[OE 101 7YR picture deleted to save space/ H] FWIW, I have squirreled away a few of these for opening and sipping on while cleaning up the yard in the Fall. I get a whiff of mushroom, leaf mold, black dirt, and visions of evenings sitting by a fire whenever I sip. The sipping is a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob_Loblaw Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Picked up a Blaum Brothers 12 year and a WTRB yesterday. Haven’t had the RB in about a year. Bought the last bottle for $28 and distributor raised prices significantly. My store finally caved as both me and the owner were craving . $43 now Still, so good. Trying it over ice today as it’s only 2pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying it over ice today as it’s only 2pm. If you don’t mind me asking, what did the Blaum Bros. 12yr (I assume cask strength) set you back? I picked one up earlier this week at retail at the almost ridiculous price of $99. I wouldn’t ordinarily be willing to pay that much, but the other Blaum Bros. 10 and 11yr that I’ve had (MGP sourced) have been pretty darn good, and I paid that for the 11 yr old that was a private selection and cask strength.

It’s pricey, but like you said the juice has been very good. Quite possibly my favorite pour from last year. I had the chance to buy as much as I wanted of an 11 yr store pick at $72 and did not know enough to pull the trigger. Big regret, but at least I got 2 of em. I’d be a buyer at $99 and per my store this run is the last of the MGP juice Blaum has. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigSkyDrams Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Picked up a W12 for $47. Lucked into it somewhat. The store sent out an email to the top 20% of buyers on their rewards program about putting out a case of ECBP, but the sender accidentally clicked the wrong group and sent it to the whole rewards program. Worked out for me, because I probably wouldn’t have bought the ECBP anyway, as I’m still nursing a bottle of the same batch and have a few others bunkered. Anyhow, to make up for the oopsie he re-emailed the 20% group offering one of either W12 or OWA, and I gladly snapped one up. I was chatting with the employee who checked me out as to why the OWA is being sold for more than the W12, at $52 for the OWA. Seems backwards. He told me the state warehouse raised the price for retailers on both, and the store markup has not changed. So I guess I’ll have to get used to $47 for the W12 (though that has got to be close to my limit), and probably won’t be buying much more OWA in state.

kemosabe Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Found a bottle of 4R PS OBSQ @ 11Y/2M for $70 + tax and bought it. I've never tried the OBSQ so I thought, "What the heck?" It's got good age for these days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
