Hop Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Finally opened up my line bottle of B117 and am really regretting passing on. a bunch of this. Really good stuff.Only reason I’m passing is that I bunkered a couple dozen earlier in the year. I’m not sure it’s Whiskey of the Year but it’s a damn good bourbon. Much better than the A117 release to my palateSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonNit Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 ^ A couple dozen as in 24 bottles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FasterHorses Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 How about KC 100 proof 1.75 Litre with 9 year age statement for $61.00? Saw 4 on the shelf so I can go back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw 4 on the shelf so I can go back. That's reasonable. I see the 750s going for $29. Although it's tough because I was paying $35 for the 1.75 at Costco about a year ago.

skiwez2 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Just had to laugh when I saw it, PVW 23 year for $10,500. in a retail store. They seemed to be very excited over the fact that it had a gold wax top. Have never had a Pappy and will certainly try it if offered but could never buy a single bottle at that price when I could buy a lifetime supply of Elijah Craig Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulO Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I passed up Charter 101 @ $26. I hadn't seen one in years. Two just appeared in a chain store. I thought about it. If we start getting it again; I know other places will have it for less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hrchokie Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Passed on Michters 10 @ $115. Kind of surprised to see it in VA. It's usually a lottery item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surtur Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Did a bit of Weller searching today, and I’m surprised at the sheer volume of terribly priced bourbons out there. I passed on Pappy 5 different times, most notably ORVW 10 for $700 at one store but one place offered me the 15 year for $400, and I was so shocked at how “low” that was until he informed me there was a mistake and it was $1000. Here are some of the worst prices I came across other than Winkles. Weller 12 $200 OWA $120 Weller SR $90 Fighting Cock $50 Blanton’s $120 Elmer T Lee twice at $150 Rock Hill Farm $150 Elijah Craig $80 there were others, but safe to say I gave all these a hard pass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, FC for $50. I can find age stated FC near me for $16. Some people out there may pay those crazy prices for some of the Wellers but looks like that store is just jacking up the price on all things bourbon.

I hate to say it but that was many stores that had a similar situation. I about fell over laughing at the Fighting Cock though, to my knowledge that is not limited or sought after in any way, other than by folks like us. I ran into at least 5 stores that had OWA at $70 or $80 but I personally refuse to go $5 or MAYBE $10 above MSRP if it's something incredible.

Clueby Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Pricing reasons...passed on WSR for $30, WA107 for $50, Baby Saz 50, SJR for $80. Couldnt pull the trigger reasons...Barrel Bourbon New Year, Batch 12, a rye batch, and what looked like Batch 4..all for around $90. Also a Forged Oak for $65.

EarthQuake Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) I was in Hawaii at the Halekaluni hotel earlier this week, in the gift shop they had a single barrel pick of Elijah Craig, 9 years for $115. Apparently they blended a small amount (6oz) of very old Heaven Hill private stock that was originally bottled for the hotel 70 years ago. I passed on the bottle but tried it at the bar, it was one of the better EC bottles I've tried but nothing special, as is to be expected what with the homeopathic amount of old juice they blended in. The history aspect is sort of cool, but $115, lol no. They also had a Hirsch 28 year for $125 a pour at the bar, I tried looking that up for kicks but couldn't find much info about it.

kcgumbohead Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Passed on OGD114 for 39.99. First off I have enough and got it all sub 25.00. It became scarce then returned at 28-29 but I had yet to see it crack 30 but this joint raced past 30 and is sniffing 40, odd because others like a VERY nice RRSmbSB store pick are priced in line as are a host of others. They were high on WP 10/100 as well 89.99, the CS version is around for quite a bit less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCwhammie Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I know the cult will look down on me for this egregious decision, but I passed up a bottle of 9yr OBSF that was on sale for $49.99 at a local grocer. The sale lasts through 2/27, so I have time to dwell on it. I promised myself I wouldn’t buy any bourbon for 3-4 months so I can drink down some of my stash, so I’ll likely stand by my choice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
