I bet its been sitting there for a while too. Was the St. George 35th Anniversary Single Malt really in the $900.00+ range? Crazy days, indeed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to St. Louis. There are other examples around town but this particular small chain of stores is just nuts with their pricing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s awesome. As I was pulling into the LS, Hank Williams Jr “Whiskey Bent and Hellbound” was on the radio....fitting! Did you get the ET BIB in Michigan? I got mine in Kentucky. It's really good. If Michigan has it, other states might too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been curious about that one and might pick it up. MSRP in WashDC $90, but prepurchase price is $78.

The founders ipa was on clearance for $4 a six pack and I had an inkling to try an aged rum. Was very happy to bump into the Weller 12. The kbs I haven’t seen in a while and was $22.50 for the 4 pack which seems to be the going rate I guess. And who doesn’t need an extra hmck10 around!!

Made 7-8 LS stops and found this: I'm happy with the haul. Got these a few weeks ago. HH6 as a gift from a friend and I bought the HWMWND locally. Got realllly lucky. That HH 6yo is one of my top favorite pours. And store selections like that RR re usually amazing. Very nicely done 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven’t cracked open the ET BiB yet, but I’ve heard from numerous sources it’s excellent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freakdog Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Picked up a couple bottles of the Booker's Sip a While batch for $60 each and a SAOSsb 11 year old for a few dollars more. ..and no...it was not bottled by Sarah...hopefully Ashton is a friend of hers. Sidenote...I only drink Bookers when it snows and low and behold my phone says we are having a spring storm here in the 95 corridor on Saturday!!!! I believe there is a thread somewhere for that batch...if the weather gods cooperate, I will post tasting notes over the weekend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonNit Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 From my understanding it’s just the traditional targeted market for Weller. If you look at old advertisements for Weller it’s usually from magazines like Texas Monthly. I believe Texas kept the brand alive over the lean years in bourbon. I also believe I read something when Weller hit some milestone like millionth case or something like that the governor of Kentucky gave a case of Weller to the governor of Texas.I need to correct my incorrect statement of the governor of Kentucky giving a case of Weller to the governor of Texas. It was actually a case of Old Charter bottled from the millionth barrel. I still believe that SW targeted a lot of there Weller distribution and marketing into Texas while other products like Rebel Yell was for the southern market and Old Fitz for northern states like Illinois. Would love however to be corrected by a knowledgeable SBer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bourserker Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 I have been trying to reduce the bunker in the last couple of years, so I try to keep my liquor store trips to a minimum. If I go in one I'm most likely gonna come out with something. In the last month I bought the following: ECBP A118 WTKS OF 1920 BT I got the BT today at the store that had the ECBP. I went in to see if any of the ECBP was left (it was not), and saw the BT. I find it kinda weird that finding plain old BT on the shelf actually got me kind of excited. It's the way of bourbon these days I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSpartan Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Haven't picked up anything in the past couple of months, but this week I picked up a Binny's select of Blanton's and ER and then came across a Walgreen's selling the Jim Beam Craft series for $8.99 each, so I picked up one of each. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdcdguy Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 No idea. I don't usually chase craft whiskey. James Henry distilled and bottled out of Clayton Georgia. Anyone know anything about these? It just says distiller with corn. Moonrise Distillery. Ok then! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurgalunas Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 I've had a thirst for CEHT for a couple of months, but it's been nowhere in my area. Found one today for a few bucks higher than normal, but it's worth it to scratch an itch... One of my local groceries decided to thin the ranks on their bourbon selection. Put a number of bottles on the chopping block. Generally not stuff I was interested in (some craft, some bottom shelf, some sourced or NAS stuff that has declined lately), but OF1920 and Bakers were included ($51 and $39). The LS manager said the 1920 was a mistake by the higher-ups, and that he'd see it corrected- after I left... grabbed one each of the OF1920 and Bakers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OF1920 is typically around $52-$55 and Baker's is $38-$42 so those prices don't seem like deep discounts. CEHT Small Batch is $35 I think when it shows up at TW. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
