Saw a bottle of the Old Ezra 7 BS going for $79.99 today. Is this a ripoff or what?

This is the most I have spent (49.99$)on that btl. I wouldn't spend more than that. This is the 1st time I have bought one since 2019ish??? The price skyrocketed and I never took another look. But like everything your budget, palate, desire,.....varies and only you can decide if it is a good deal at 70$+...

 

IMO, i'd wait and see if the price drops, if I wasn't clear enough. Lol 

 

Side note, I haven't tried the rye because of the price. I just figured it was over priced due to the whiskey craze.

 

Anyone have an opinion on the OE 7yr rye?

I definitely wouldn't buy it for that. I'm in St Louis, and the price a local shop has is $36. Wait a while until the price goes down in your area.

I'm pretty sure the Old Ezra is the standard Heaven Hill that Luxco sources.  So for $80, think about all the Heaven Hill brands you have available - high end bottles, or multiples of mid shelf.

Price go down, I have to laugh at that. I don't think I've ever seen that happen around here. lol HH and Henry McKenna has shown up though. I think $50 and $70 a bottle.

It could happen!   Here locally it WAS in the 60-75 range for a while but as @JCwhammie pointed out, its now 36.  Its good. I like it.  Its worth 36.  Not much more.

Hey if it's there I'd chose one too.  But like you, I'm not going out of my way to look for one.  

It's a good marketing gig.   My eyes were drawn to those bagged up bottles.    On another note, one of our local LS had a bottle in a glass case and wanted $99.00 for it!

Ya never know. lol I would try some at that price point of $36/$40.
