HoustonNit Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Yea, a few of those would have gone home w/ me. Last barrel my local TW got in was $69/btl. I think if it was any other recipe I’d consider it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schultz24 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Picked up a couple of these dusties @ $30 per, but passed on buying more. They have the age statement on the back. Do I go back for the rest?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. ! 3-or 4-months!!! OMG!!!! How is that even possible???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowderKeg Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I've passed, for the moment at least, on a local shop's 4Rsib ps 9yr OESV at $60, they have plenty on hand for now. No experience with 4R beyond the standard sib and smb - how's OESV compare to the standard sib OBSV, is it worth twice the price as a higher proof ps? Enquiring minds want to know.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OESV is typically a lot more nuanced than the OBSV in my opinion. I would drink the OESV over the standard SB (OBSV) any day (I am very much a barrel proof lover though). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just trying to get my stash (which isn’t a fraction of what some of you guys have) whittled down some. Plus I’m getting married in April, so we have some other expenses. We are able to stock our reception bar, so that’ll likely be my next trip to the store. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayouredd Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 (edited) Had an out-of-town-store-guy recommend a store in my town that I didn't know about. As soon as I walked in, I notice several things I had been looking for. I passed up every variation of CEHT stuff (except 4 grain/none of that) and a Midsummer's Dram. The Col SIB was $55; 2 bucks less than I had previously paid. Edited January 29, 2018 by bayouredd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still can't decide if the tingling sensation that follows is better than the bourbon itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Postal Grunt Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 At the risk of having my intelligence questioned, I admit to passing on Blanton's at $58 and change. Christmas has gone by and my birthday isn't for six more months so those two facts made it difficult to rationalize adopting a bottle. I don't dispute the quality of the whiskey but I'm reluctant to pay for rarity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSpartan Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I passed on a MWND. It was priced well at $79.99, but I'm trying to keep purchases down to work down the bunker before I move next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
