bottles of GTS for $399 each and three bottles of ECBP for $99 each. This store always marks up BTAC, but usually has ECBP for somewhat reasonable prices, but I guess after they saw that it was declared bourbon of the year, they jacked up the price.

Don't know much about it, and the quick reading I did reported mediocre reviews. I found it to be one of the most complex pours I've ever tasted. it's light though. Delicate. More of a soft complex sipper that keeps evolving in the glass as you drink it. New flavors keep popping up. Anyway, if you're into that sort of thing, it's fantastic. If you're looking for a punch in the face, you won't find it in this bottle. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTaylor Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Passed on WTMK Decades @ $159... wanted to grab it, but was already walking out with a 4RSmBLE and an ER Store pick so hesitated for an instant as I passed by the display, then kept walking. Just wondering if it can be that much better than WTRB or the RRSB store picks I have on hand... a little help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still plan on picking one up but at $97 and also I haven't got any LEs this year, if I had 1/5th of what you got I wouldn't be in the market.

I have some RR SB picks that are fantastic so the $159 was kind of an easy pass... had it been $97 I think it would have had a new home... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubba-Nj Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I passed up most of the Van Winkles tonight, no experience with them and definitely not at the prices I've seen. 15 year was $999.99. Was on a search for ETL, closest I came was the shelf marker priced at $109.99. $20 cheaper than I saw yesterday although the store had 6-8 bottles lined up behind the counter for $129.99. Still Wow.

I know I'm in the minority that thinks the A117 is better but they all are consistently great bourbons for a reasonable price in the current boom.

Surtur Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Michters 25yr $6500 Four Roses Small Batch LE $500 Parkers 2017 $600 EH Taylor Four Grain $1000 Kentucky Owl $750 Birthday Bourbon $500 PVW 23yr $2500 Etc Etc all the same store too. I guess I won't be supporting a store like that any more. I wish there was a way for distilleries to cut off stores like this. In the end, very few people or nobody will buy these and the market will speak for itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the bigger problem is people with deep pockets who can splurge and sort of enable this kind of gouging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would make more sense if those prices were in NYC, which is a drop in the bucket for those financial guys/gals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
