kevinbrink Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 This year's Birthday Bourbon for $200, easy pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcpfratn Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Passed on just about everything today except a couple of mixer staples. However, the one that won't leave me alone is passing on some Booker's 2016-06 - Noe Hard Times for 51.99. That's a solid deal and I'm a dumbass for not grabbing at least 2. I have a feeling I'm going to try to right that wrong sometime soon - like tomorrow.Uh, yeah, I've got plenty of Booker's in storage, but I don't think I would have passed on it at that price. I seldom ever saw it near that price in my area even before they raised prices. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueby Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Easy pass on these 2 this morning. They also had ETL, Stagg Jr, and Blanton's for $80. This place has a great selection but they are always over priced. They also had a ton of WSR, CEHT, and ER10 Bat was slightly overpriced as well but not as bad as the others. It's an independent grocery store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nm0369 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Passed on a few typically overpriced bottles; RHF $79.99, RY10 $69.99. I was surprised to find several bottles of Kentucky Owl Rye sitting there for $129.99. I'm not real big on rye, so it was an easy pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course you still have to make your own call regarding whether or not you think it's worth that price, and it appears that you don't think it is...and I agree with you.

Yes the RHF is overpriced but only by $20. Is that a deal breaker for a bourbon that’s darned near impossible to get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kane Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 OESV BP at 60% abv and 10yr. But $80 was just too much for an unknown. I'll first try my previous three picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is for me, last bottle I bought was $45, over $50 and I'm not interested, too many bottles I like more at that price, I suppose had I never had a bottle of RHF I might feel differently.

BottledInBond Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I was in Vegas this weekend and passed on everything. The pricing has gotten so out of hand I can barely believe it. And the variations from place to place are nuts. As an example, Delmonico currently has Lot B for $75 a pour. That's a stupid price for Lot B and I would never pay it. I don't even really like Lot B. But then we went to dinner at Carnevino (in the same building as Delmonico) and their list had Lot B for $300. And PVW15 for $500. Insane. The liquor store by the baggage claim at the airport had some Michter's 20 sitting out with no price shown. That place had ORVW10 for $800 last time I was there though......

Paddy Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Bourbon of note: Stagg Jr (at $89 and $100) and a PS 1792 at $45 (it's just not my thing). I also saw the BH dark rye for the first time. Tempted, but passed (price was $49). Last temptation was LS&B 16, but talked myself out of it by purchasing 4 bottles of bourbon (for the same price)!

Niner Outlaw Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 There was one store that had otherworldly prices. Way out of whack with the other stores in the area. Passed on: 1792 Full Proof, $69.99 Old Medley 12yr, $75.00 Sazerac, $79.99 Blood Oath, pact 3, $180 Several Orphan Barrels, $180 apiece. The Saz blew my mind. I can get handles (1.75L) of Saz for 45. The BO was almost double the msrp. The 1792 and old medley were $25 and $30 bucks higher than the rest in town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I passed on RHF @$80, OWA @$30, and baby Saz @$30. I would have been more inclined to pick up all 3 of them if I weren't moving at the end of the month and already have too large of a bunker to move.
