JakeySnakes Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Went to a store today I'd never been in. Everything was way overpriced, so there was a lot of passing. Some notables were Weller 107 for $139 and ECBP for $100. They did have HMck and Stagg Jr. both at $59. Didn't see what batch it was, but might go back for the Stagg Jr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bret Bret Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I'd go back for the Stagg Jr too. I can pick it up for $49 when it's here, but haven't seen it for a while. Over $59 and I would pass on it to. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marekv8 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Scrapped my coveted ticket to the “Wild Turkey Vault” with the Russells for a great lunch with great folks at Galatoire’s 33— good decision. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TehRegion219 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Easy pass, at ~$80 I can get a coupletwothree solid midshelfers for the same price.... walked out of there empty handed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kepler Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Passed on Booker's 30th at $599.00 at a store I'd never been in before. I wasn't tempted because luckily I already got one bottle from my local at $160. I'm sorry but legit businesses don't gouge with almost 4x markup. That store will never get my business for anything. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbroo5880i Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Passed on Krogmans Old Master Bourbon and Rye. Both are 3 year old age stated MGPI. Both are also bottled at 90 proof. I have only seen them at one liquor chain who has been running a special for several weeks, $24.99 per bottle. The bottles are pretty cool looking and the liquor store offers samples so I tried them. My expectations were low based on age and proof but I was pleasantly surprised. I preferred the Rye. It actually had a little rye bite to it but the finish was sweet. The bourbon is a 36% rye and while it tasted young, it also had a sweet finish. Both seem like they would be decent summer time sippers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMartin42 Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Passed on Murray Hill Club. I know I’m in the minority but I just didn’t find the Joseph Magnus to be anything particularly special so couldn’t pull the trigger for another shot at 99.99.

TehRegion219 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Another binnys and another pass at another end of bin/clearance rack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcpfratn Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Another binnys and another pass at another end of bin/clearance rack. I see 4 or 5 different bottles that I wouldn’t have passed on, and a couple of them would have been multiple bottle purchases! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcpfratn Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 The midnightmoon and the Wayne Gretzky really that good???Haha! No, I’d probably pass on those too. However, the Kavalans; the Belle Meade Madeira cask finish; the JD Legacy Edition; the Highland Park Full Volume; the Famous Grouse Ruby Cask; the Yellow Spot and Tyrconnell 15yr are great deals. I have a couple of those whiskies already, and several of the others are on my buy list if I found them at a good price. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardsandBourbon Posted July 23, 2019 Author Share Posted July 23, 2019 Stopped by Kroger Wine & Spirits today and picked this up. But I passed on Corner Creek 10 year at $59.99 and the BH Rum Finish, because I don't like finished bourbons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Benromach 15, Yellow Spot, Famous Grouse and probably a backup HP Full Volume probably would have made it home with me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueby Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Saw a couple "old style" EC on the shelf today. Picked them up and sure enough they had 12 year age stated on the back. Then I saw the price sticker...$90. And it even said "EC (12 on back)" on the sticker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard pass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would by at least a couple of those Redemption 10 year Ryes at that price. Cheapest Ive seen it is $99 i believe. Is that typical of Ft Wayne? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheapest Ive seen it is $99 i believe. Is that typical of Ft Wayne? Not really. This store 's prices have been creeping up over the past few years. They normally sell it for $99.99. What was interesting is that I saw it on an end cap with several clearance type bottles so I assumed they were just moving slow selling bottles. Then I noticed a dozen or so bottles behind the counter. I have seen a few bottles in different stores but not that many in one store. They had a lot of the KC2001 bootles marked down too. I was tempted to buy one of the high rye bourbons but opt for a couple of store picks for the same price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mross Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Just passed on a bottle of Elmer T Lee yesterday. The price point was 107, which I thought was to high as I have a bottle that I paid 80 for. I was hesitant even at 80 to buy it but was curious, still am as I have not opened it yet. At those prices though it had better be a whole lot better than WT101. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
