Whiskeythink.com Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 (edited) In Steamboat Springs, CO for a couple days. Thought I'd check out the local craft distiller, Steamboat Whiskey Company. Went there at noon, their website said the tasting room opens at 11 am. When I get there, one of the owners (I recognized him from their website) was outside loading a few barrels, very rudely told me they were not open. When I asked when they open, he said "when we get around to it". I would think the owner of a craft distillery would be nice to customers rather than be a douchebag, but I guess not. Guess I'll pass on their expensive young whiskey. Edited December 29, 2017 by Whiskeythink.com 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casa Grande, AZ (between Phoenix and Tucson). It was my first time seeing such a thing too. Well, second - one other store had 3 bottles of Stagg @ $900 each, and I think ORVW and Lot B were over $800 as well - can't remember exactly for those two.

Bourbon....Neat! Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Hi. This is my first post so I wanted to say hello to everyone. I have been lurking on this site for quite a while and its time I get involved! Walked into a new liquor store next to an Italian market I was visiting today. They had some good bottles on the shelves and after talking to the owner I know why. ECBP $99, WSR $59, Michters10 $299, Stagg Jr $89 just to name a few. Needless to say I walked out empty handed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven C Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I passed on Booker's "Sip Ahwile" batch for 59.99 at the local Meijer's. Thinking about going back for some... Hmmmmm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmmmm That's actually a very good price on Booker's! Unless you already have a bunch of it like I do, I'd be a buyer at that price.

Have FUN here, that's what it's all about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She put down a Bookers 17-4 and holy cow WOW. This is a batch worth tasting in my little oh humble opinion. I'll pay up ($79) for this one if I get a chance.

I picked up a 17-2 a few months ago to see what one of the 2017 batches was like now that they are supposedly only making four batches per year, but I haven't opened it yet.
