HoustonNit Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 This place seems to be in its own world..I think theyll stay at that price for a little longer. The kind of place that still has KC9 year age stated available and the actual yellow label FR (not tan). Bought some FC6 there a couple months ago. But yeah good price on the Bakers.Oh wow, no joke I’m clearing the shelf if I ever see 6yr FC again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same. Seeing as how I just picked up a bottle at $190 today for a friend I would have also bought that one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally understandable. I am definitely a victim of allowing my personal price threshold to creep up as prices have increased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Postal Grunt Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 While on my way over to the whiskey dept at Gomer'sKS, I passed up an offer of a taste of Skrewball. The idea of a blend of peanut butter and whiskey makes me shudder every time I think of it. Such a cruelty to impose on an unsuspecting public but the store manager said that for a temporary novelty it's selling very well and as long as people want it, he'll have it in stock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedelstaedt Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Passed on Lone Whisker 12yr. About $200. Hard to fathom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a cruelty to impose on an unsuspecting public but the store manager said that for a temporary novelty it's selling very well and as long as people want it, he'll have it in stock.I’m mostly a traditionalist when it comes to whiskey, drinking most things neat, but occasionally I get in the mood for a simple cocktail, which means something sweet is usually added. So, if you ever drink cocktails or enjoy a liqueur of any kind, and you like peanut butter, why wouldn’t you at least give it a try if it was free? I admit that I thought it sounded weird too, and I usually haven’t liked most of the flavored whiskeys that I’ve tried (they’re all basically what I’d call a liqueur), but Skrewball actually surprised me...I think it’s pretty darn good! So, give it a try next time...it might actually surprise you, and become an alternative liqueur to add to your liquor cabinet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFan Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Better to sample a free shot instead of buying the whole bottle and regretting that if it really was stomach turning. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marekv8 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I saw plenty of extreme gouging in New York yesterday, but catching a $599.99 2019 Birthday Bourbon at a store I typically visit and support was a big disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was skeptical as well, took a free sample, and was surprised. It tastes like liquid Reese’s. Im probably not going to buy one, but I enjoyed the sample. Probably would be good with ice cream. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wont be a buyer but I can see it as a viable occasional alternative to a bourbon cream. Flavor is supposed to be derived from peanut oil and not an artificial flavoring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supercharger Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Easy pass on OFBIB 13yr at $249.99. What had me shaking my head was that there were three bottles on the shelf two weeks ago and now there’s one. Other notables were Black Maple Hill $119, Blantons $99, BM Reserve $80, WSR $60. Which is odd because they have reasonable prices on things like WFE 4yr Rye at $64, BT at 2/$50, and really cheap prices on craft beers. Sad cause it’s a nice place.

Yeah, I know what you mean, flahute! Those damned things are so TASTY!!! If this stuff tastes even a bit like 'em, I may have to scoop up a bottle myself. ...Never expected to say that!

Kane Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I regularly attend college parties (part of the job) where $15 a bottle is the ceiling for premium spirits. It's decided, I'll blow minds with my Skrewball next time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was offered a taste of this stuff today at my favorite local retailer (while picking up the last of the available ER pick we did a little while back). I'll say this about it: it does taste a good deal like I imagine Reeses Peanut Butter Cups would taste if liquefied in ethanol (nod to 895 ). And, I'll go a bit further and say it wasn't awful; but it WAS AWFUL SWEET, and RICH. I think I may have gotten a small cavity from that 1/4 oz. taste. I passed on buying a bottle though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same experience here. Took advantage of a free taste at Total Wine and HOLEE CRAP was it sweet! Not something I would purchase or drink with any regularity, but it wasn't the worst thing I've tried, so I suppose it has that going for it!
