The Black Tot Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Passed on these in Texas two weeks ago... Good prices, but as I stated in another thread, I'm waiting for them to grow up to be OWA. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSkyDrams Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Was traveling for work yesterday and turned it into a mini-hunt, hitting a handful of stores in small towns and a few in bigger towns that I rarely visit. Best offer I got was ORVW for $200. Left empty-handed. Today I was offered a KO Confiscated for $150, which was an easy pass. Hoping my passes turn into some good karma since my local got a handful of PVW15 and is selling at $150! That, I will gladly purchase if given the chance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbroo5880i Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 (edited) While I really like it, I passed on the latest release of OF1910 at the local Meijer for $60.99. That is a $10 increase from last year. I will shop around a little to see if I can find a better price.

I enjoy both WTKS and RRSB profiles, although they are definitely different to me. I have had a couple of private picks of WTKS that were so outstanding that I would gladly pay more than the going RRSB rate to acquire more.

Guss West Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Count me as a Turkey fan who underestimated WTKS until this very week. I was privileged enough to find a WTKS single barrel private selection that is stunning and worth every bit of the $50/bottle I paid for the six pack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, one of the stores has a solid liquor guy and he has really stepped up their game. They had MM RC-6 recently for $45.99 which I foolishly passed only to return and find it gone. They have a solid a nice OF1920/Signature set for $60., a nice set of 3 cask strength 375 MM - MM, 46 and 46 private select - for $69.99, New Riff for $31.99 plus several standards for solid prices. They regularly stock Whistle Pig for $69.99. He occasionally gets Bookers and other difficult to find offerings at decent prices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven C Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 ^Some of those are in the Chicago-burb stores too...but not the RC-6 (that *was* a buy, I think)! And the New Riff... nice to have a guy who's on the ball. I might have to have a talk with our Chicago dudes!! ; ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THX. I wondered. Your palate is close enough to mine (based on years of reading your comments) that I'll put this one on hold unless/until I get a free (or inexpensive!!) taste. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am NOT going to drive down there for something I haven't tasted yet. The other MMCS PSs I've purchased were in MD and DC, and they were all under $65, and I got to taste them first.

mbroo5880i Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I passed on KO 10 year for $128. No interest. I also passed on Bakers Single Barrel for $50 and OF1910 price unknown. I plan to go back tomorrow when then liquor guy is there and get more info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a bunch in Arlington and McLean and a lot more in the Dulles area but I didn't want to spend $70 on an unknown when the regular MM is right in my wheelhouse.
