Ha..

baby saz for $79.99

stagg jr for 69.99

CEHT RYE 99.99

CEHT BP 99.99

 

good grief that was ridiculous

The CEHT BP is easily the least offensive of that lot, I'm not sure I've seen it for lower than $85 in NY or NJ.

Just make sure it was the BP and not the SB, the SB is often around the same price as the Rye here ($70ish)

Definitely was the BP. It was great to see all these bottles that i only see online but the prices were a little silly. It was the first place I stopped on my mini vacation, so good to know this place is just up the road from my parents if i ever get in a bind

Passed; for now at least... This year's Old Forester Birthday Bourbon.     See my new thread in the premiums area.

Get it. If you decide you don't want it, I'll take it off your hands. No cost to you if so!

Ridiculous for you maybe, but I just paid $70 for stag jr and $95 for rye, and would jump at the BP for $99.  Never even seen them on the shelf in over 2yr of looking in KY since they just go down the call lists at all the stores before they hit the shelves.  So for a normal guy like me, if you want them you have to buy them at over MSRP or on secondary.  And Stagg Jr and the CEHT BP are easily worth those prices and way better than a lot of more expensive bourbons.

ECBP $59.99

RHF $85

There would have been some more ECBP in my house at that price. I normally have to pay $65-$70.

It probably wouldn't upset my wife (too much) if I spent even more money on bourbon than I already have the past couple of weeks or so. I just don't want to push it. :mellow:  Like I said before, thanks pal. <_<

 

 

Cheers! Joe

Self justification is easy.... "I want it". Wife justification.... "they don't make it any more"  "it's super allocated"  "I can only get it here"  "sb.com said it's delicous"

Me too. Yeah it's a LE but that still isn't enough to excite me enough to even enter.

Not when the 1920 is in abundance at $59

The obvious accidental pass here is the ECBP at $59.99. I'm all over it at this price.

I was excited to see two of his year's OFBB tucked behind the shelf of a new store that has been good to me. I was picking up a BP rum they special ordered for me. They've always sold at retail price. I asked the counter girl if I could have one. She said sure and handed one to me but added that they had just gotten them and they weren't in the computer yet. She checked the wholesale book and thought the price would be $86. She signaled to the owner, who called his partner and after a 5+ minute discussion said the price was $150. When I said never mind the owner got a bit defensive. Said it was internet market price and that other stores were charging more. I agreed but said it wasn't worth it to me. I was prepared to walk away but he kept trying to explain how it was a good price and got a bit animated about it.

 

The most interesting thing he said was that they got in trouble from their wholesaler the last time they sold a LE at a too low price and that if they wanted to continue to get more LEs they had to charge a premium. That stunned me. I still passed.

Huh, just picked up my 2017 OFBB lottery win yesterday for exactly half that price OTD!  Going to gift it to a good friend whose wife had a baby girl earlier this year.  Hope he can share it with her in 21 years.   :lol:
