fosmith Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Saw that K&L has Knob Creek 12yr. 100 proof at $55. Passed. Can't see that it would be as good as an older store pick for less $$. Curious if anyone has tried it yet... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I was able to snag a bottle a few weeks back and haven't seen it since...so in that respect it was a good purchase. From a taste standpoint its really great too!

Not a fan of Booker's at all so I would consider it infinity times better. The question for me would be is it 3x better then then a well aged KCSiB pick. Really 2x as I keep being told those bottles won't be $40 in 2020. I do not have a current KC pick to do a SBS, but overall I would say yes, it is that much better. I thought LB3 was balanced, had nice layered flavors and depth and a really good mouthfeel/viscosity. Whether it is worth the asking price is an individual decision, but the juice is legit.

PhantomLamb Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Sheesh, I may pick this up then. Wasn't prepared to spend $120 but if it's a solid pour, it could be a present to myself lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JvW Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Weller 107 @ $149.99...a bit high!!! I paid about a 1/4 less than 12 months ago for a Weller 12 in the same store where I buy exclusively when I am home...it just rubs me the wrong way when stores do this. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Areno Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Got a text from a local LS that they got 1 bottle of WLW. Had a price tag of 499.99 on it. Passed on that bottle but it did sell with in the hour for asking price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fosmith Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 I stopped in to my local supermarket. get supplies for the upcoming blackout and passed on Blantons. They had three bottles in the case at $70 ea. Strange that I've never seen this on the shelf at any LS around here but Safeway occasionally has it. Maybe they'll get some BTAC this year.

MDBourbon Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Passed up on an OESV PS. The store just rubs me the wrong way. It was $69.99 which is pretty normal around here + $5-10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCwhammie Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 The sticker made me laugh. I didnt know there were still bottles of this that said "bourbon mash." It must not have had the selling power they were hoping. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry in WashDC Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 (edited) Four Roses 2019 Limited Edition Small Batch (and it was not the Select). MSRP is supposed to be around $145 IIRC. Online stores are offering it and past releases in the $250-$350 range. Local store had ONE @ $400 firm. Passed on it but picked up a discounted, older batch of Murray Hill Club to share at Christmas. EDIT - Hoping it lasts that long. Edited October 31, 2019 by Harry in WashDC A thought crossed my mind. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can probably give you some production background on it if you like. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richnimrod Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Passed on a PH . . . at $170 or so OTD. Couldn't pull the trigger at that rate. The mixed reactions I've seen, along with my distinct preference for Bourbon over Rye made it an easy pass. Saving my bux for the new Little Book, if it ever shows around here.

Paddy Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I know it’s good, but I’ve been passing on the LB III. Admittedly, the decision was made easier by the fact that the last couple of ECBP releases have been pretty generous in the areas I frequent (so I used the savings to buy more). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnbowljoe Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 We did our regular weekend shopping yesterday, and I passed on everything. Most notably WSR @ $29.99, (thanks for the heads up Mike) and BT on sale @$21.99. Even though I have a crap ton of both, it was still hard to pass on ‘em . Biba! Joe PS. FWIW, we do have to go out briefly again today. One never knows. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSJon Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Just saw Henry McKenna marked at $89. I see it around town marked at $39. I pass on it at $39 but I truly thought I was reading the tag wrong when I saw the price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
