If it were 90 proof or higher, I wouldve gambled on it. For some 40+ years, our local deli has been selling a house brand KSBW 80 proof. About 20 years ago when the founding family sold the deli, I learned that their bourbon was from HH. The new owners (Hi, Bill) continued selling this house brand, and it still is (or so I am told) HH 80 proof 4/4+ years. THIS post encouraged me to buy my FIRST bottle of it. So, THANKS.

parksmart Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Trying to exercise some self-restraint, even when the temptation is mighty. Passed on 3 bottles of ECBP B519 on the shelf for $47.99. Then when presented with 3 bottles of HMcK10 at $32.99, I picked up one bottle for @fosmith and left 2 behind. Far easier to pass on W12 @ $119.99 at a later stop.

Then again maybe that's a crap idea. Edited December 12, 2019 by JCwhammie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mal00768 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 I’m not sure what the frack is going on here. At least it was age stated I guess? 4 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if Beam/Suntory is aware of this obvious rip-off of their 'Devil's Cut' branding? I would assume lawyers will be involved... or should be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbroo5880i Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Traveling for work I shopped at a frequently visited store and passed on ECBP for $69.99. It was tempting since this is the first bottle I have seen on the shelf in a while. I also passed on a store pick of KCSB for $49.99. Both were priced in line with today's prices but I would rather stock up with staples. I plan to shop at a local store with a 20% off sale so I can pick up several staples and a few bottles I wouldn't normally buy for slightly more money. I like nice bottles but only at a reasonable price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kemosabe Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 I saw a shelf full of HMcK10 today @ $53.00. Too rich for me at that price, and I've got some tucked away in the bunker anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurgalunas Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Today was delivery day for ER, Blantons, Stagg Jr, EHT SmB and BH10. I've got plenty of the BT products and no interest in the 80 proof BH10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saul_cooperstein Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 At Costco over weekend passed on HH 7year BIB (hadn’t seen before) at $32.99 I think and although not bourbon also passed on pikesville at 39.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FacePlant Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 These babies are just sitting there taking up valuable shelf space in my LS. Tried to angle the camera to show how deep they are. Priced at $149.99 plus tax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCwhammie Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 I went to my local TW and saw a display of a new PS 4R, which always grabs my interest. I got excited when I saw it is OBSQ, which is one of my favorites. Then I saw the price: $89.95. Holy crap! I was under the impression these were going to stay around $70 for a while. Nope, they have gone from around $55 three years ago to $90. Hard pass. I walked out with my intended target: WTRB for $41.99. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
