Statesboro Blues Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Went searching for CEHT4G tonight. Found two bottles for $375. The same store also had W12 for $225. I laughed at the girl and walked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the wheated Redemption actually exists? I've been looking for it since announced and have yet to see one in the wild, but that was my thinking on passing, could the JO-W be that much better than R-W (and judging by the price on all the other R-_ bourbons). I can wait awhile longer.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can wait awhile longer.... $47.99 for the Redemption Wheated Bourbon, $69.99 for the Jefferson's Ocean Wheated OTD. Thank you, no for both. But that's just me . . . . (emoji still no workee!).

But that's just me . . . . (emoji still no workee!). Well that's quite a bit more than the other Redemption varieties ($25-30 IIRC) that are generally plentiful. Should Porky fly by and one appears on a shelf in front of me in the low $40ish range I'll likely grab it to try (start shedding pounds and growing wings Porky!!) Saw the JO around several places in L-ville in the $75-85 range. It's kinda thoughtful in way that they make a pass so relatively easy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcbt Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Passed on RHF for $130 yesterday. It wasn't even on the shelf, I asked the owner if he had any, he pulled it out of the back after I waited 10 minutes for him to get off the phone, and then he told me the price. "If you have no intention of actually selling this bottle, at least put it in a glass case or something." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonNit Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 I passed on WT Master’s Keep Decades on closeout for $90. I was tempted but decided to pass. Also passed on WT M.K. Revival for $130 and the latest Blood Oath for I think $85 which I have no interest in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like all the stores have it on sale here in DFW. I guess the distributors are trying to make room for the new WT Revival and are giving it to stores at a discount.

HoustonNit Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Yup, I’ll likely get it at some point. I’m a WT fanAnd down to my last RR luck and no other Turkey in the bunker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcpfratn Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 I passed on WT Master’s Keep Decades on closeout for $90. I was tempted but decided to pass. Also passed on WT M.K. Revival for $130 and the latest Blood Oath for I think $85 which I have no interest in. I would have been a buyer of all three of those bottles. The Decades and Blood Oath pact #4 are both very nice bourbons. I have bottles of both, but I’d add to the bunker at those prices. I haven’t tried the Revival yet, but that’s a much better price than I’ll probably ever see in my area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beasled Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Passed on a load of stuff, not least a 20 year Van Winkle 20 for £1500. I went with a Springbank 10 in the end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fully intend to get the Decades, won’t consider Revival before I try it. No interest in Blood Oath, seems to gimmicky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, at first glance some unsuspecting consumer may think the single barrel whiskey in the fancy box must be the Michael Phelps of whiskey. But that San Fran Gold is the participation trophy of whiskey it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of those Total Wine Spirits Direct brands = crap beyond belief. Edit: to clarify TW likes to hand pick these inferior juice from who knows where and market it under its Spirits Direct program. It's a trap. Spirits Direct is the graveyard of unwanted spirits.

JCwhammie Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 I passed yo Bulleitt barrel strength at $50. I remember reading Bulleitt used to get their bourbon from 4R, but I haven't seen anything definitive where they get it now. If they were still getting 4R I'd buy that barrel strength in a heartbeat. As it is, I'll leave it be. Plus I place a good bit of trust in the good folks here. I'm not sure I've seen anyone post about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty good. That said I can find 4R BP picks and Stagg JR etc at that price, so never felt compelled to buy a bottle. If you have money to burn, by all means, it's worthy.
