Given the vintage and the price I'd imagine that one had been purchased on the secondary and they're looking for a nice markup over that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kemosabe Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Passed on a GTS @ $200. I just can't get myself to pay more than twice MSRP for anything in life, no matter the secondary market. I've got enough other tasty bourbons at retail price in the bunker to hold me over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pancakedan Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Still interesting that you could buy this off the shelf. What kind of store is this? The Whisky Exchange, I get most of my bourbon from them tho normally online, this is the first time I’ve been into one of their stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mal00768 Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Four Roses Al Young for $799.99 and many other hard to find but similarly crazily priced bottles. I guess I’ll never taste some of this stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vosgar Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Finally saw my first bottle of Old Ezra barrel strength, but at $65.99 I passed. I'll get along just fine with the 3 bottles of standard 7yr 101 I have left that cost a whopping $14.99 when I bought a handful of them 4yrs ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far I've resisted going back for another at @ $40. It's good, but IMHO not 2X as good as OE101 - like you I've got @ 4 bunkered for long term gradual enjoyment.

Statesboro Blues Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 There’s a small store about 5 miles from my regular store that I never go to because the guy has almost no selection of bourbon and frankly doesn’t know anything about it. When I walk in, to my amazement there’s an ORVW behind the counter, as well as CEHT SmB and BP. Here I am thinking that this place has turned a corner and that I’ve possibly hit the jackpot, until I see his prices. $399.99 for the ORVW, $109.99 for the SmB, and $300 for the BP. I spoke with the owner for a few minutes and he said that he was very excited because he was going to get all of the Pappy’s next year, and they I should continue coming by. I could only chuckle at him, because I can’t imagine what he’s going to charge for PVW if he’s charging 300 for CEHT BP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's cheaper than that here in Seattle with our crazy taxes included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limegoldconvertible68 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Passed on a Blanton’s @ $74.99 and a Rock Hill Farms @$82.99. It’s been more than a year since I’ve seen them on the shelf and I’m not sure what price they should even be selling at given the way every allocated bottle in my area has seen big increases this year.

The Blanton’s isn’t too far off. Usually around $60. That RHF though...yeesh. I passed on a Bellmeade 12 SB store pick. At $104 I couldn’t pull the trigger. Also a AE Cask Strength at $219. First one of those I’ve come across on the shelf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueby Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Saw this today. WSR 1.75 for $60 was also included. You have to spend $100 on other products for the privilege of overpaying for these. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just holding onto my bourbon money for a trip to another LS next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I left 3 Michters 10 on the shelf for $180 each. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raymoall Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Passed on a Stag Jr. @$70. Little tougher were the CEHT’s at $50...but I have a few bunkered that I purchased at $40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A PS bottle I have is pretty good, and one could do worse than $26 for 101-proof BT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueby Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Passed on a lot of stuff today. EHTSiB and ECBP for $100. The EHT was on SALE! Lots of KY Owl Rye #2. I don't know if they released a LOT of it or the higher price (and less favorable reviews) kept people away. OWA PS was $60. Saw my first new label of KC today. Also saw a bunch of Old Fitz Prime. How I wish it was the BIB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
