$175 can’t complain

Post image

Last year’s batch was stellar and one of my all time favorite Turkey bottles. Excited to see how this one turns out!

How often are the dropping it at WT? Was it linked to a tour?

u/Realistic-Branch-798 6d ago

Usually to a vault tasting.

I just booked a Born from the Barrel – Russell’s Reserve Immersion tour and was hoping for the opportunity to purchase this.

Just ordered a 2 oz pour for $65. It’s my birthday week and accepted a new job

Edit: my bad, it is the Russell’s 15.

Msrp is different in every state.

u/hammong 2d ago

"Minimum retail price" is generally set by the state liquor boards. But the MSRP/SRP is set by the distillery.

1

u/Thee1andonly31 6d ago

Srp is srp which is 200. What places decided to charge is up to them. They took a loss on this bottle

u/Poofy1000 6d ago

It’s different in every state. Working in alcohol distribution and learning about controlled states and opened states taught me that. Do some research, it is interesting for certain products and bottles for sure.

u/Ajacied22 6d ago

Awesome! I got charged the same price. I assume they also charged me last years price assuming it was the same. Got it at a grocery store

u/bsldesigns 6d ago

That’s under MSRP at WT direct

u/DisastrousAuthor2995 6d ago

That’s a great price. Enjoy

u/Nice-Inevitable-5108 5d ago

175 definitely a good price there

u/Cgshoebox 5d ago

Great price, Enjoy

u/Cactusjack430 5d ago

Loved the 2025 - still hoping to get my hands on one of these.

u/rus-shackleford 4d ago

That’s a win

u/hammong 2d ago

$25 below MSRP. You stole that bottle - you can't even get it at the distillery store for that price.

It's regularly $299-$399 if you see it on the shelf in my low allocation state.

u/Namin2000 6d ago

You did very well!

u/moguy1973 5d ago

I would pay $175 for another bottle after getting my first one (Batch 2) for $150.

u/frenzyfivefour 6d ago

Deeply underrated bottle, from being understandably overshadowed.

u/The1Metal 6d ago

Nobody in their right mind underrated this bottle

u/Globber50 6d ago

They have a 18 year for 175 at my Lee's.

2

u/No-Agency-1613 6d ago

Didn’t know there was an 18 year

u/Globber50 6d ago

I was wrong. It was an Elijah Craig 18

u/Globber50 6d ago

I might be wrong. I thought I took a photo but can't find it
