Saw Blanton's in a store today for $80. No thanks. Said the same to a Bourye for $99.99.

My local cigar bar that I patronize did a Blanton’s barrel pick. They want $99.99 a bottle. No thanks.

Weller Special Reserve for $23.  I have an open bottle that never seems to call my name and too many other good bourbons in the bunker.  Had it been OWA, I wouldn't have hesitated...

I'm not a big fan, so I left it there. That's a darn good price for WRDO, though. The standard WR was the same price.

At that price, I would have bought all 4 of them.

Passed on RY 10 year for $59.99.

Nothing wrong with the price, just been there done that and don't necessarily care about doing it again.

I scored Blanton's for $59 last week, and I'm not sure it's even worth that. I'll give time to oxidize...

I passed on several friday, just sitting there on the shelf. Im debating whether to bite. I had several pours from a batch 1 bottle that was not impressive, but it is a SB...

I am with you on this. Bought two bottles last year. It’s good not great and with one bottle down I am not terribly interested in opening the other or obtaining a new one for the bunker.

You should have peeled the top price sticker off to see what the other price was. ????

I think I'd honestly take the pot still instead...????

Interesting that the Master's Keep Decades is that expensive.  Our local stores have been offering it for $69-79 lately, although Total Wine is still charging $129.

Count me in the non-fan group for RY10.  I have tried 2 different bottles from 2 different barrels and it doesn't agree with my palate.

I’d be all over Decades at $80.

I have an "internal rule" where I won't spend over $20 for WSR, $30 for OWA ($40 if its a store pick), and $50 for W12.  My last purchase of OWA was $25 I think and W12 was $20.

Actually passed on some WSR tonight for $16.49. Also passed on ER10 for $30. Was tempted by Jefferson's Ocean wheated but $75 seems a tad high.

There are BTAC and Van Winkle bottles I wouldn’t pay $200 for. Much less WSR
