cowdery Posted March 11, 2000 Share Posted March 11, 2000 I got an e-mail from a guy who has a chance to buy a case of 12-year-old Fitzgerald at $30 a bottle. He asked me if that was a good price. I said it was a fair price, but not a bargain. Anybody disagree?- chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest **DONOTDELETE** Posted March 15, 2000 Share Posted March 15, 2000 I paid about $ 32 to $ 33 for my bottle. In my humble opinion, $ 30 is not much of a quantity discount.Mark A. Mason, El Dorado, Arkansas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest **DONOTDELETE** Posted March 15, 2000 Share Posted March 15, 2000 Single bottle price in this area is $30.99, so I agree with your call.EdEd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virus_Of_Life Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Surely this was regarding VSOF 12 year and not the actual very very old fitz, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNbourbon Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Christian, it was the VVOF -- but six years ago! I guess I could say ONLY six years ago.Anyway, to avoid confusion, from here on out I'll just provide a link to those old posts if I find something I think might still be of interest as I tour the 'archive'.

Hedmans Brorsa Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Ah, you are the "culprit"!For a short while I thought that I had travelled back in time. :grin:When I entered the General section, it all seemed so weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure I can find the info somewhere on here when it was last bottled.That means there could in fact still be some lingering on a dusty shelf somewhere? Boy wouldn't that be like finding the pot o' gold at the end of the rainbow!Actually I appreciate you reviving some of these old threads that I had yet to stumble upon. Just IMO.

bluesbassdad Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Actually I appreciate you reviving some of these old threads that I had yet to stumble upon. Just IMO.Same here, although sometimes I too fail to notice the dates of the earlier messages in a thread. Some members will lead with something like "Bump!" to alert the reader that it's an old thread being revived.Yours truly,Dave Morefield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowdery Posted May 31, 2006 Author Share Posted May 31, 2006 Looking back at that revived thread, I was a little surprised by my statement, but I must have felt it was true in 2000. I can tell you that when VVOF was in general distribution it was "premium" priced, but not outrageous, maybe comparable to something like Woodford Reserve or Knob Creek today.I will say that, in 2000, while there wasn't much VVOF around, there was a lot of SW whiskey around at various ages.

Virus_Of_Life Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Judging by the bottle of VOF that just went for $410 on Ebay, I think we'd all like a time machine to go back and load up on the VVOF. Imagine what a bottle of that would go for! :smiley_acbt:I'd be curious to know if the person that bought it is a member of this board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
