The MSRP of Weller 12 when I bought some last year was $39.99 for a liter bottle.

MSRP as suggested by the manufacturer (BT)?

[Adam777]

Here in Michigan there is a state minimum, however the LS can charge whatever they want. State minimum is $29.99 for W12, but I usually see a $5 increase and buy at $34.99 which is fair for some good juice. Anything more than $40 or $50 probably not worth it. At that price I’d rather get some MMCS.

My understanding is the ABC sells everything at the MSRP set by the manufacturer, but this could easily be wrong. I'm not sure what ability the distributor has to mark things up, such that the retailer's price would have to rise accordingly.

The distributor(s) here lets Weller 12, and other similar items trickle out only a few bottles at a time. That way they avoid giving the liquor stores a case discount price.

That is a decent price for a decent Bourbon.    Soooooo many retailers have jumped upon the "gouging" bandwagon; I'm glad you found this at a decent price, Dango.

Yep.  WSR can be found occasionally around here, but no, no, no on any WA107 or W12.  I no longer ask, as I don't enjoy being laughed at...

[FriendlyEdgar]

WSR can be found regularly if you check on delivery morning; 107 and 12 you have to be on the list or get extremely lucky... I've gotten 2 of each this year (1 of the 12s was in Hernando, no Pinellas)...

W12 is available at MOM website at the moment.

Unfortunately, MOM no longer ships to the U.S.

This is the price info for a 750ml W12 in Michigan:

 

BASE PRICE - This amount represents what the State of Michigan paid for the liquor (including the Federal Excise Tax), plus a 65% markup to pay the distribution costs and provide revenue for the State and the retail licensees.

LICENSEE PRICE - This amount represents the price paid by licensees. It includes the 17% licensee discount and the specific taxes of 4% + 4% + 4%, computed on the base price.

MINIMUM SHELF PRICE - This amount is the minimum price to be shown on the SDD licensee’s shelf.  The 6% sales tax is not included.  As of November 30, 2004, licensees may charge a higher price than the state’s set minimum retail selling price.  SDDs may not charge a lower price than the Minimum Retail Shelf Price set by the MLCC. 

 

Base: $26.78

Licensee: $25.44

Minimum shelf: $29.99

Just bagged a bottle, don’t think it’ll be there for long. £39 which works out to be about $51

I snagged a 1L yesterday of W12 for $36 after tax.

The price of W12 here in chicago is all over the place. The lowest I’ve seen them listed for is $28.99. Today I actually saw W12  for $200 at two different stores. Crazy. 

One of the stores also had Very Old Barton BIB for $65!
