IamMatt Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 And no offense, but the picks I have had from the big box stores have not been that impressive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will just opt for a couple of bottles of standard OBSV and then add a couple of bottle of WT101; I will take 4:1 with comparable enjoyment. ' I have had several 4R picks over the years, including several award winners. Nothing convinces any are or were worth $125. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

' I have had several 4R picks over the years, including several award winners. Nothing convinces any are or were worth $125. oh, I definitely didn’t buy it. I shouldn’t even say it, but regular shelf bottles of 4R single barrel 100p OBSV are underrated. Also, 101 is good, but 101 rye is more my jam. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kcgumbohead Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 A couple stores around here are blowing out the Benchmark lineup for under 10 bux a bottle, you can pick from any (SB, top floor? ,BIB and a couple other variants I don't recall). I passed on all because...I don't need em and I just don't care about Benchmark. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, the initial hype Benchmark seems to have died out. Imagine - a Buffalo Trace product being ignored by the bourbon community.

0895 Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Blanton’s Gold for $169.99. the catch was it had to be bundled with a $200 Turd from Four Gates. It might be pay day, but I decided to keep my money. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kepler Posted May 21, 2023 Author Share Posted May 21, 2023 Passed on BBC Origins Rye at $75 and $80. Too expensive for a 5 year rye. I'll drink what I already have instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcgumbohead Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 I haven't passed on this in person but may as well have as there is no way I'd pony up the $. I am talking about Forbidden at 129.00 out the gate, WHAT???? The absurdity continues to ratchet up and while I cheered on Marianne as she toiled to launch C&K ( which was originally supposed to release a BiB with white corn IIRC and at no where near 129.00), this Forbidden release I just can't support. It is aptly named in that I have forbidden it from finding its way anywhere near my shopping cart. W....T....F??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
