Excited to see what you do for a barrel pick!!! I just got back from a trade! I traded a guy two blantons an eagle rare and 50 bucks for a M10 bourbon, well because I was not too far from downtown louisville I stopped at michters and me and the old lady were able to do a bottle your own and I got bombergers. Then I hit a store on the same block and snagged an old forester single barrel barrel proof! Such an awesome day! Expensive one but a good one
If I were a distributor and I knew this cat wasn’t selling allocated to customers or was gouging I wouldn’t partner with them. Not smooth, not smooth at all.
I found a one room liquor store in GA, behind a gas station. They had ER for 39.99. I talked about how that's the best price I've ever found that for. Lady told me it was bc the distributor came in and saw they had it priced at 80. They said come down off that price or they'd stop giving it to them.
I looks like he is keeping 1 and selling the rest if he gets multiple. Buy the looks of it a lot of those he probably got at least 1 case or multiple. Its not like he has multiple of the same bottle. He has different releases of the same bottles but not the exact same bottles.
I know you skimmed right past that Jeffersons beside that knob creek 15 but, that's a old sourced whiskey from Stitzel-Weller distillery AKA OG Julian Van Winkle. Low batch numbers command a mint. Cheers!
I seen you pick up the Old Forester Single Barrel , I have not to date been able to find one , I enjoy and Have the enter line up of Old Forester including the 1924 and King Ranch and of course not the Birthday , sure I will never see that one.... Thanks
I live 20 minutes from that store in Aynor. The owner and son are complete know it alls, will never spend a dime in that store.. absolutely is indeed a bourbon prison
That Jack SBBP Rye special release was my unicorn until they just start making it a mainstay for $65. So Whatever that shop is asking for is nuts because all you're paying or is the special release insignias because the barrel selection criteria are the same (at least that's the company line).
I just stopped at the second store for the first time the other day passing through. Guy was nice, but contradicting himself saying its a ridiculous bubble but theyre selling stuff at secondary values. I get needing a profit but 400 for stagg when retail is 65.
I had a bad experience with a Woodinville store pick. Was excited about the proof and it being local distilled and aged. The nose was nothing special. The taste was way too harsh, and had the worst finish of any whiskey I’ve tried. Ended up giving it to family who will use it in cocktails, even in an old fashioned it’s nothing special.
@@Bourbon_Hunter yeah it’s a spirits direct brand which might be a turn off because they normally aren’t that great but Old Emmer Cask Strength definitely does good on my Palate.
Maybe this store owner should ask Buffalo Trace why they haven't increased their MSRP, even though their products are in such high demand. I bet he'd change his mind on hoarding all of those Blanton's.
@@Bourbon_Hunter Yeap everything is expensive 🫰 in the UK when it comes to bourbon but I have found a bourbon supplier from the US that will ship to the UK
found my first 1.75 buffalo trace and 1.75 weller special reserve this weekend and had to get them never seen the big bottles in person before and both at $50 was a heck of a price
This might be an unpopular opinion but I don’t hate a smaller “museum” store like that once in awhile. Kinda fun to see the rare bottles. It’s either that or not see anything cool since the likelihood you’re gonna be the one who gets to buy it at MSRP is virtually zero
100% agree. There's a gas station liquor store in my home town with an amazing selection but horrible prices. When I was in the area last year I stopped in and it was just cool to see everything in one place
honestly 130 for that blantons at second store isnt that bad if you order it online its like 160 plus the shipping and if you like it and want to get it at a store in nc here where i am its already promised to buddies of the abc stores at least it wasnt 200 like i see often
@@C_GOODIES but if ya like it ya like it and i do im mr potatoe head himself no shame at all saying its my fav and dont mind paying 100+ for it because i like it. its basic supply and demand would pay 130 all day over standing in line like a peasant or “hunting” for it
Love the content! Btw the Michters toasted BS you pointed out (20G+batch/barrel#) is from 2020July (yes they released it again in 2023) every 3 years they rotate and you can readily read the year and month on the neck. Keep up the good work!
My stepdad has a bottle of the bicentennial...he actually cracked it and shared some with me when I was visiting a couple weeks ago. Probably the only time I'll have something that expensive/dusty
There’s no bubble hate gonna be bursting. The problem is MSRP is too low relative to market demand and that consistently been the case for the last decade. Every other market this happens in, MSRP eventually just creeps up. Exactly what happened in scotch whisky
Not crazy! I paid close to $180-$190 for mine and I think its a great bottle I would wait until you can strike a cash deal or tax free weekend or something
7:20 Crown Royal cask 16. Some of the best bottles I have are due to me trading CR Cask 16 bottles. Regret opening 2 over the years knowing what I can get for one. I would trade a ETL for an OF Single barrel 100 proof in a blink. Who in their right mind would pay 300 for one?
@@Bourbon_Hunter Have you had that Cask 16? I've own 3 when it first came out and then it was UNBELIEVABLE!!! Wish I would have held onto a bottle. Think I paid around $120 back then.
I found a rare in my area a bakers 7 for 63 or 7+ tax. Is that a good price? I've only been to 1 allocation drop am a beginner. I don't see it anywhere else but this one store has 3 bottles. 😊
It’s a shame that these are just collecting dust. Would like to see decanters make a comeback. My father collected them and I can’t say how many he had but it was a bunch mostly sportsman related or firearms related and unfortunately after he died they disappeared. Second wife had control.
Don’t be too hard on Total Wine. The big box stores less likely to gouge than dear old mom and pop. Shelf space is everything to them. They put it on the shelf so it can come off the shelf so they can put another on the shelf. They don’t want bottles sitting around waiting for daddy warbucks to come in. And if it’s behind glass, they are overcharging your ass.
I got a driftless Glen bourbon pick from total wine in Columbia and it was overwhelmingly clove. I hated it. I thought maybe it’ll open up with some air so i poured a 2oz sample for a friend. Still terrible
Well 5 of em bottles u filmed are in my house so I don’t see how it a bourbon prison. He does look out for his loyal customers. His brother you talked to in the Myrtle Beach episode. They have a vast knowledge wine and spirits. Don’t be a tool.
I legit can't wait for the bourbon bubble to bust. I live in NorCal and these greedy shop owners are just blatantly charging secondarymarket prices when they are the primary market is criminal behavior. Also legit screw flippers, what theyre doing is literally illegal, if people had more common sense than money they would just be reporting the flippers to the authorities.

Found my first bottle of blantons in the wild & it was $200 & buffalo trace was $60 💔💔
They both taste the same honestly. Pay for a pour at a bar then if you really want one for display pick up and empty and fill it with cheap stuff.
