Don't misinterpret Jeff. He's a great guy, Also, use google for search and include "straightbourbon.com" with your search terms. It works way better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 ^^^Bam, you chimed in on Jeff's post twice now. You asked a question and received an answer (that you've now critiqued twice). Maybe I missed something, but I certainly didn't see anything demeaning in the first reply. Trust me, if someone chooses to offend you here, it will be very clear and obvious. In other words, get your panties out of a wad! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonNit Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Thanks. Really did search and didn’t see that. This is a lot more helpful than the other post.Yeah the thread uses the PHC abbreviation instead of Parker’s which makes it harder to find. I found one of these at retail and picked it up. I said this before Parker’s has earned my respect, at $90 or less I’m not taking much of a chance. Last years bottle I thought was great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bambam, I hear where you’re coming from. Keep posting and seeking input. Sometimes, you just have to look past the arrogance and general grumpiness you get here from time to time. It’s more subtle than other message boards. Rarely will you get the overt name-calling, etc. that you’ll get with other sites, but there’s certainly a tone you’ll pick up with some posters. Just ignore them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richnimrod Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Just my opinion, of course... But, after reading some of the previous posts in this thread (and others in other threads) I've come to believe that most of the angst occurring among some of us folx is derived from impressions formed between our own ears, rather than the intentions of posters to 'start something', or to demean, impugn, or otherwise indicate a judgement about the behaviors/posts of others here. If we all just adopt the attitude that posts here are meant to further conversations, or to be helpful to others here, rather than meant to judge previous posts (or posters). And maybe if we assume no ill will is intended, we'll all have more fun, and get along soooo much better.... What say you all? Am I being naive? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And @Richnimrod I always like to assume the best but when you ask a question about something you’ve posted about in the correct place and the response is “the search function is your friend,” that’s pretty much definite snark. No way to assume it’s helpful because it isn’t. That’s all I was getting at. But I’m good. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compare this place to every other bourbon site on the internet. If you can't see the difference then I don't know what to tell you. This place is full of the best. And the most knowledgeable. And we bring in new members who know nothing all of the time. And in time? They become the knowledgeable ones. Don't make assumptions. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSpartan Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Passed on ECBP in the Louisville airport @$96. When did they start selling bottles of bourbon after security that isn’t intended for Duty Free? Great idea, but way overpriced on all of their stuff.

It was 10 bucks more than I was hoping to find it for, and I have my fingers crossed this week for an opportunity at a BTAC bottle so decided to save the funds. Hope I don’t regret it. To me this was worth the purchase at $40. I'm not sure I'd consider it a $50 bottle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they actually have a giant real whiskey barrel on top of the hill behind the distillery bldg. And a picnic area. all open to the public.

uncork_it_already Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I passed on Shenk’s for $33.99 simply because the store (in my old hometown) had PVW23 for $3500 and M10b for $500. They don’t deserve any of my business anymore. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTaylor Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 (edited) RHF @ $189... and AAA 10 yr... yes, 10 year @ $500... "it's discontinued..." Hard not to just laugh in people's face sometimes... Did end up grabbing a KC Cask strength Rye, HWMWND, and 1792 FP store pick at my regular store.

I guess sticking to the BT mashbill #2 theme, I just recently saw ETL in the wild for the first time in a while, and I think it was $180 a bottle or something ridiculous like that. I just chuckled.

Thank god for bunkers... Yep... I have enough in the bunker that I don't go out of my way to chase anymore and my regular LS sets one aside and lets me know when they have something I'll like that's allocated. They might mark up $20 at the most on big stuff like PVW, BTAC, CEHT BP or 4G but I still get an ETL or W12 once or twice a year for $35 - $40.

gurgalunas Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 (edited) Passed on a Bookers 30th that arrived today. $199.99. Also the Basil Haydens 10 year at $62. Edited December 12, 2018 by gurgalunas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnbowljoe Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I passed on 40 Winks Whiskey yesterday. It’s a sourced/blended whiskey(?) from Grantview, a new local distillery. Sad, but I couldn’t discern much more than that from the label, or their website. An easy pass at $55.00 a bottle. Biba! Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
