Kepler Posted August 10, 2024 Share Posted August 10, 2024 22 hours ago, Kepler said: I passed on another 4R SiB PS priced at $100 last weekend. This time it was a ten year OBSO. It keeps getting worse. Today after work I went to a different store and saw another 4R barrel pick. $120. This one was an 11 year F recipe. As in "no F-ing way I'm buying that." That's the highest I've ever seen a Four Roses barrel pick priced. No thanks. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil T Posted August 11, 2024 Share Posted August 11, 2024 I was looking at a site that various FRSB recipes at $130 and an OBSK at $295. Places have lost their minds. Prost!! Phil 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but I couldn't justify spending $160 on Ubers back and forth to the flagship store. Might have to do another road trip next year then I'll have the freedom (and trunk space) to go where I want and buy what I want. Plus, I am REALLLLY trying to cut back on my buying...

Bourserker Posted August 17, 2024 Share Posted August 17, 2024 (edited) Haven't been in this discussion in a while as I'm trying to restrict myself to 6 bottles this year and I'm already at 5. Anyway, I passed on museum prices on a couple of trips when I was passing through NY. I say museum because I've seen ya'll mention the museums where the bottles are in glass cases, and that's the first time I've seen the actual "museum" style display...lol. My favorite one was a Michter's BP rye for $275...I was actually looking for one of those but that was over 2x what I'm willing to pay. Also am passing on going into any local stores (VA) for now since they decided to start putting "allocated" stuff on the shelf. In the off chance I actually see something of interest I'd probably buy it just because haven't been able to for so long.

Holy Cannoli, I wouldn't pay that either. We are "supposed" to get MBSR for circa $110 in PR aka MSRP. Based on the 22's that Obree found me, I'm willing to pay that much for a few. Didn't try the '23. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the off chance I actually see something of interest I'd probably buy it just because haven't been able to for so long. THIS re: Va's ABC policy change. Over the years, I've sort of learned which VA ABC stores in Arlington and around Fredericksburg/Spotsylvania & Louisa Counties get those "allocations" regularly and which get them only sometimes. Now that they are going on the shelves instead of into the back room, when I know I'll be traveling close to one or more of those stores, I check the ABC website that AM to see what their inventories look like. The policy change has made this a little more fun for me - more stops with only occasional "Oh, you just missed the last bottle," but it has allowed me to cut down on random drop-ins to stores and from aggressive hunting at multiple stores. Bottom line - I console myself on bad days by hitting my bunkers. Yeah, I have a couple. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The orange line will take you from midway to the south loop. It's about a 5 minute walk to the store from the Roosevelt station. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbroo5880i Posted August 18, 2024 Share Posted August 18, 2024 I passed on a lot of things. My mind was in a blur as I ran into the store to get MM46 and KC9 for $20 each. Daddy don't have time to shopping when he knows what he wants. Oh ok, I saw a bottle of Larceny BP at the register. I thought about it for about no time and told the clerk to sack my purchase so I could get on down the road. He asked if I wanted a receipt. I asked if it would slow me down waiting on one. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
