marshall9779 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I’ll be taking a work trip to Coeur d’Alene ID in August. Any recommendations bars with good selections, liquor stores, and generally how the store pricing is of it’s around msrp or inflated for the most part. Seems like it’s a controlled state but may be some independently run stores, not sure. Will be flying in and out of Spokane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything in Washington will have mega high taxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently attended whiskey event at a local store that featured many previously raffle-only libations including Old Fitzgerald 13, Weller 12, OWA, RHF, ETL, Mr. Sam etc. These items were available FCFS with a three bottle maximum and no multiple purchases permitted. It was amazing to see numerous cases of these products available for sale. There are more of these events planned in the coming months...

Thanks for the link. They do have some stuff in stock that I can never find. Don’t see any Weller listed when I searched. A Stagg Jr. might have to fly home with me if they still have.

Do they make you buy a turd bottle like the Farmswill or BO 5 to get the others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they will be handing out wristbands and allowing attendees to select their preferred libations, (probably limited to 3 with no duplicates again).

marshall9779 Posted July 4, 2019 Author Share Posted July 4, 2019 I’ll be there 8/21-27. I’ll be on third shift though the 25th - 27th. Let me know if anyone wants to grab a drink and/or cigar the 21st - 24th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshall9779 Posted July 17, 2019 Author Share Posted July 17, 2019 Only found one place so far that has a spirits menu online. Bardenay. Nothing crazy but they do have 12 Year ECSmB listed for 6 bucks. We will see if it’s just a legacy menu item and not just the NAS version it currently is. They do have house made spirits but all clear except for a run that is a straw color. Not sure if they age at all. Only thing in the Idaho store inventory that is catching my eye that I’ve haven’t seen where I live is CEHT Rye. Not sure I am willing to spend $70 for it though. Seems readily available.

marshall9779 Posted July 29, 2019 Author Share Posted July 29, 2019 Looks like they have MTMK Decades on sale right now for $75. Don’t have much if any experience with WT but for nearly half of MSRP might be worth picking up if I can still find a store nearby that has. My buy a 375 of 101 after I get there for the stay to refresh my palate and see if it will be worth it. Any opinions on Decades appreciated.

marshall9779 Posted August 7, 2019 Author Share Posted August 7, 2019 They do have WTRB on sale for $35 for the month so if all else fails that might fly home with me for $10 cheaper than I can find locally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshall9779 Posted August 20, 2019 Author Share Posted August 20, 2019 WTRB still on the table but is now between that and a regular FRSib that I can get for $17 cheaper after a recent price hike where in my county stores.Flying out tomorrow so again if anyone in the area wants to grab a drink and/or cigar let me know. Tomorrow evening through Saturday evening works for me. Start third shift Sunday through Tuesday and fly back out Wednesday so won’t be able to those days.
