The black was around 6000 yen or roughly $57 and SFTB was 11,000 yen or $105. They also had Old Ezra 7 at 2500 yen/$24. Didn’t have much room in my luggage after picking up scotch for my wife (Macallan 10 Fine Oak $50 and Fine Oak 12 @ $75 - these 2 are no longer sold in the states).

I'm aware of the SB, SmB, Gold, and SFTB but black is a new one to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Japanese release. It's 80 proof, and not my fav from the family. I had it at a friends house (who way overpaid) online. It gets its name from the black label and box. "red" is very similar too, for all the same reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told him that BT was back on the shelf at Sam’s, and that I bought a couple. I also told him I wished that I could find some ER at a reasonable price. Then you post this. Biba!

My state abc is on a 1 per visit policy so even if we're lucky enough to find it on shelf we only walk out with one ... and one in overcoat ... and one down pants. Is that how you did it?

fishnbowljoe Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Here’s the BT I mentioned in my post above. Liters were back on the shelf at Sam’s for $27.99. As I told Galvin0791, I gotta stock up on my favorites while I can. Retirement is on the horizon. Biba! Joe 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markandrex Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 THH for $189.99 (after seeing it two stops before at $699.99). Same place was closing out their Baker’s 7 yr. SmB for $34.99. I grabbed 4 of the 6 they had. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
