BMartin42 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 First group wasn’t a purchase but the Christmas gifts from the in-laws. Pretty basic stuff but the Aunt in law did buy the Bacardi in Puerto Rico and had my name engraved on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMartin42 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 This group was my Black Friday purchases. The ER is $9 cheaper here in MI than I can get it at home. Took the opportunity to stock up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueby Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 It says bourbon on it. Does this count? It was an expensive Black Friday. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbstout Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I love Wisconsin...OE101 and HWRR. The RR is 2015 and the last year untill they changed the label. My guess it's the last year they used 6 year MGP and 16 year Barton. Bonus that the OE was $16 and the RR was $50. Probably one of my last "Bunker" stockpiles. I don't see myself buying much bourbon/Rye going forward with the current price hikes and hysteria. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PowderKeg Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Bought my first OF 1910 at the Lex TW on my way through KY to VA, ended up opening it and sharing with the family after the turkey - OMG!!!! That's one fantastic bourbon!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WT is going to my dad's duck camp in Havana. Really dont like shopping at Friar Tucks, as all the allocated stuff is secondary pricing. Rather not give them my money. The Binnys is a nice store, rather spend my money there, which I did in the rum aisle... Edited November 24, 2018 by gurgalunas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlutz Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 I’ve been reading the very positive reviews of JDBP here for a year or more but never pulled the trigger. Stopped in a store with a private barrel after dinner and had a taste. Wow. Really enjoyed it. Bought one for myself and one for my dad for Christmas as he’s a Jack drinker. $70 per bottle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the point of forgetting about them. There’s a liquor store in Chatham that usually has good selection including almost always having Stagg Jr for 49.99 if you’re still in the area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomLamb Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 EW BiB. For $30 bucks for 1.75L, this is wonderful. Another great find from the "bottom shelf". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I had seen it the price was in the low $20s. Before that around $18. I thought I saw where someone found it for $16, I believe in Wisconsin. Prices vary so much state to state.

I dont shop those kind of places normally. A buddy asked me to check for Old Fitz BiB while in town, nothing at Binny's, so went to Friar's on the way to the movie theater across the street. If you happen across any, I'd appreciate a heads up (if you're not buying it yourself). My dad can pick it up and get it to KC. I'm not holding my breath, expect it's all gone...

That helps me calibrate the price. I might pick one up for old times sake, especially if it is being discontinued for OEBP. I opted for WT101 for $21.99 and it is excellent compared to recent bottles. Similar to you, I shop stores I know may be on the high side, especially if close by. You never know what you might find even if it is slightly higher. We have a store like that in Indy where the price is typically $5 higher on everyday bottles but occasionally you find a bargain or a unique bottle. I know of a similar place in Louisville.

Hopefully your buddy got a consolation bottle of some sort for his effort. A good friend of mine got a Pappy 20 and an ORVW yesterday for a grand total of $248. I’m jealous as hell. The 15 and 20 are 2 of the best bourbons I’ve ever had. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
