mbroo5880i Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 (edited) Saw this on the shelf at the local Meijer today. I opted for a bottle of MMCS on sale for $34.99 and two bottles of New Riff on clearance at $30.11 each. Also, passed on HH7 BIB @ $43.99. Just wasn't feeling it today.

PaulO Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 I would pass too. Overall I say the concept is quite silly. From what I've read, back in colonial times and after, people drank very young spirits, sometimes right off the still. To deal with that, they made: punch, toddys, juleps, ... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sells way below MSRP on secondary. That's some Bud Lite level stuff there. Too soon? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried it at the distillery and liked it quite a bit. That price is the lowest I've seen it. I imagine I'd buy one or two.

As long as they don't change what's INSIDE the bottle... I wouldn’t mind a 20p proof bump, if fact I would celebrate it!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbroo5880i Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Passed on an AE Store Pick 110 proof. I have never had the Cask Strength so I was curious. However, the price was $84.99. I might have pulled the trigger at $69.99 which is the price for MM46 CS PS. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. It was actually a store selection for a grocery chain. I wonder what would happen if I popped it open for a try? I see kids eating grapes, bananas, and cookies in the store. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to the paper products aisle, grab a pack of plastic cups, open them, put them next to the bottle on the shelf. Then write "customer sample bottle" in sharpie on the bottle after you open it. Then it's really not just for you to try. You are helping them help their customers buy it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The better liquor stores in Indiana do let customers try store picks and the regular versions. I suspect grocery stores are not allowed, since I've never seen it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double C's Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Last night I passed on some Larceny BP C921(would have bought it if it was B523), Booker's Apprentice Batch(not heard great things about that batch), ECPB @ $90, MM BEP @ $125, I did buy some Tequila and beer from another store that I went to with the intent to buy those items. I have a vacation to Florida in 2 weeks and already have a store picked out to stop at and hopefully pick up some bottles that aren't available to us in Missouri.

fishnbowljoe Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 I needed to grab some beer for later. Just for convenience, I stopped at a liquor store across the street from the bowling alley after practice this morning. New owners(?), store rearranged, even more tater now. Took a look, but passed on everything. Sad . MM-$34.99 BT-$39.99 Weller SR-$79.99 ER-$89.99 Blanton’s-$199.99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
