Yeah, Hog Wild is looney toon nuts - and it wasn't a ps either, just reg ol' FP. And it's not like FP and Sib are exceptionally rare around here, they come and go, but it's not a long difficult search to find 'em at a reasonable $ somewhere in the vicinity. After laughing at the $100 SW a month or two ago, I drove around the literal corner and bought one for @ $40 or so IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Of note, Calumet 10 and 12 year old. Also passed on more Parker's, ECBP and Ky Owl (rye #2 and bourbon). I guess it's Zen when you know you've got more at home than you'll probably drink in your lifetime...;) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limegoldconvertible68 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 You gotta be kidding me! I passed on everything today. I go into my favorite store where I spent enough to think I might get a good bottle this season and the freaking owner sold the #$@%ing store. Funny how the cards fall in this game of bourbon hunting. I’m afraid this means no special bottles for me this year. I’ve got a couple of long shot chances but this is a big disappointment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcpfratn Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Does it come from HH? Read where theyre out of bowling green.I think the speculation is that it does come from HH. I’ve only had one bottle that was a PS Single Barrel. I can’t remember if it was 10yo or 12yo, but it was pretty decent bourbon. It was given to me as a gift, so I can’t remember if the price is reasonable for what it is or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowderKeg Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 WTH is going on with 1792FP? $70 at another LS that isn't typically a gouger. Not a store select either. I was passing on FP at $50+ earlier this year, and will continue to do so.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Postal Grunt Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 The Christmas gift boxes are arriving in KC, MO now. Woodford Reserve checked in around $36 with a gift glass and KC has an Old Fashioned gift kit with a 750ml bottle, bitters, and glasses for a bit more than $30. The one that almost got to pull out the Visa card, almost, was a Maker's Mark 750 with two glasses for less than $22. The stand alone bottle in the next aisle checked in at about $24. Don't ask me how they priced that but given the price of good glasses, my thrifty Yankee cheapskate upbringing in MA just might get me back in that store even though MM isn't in my usual rotation. The OPG and my sainted mother just might approve. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skootch77 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 On a business trip to New Orleans last week I saw a bottle of Weller 12 on the shelf for the first time. Unfortunately it was $150 so I’ll have to wait to have one at home. Also saw a bottle of Blanton’s for $170. That’s just insane. I did see Stagg Jr for $60 at a third store and that was tougher to pass on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueby Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Passed on OF BIB 11 year. They also had W12 1L for $99 and SJR and ECBP for $70. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcpfratn Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Passed on some 375ml bottles of WRDO at $20 each. The 750ml bottles usually sell for at least 2.5 times that price, so I was tempted even though I have several PS single barrel selections already at home.

Haha Ive noticed several stores in Texas have started pricing ER in the $40-50 range. I like it well enough, but that is a crazy price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEH1212 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Stopped at a random small shop today noticed they had roughly 50 bottles of hard to find so I knew it was for a reason.. Decided to start with the lowest MSRP juice Weller 12, a wopping $150.00 for a 750 lol. Told him its a 30$ bottle at best so didnt waste time asking about 4R130th or KK....

JTaylor Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Passed on a RR SiB at the distillery gift shop. Picked up a 101 Rye and KS and Jimmy signed both but the RR was $72 and my local LS has done several phenomenal RR PS barrels and I have multiples of each on the shelf so the $72 backed me down...

PaulO Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Seriously, can they even call it bourbon at 6 months? Seems like waste of a new barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The list of stuff I could (would) buy instead for about $30 wouldn’t fit in this post... Edit, so I went and checked out there website. This is another garbage can product that appears to use the terrepure method. I wish they (terrepure) would just give up on this crap. Does anyone actually enjoy any of their products? I know only a few people who have gotten suckered into buying something that was "terrepured". They never go back for more...
