I somehow managed to pass on the Kentucky Owl Dry State stuff as well. Is anyone going to buy this stuff? Seems insane to me. The last batch (9?) of KO bourbon still is a shelf turf around here, as well as KO rye batches 2/3. 

 

Yes, but NOT me!  I told him not to buy it - "Not worth the $$$ IMHO".   Did he listen?  No and heck no.  Then I asked him if he would adopt me.   ?

That is unfortunately pretty much +/- $5 of retail on the OWA anymore. Maybe slightly higher for the CEHT.

OWA is now $99-$100 in nashville and surrounding areas for me. Passed multiple times this year

$49.99 OTD here in Beantown for WA107.  Monthly deliveries of WSR, WA107, Blanton's, BT, ER10.  Sometimes, W12 and ETL show up, too.  Ahhh, life is good.   ?

Sure do, buddy.  And if you come to Beantown, you'll be right next to the bunker (no lock)..   ?

Saw this today for $40 (they also had a bunch of the Ezra Brooks Disteller's Collection for $35). Thought for a sec about giving it a try, but decided to pass because the little bit that I have read/heard about these releases hasn't been particularly favorable.

Passed on Little Book Chapter 4 for $125 and MM101 for $40.99 at one store and THH for $499.99 at another store.  I ended up buying two OF100 for $18.69 each.

Nowadays, I see HW products stocked wide and deep everywhere.  I don't see the one above, but maybe three or four of their other brands.  It's like there is a practically unlimited supply, or no one is buying.  I can't say I'm too interested in purchasing.

A few years ago I splurged on a bottle of Rendezvous Rye and it was one of the biggest disappointments I've had.  I have no desire to buy any of their products ever again.

THH at one place for $699.99.  Two stops later $189.99, ok that’s yes. 

Definitely not egregious at $190, but not worth it to me, IMO.

 

Thanks,

My boys are both rye fans so I thought it would be a good Thanksgiving bottle.

At least I got to see it in person this year. The ER17 is my dream bottle of BTAC

499.99/599.99 perfectly sane and reasonable but they get crazy and mark that shit up to 500.00/600.00?  Then I am OUT!!! NO F'n WAY!!!

Had one of these picks recently from binnys. it was not very good at all. Had a couple different EB picks, tho, & think they are very good.

Even though I get weak kneed at a price like that, I would not have hesitated one second, even at $190.  My Gold Standard rye.

Saw a CEHT BP in the wild today for the first time in awhile.  The $319.99 price tag was an easy pass.

might take revisits?  I recently picked up an EWSB that was bland and disappointing.  But after lots premium WT I liked it.  And today really enjoying it.  I've had stuff hated then tried it again a year later a liked it.  Never know.
