Hypothetical liquor store: $100

[k-train]

You've got $100 & you have to purchase a bottle. Which one do you choose?

Having just tried Baker's 13 this past weekend, I can attest it is fantastic.

[gurgalunas]

None of those excite me at the listed price point except the KC15.

Baker's 13yr.  For what mark ups happen regularly now, 13 years in the barrel for $90 isn't too outrageous and I love Baker's.

The Baker’s 13 impressed the hell outta me.

I thought the 8 year single barrels were good, but the 13y is “taking it to eleven”

I've had a bottle of this before, and can attest to what he says.  I would love to have another if I could find one.

Passing on all of these as well. KC15 is tempting but I haven't heard good things.

Me two.   Or three. I can’t remember. CRS kickin’ in bad.

Tough choice for me between the Baker’s and Old Fitz.  But, I’m going to go with the Old Fitz.

I’ll share my Baker’s with you...

Come on... ya know I’m going to the store with another ‘hunnerd tomorrow to get that Bakers.  In a hypothetical store world, money hypothetically grows on trees!

Let’s see, the last bottle I paid $100.00 for?  Hmmmm. I have CRS disease, so bear with me..... The last $100.00 bottle purchase that I can remember was actually a 2007 WLW. A three bottles case of my beloved 2007 WLW for $300.00.

Old Fitz it is for me!

Five bottles of WT101 (or whatever I voted for in the $20 category if I must).

 

$100 for EHTSiB and ETL is crazy talk.

I seriously thought about adding a case (12bottles) of WT101 as an option for the $125 store because I thought it'd be interesting to see if some folks would rather stock up on a well-rounded everyday sipper, or spend it all on a single bottle of something a little harder to come by, like OF Birthday Bourbon.

It would be very interesting to see the responses (whether Turkey or another inexpensive old reliable). I joke that I use WT101 as an alternate currency denomination (e.g. that bottle of Stagg Jr is 2.6 WT101). There was a day where I would take the unicorn 9 times out of 10 (even and perhaps especially if I never had it prior), but these days I think fatigue has set in and I am more apt to turn to old friends who are always there.

I'll go with flahute and some others.  I'll scan the shelves a little longer for something else.  Maybe go home with a scotch.

You’d get a lot of “I voted for bourbon X, but would definitely also get a case of WT at that price” responses.......
