The confidence you have in that left-handed bottle flip is unmatched 😂
Dye Hands my man 🫴🏼🎲
Agreed !
That Barbados rum was distilled by Foursquare, who are one of the best rum producers in the world. No additives unlike 99% of other rums - good stuff!
It was quite amazing! If it wasnt 90+ out the door I would own one!
Great video as always! That store pick miss was sad to see 🤣. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching! Im still twisted about it… 🥲
Thanks for the heads up on the Widow Jane!!! Stopped in and picked them both up on my way back to Virginia from Daytona.
Heck yeah!
Yellowstone is from Limestone Branch Distillery. The master distiller is a Beam but that product comes out of Lebanon KY. Great distillery to tour if you ever have a chance. Cheers 🥃
I really appreciate your content as a bourbon fan from the Carolinas. Next time I get to Jacksonville I will check out some of these spots. Thank you!
I appreciate you watching! 🥃
Man, that OESQ at the door! Wish it was a little older than 9 year. Nice pickup on the Benchmark, great bottle for the price. And looking forward to sipping my FL 🦬 🥃
Thank you for supporting the channel! 🥃
@@Bourbon_HunterI went there and tried that four roses and it was dynamite. $109 but hey. Picked me up the Russell 10 year at Shores…great value there. Good content
I bought a New Riff single barrel at 113.4 proof and wasn’t impressed, so it sat for a while. I finally tried it again and now I can’t stop drinking it. Great video. I wish I could find the Four Roses single barrel, barrel strength.
Thats how Jack Daniels single barrel bp was for me. Absolutely hated it first try.
@@stevencrowder6075 I’m looking for that one too. Thanks
Ive had the same experience with New Riff Single Barrels. They are so good after they open up
I had a great bourbon haul this weekend. I was able to pick up a Blanton’s Gold Store Pick $179, Old Forrester Single Barrel 100 Store Pick $89, Hardin’s Creek Clermont $170, Eagle Rare Single Barrel Store Pick $65, and Corazon Tequila Expressions George T. Stagg Anejo $80.
HOLY MOLY! Where are located I need to visit!
@@Bourbon_Hunter I live in Pasadena CA.
Would you do a video of the bottles in your collection?
Where in Pasadena did you find this? I’m in the valley
The Sagamore BiB is good but the 5 year is last year’s bottle. Haven’t cracked my 6yo BiB yet but can’t wait to compare!
Thats going to be a good breakdown either way! Cheers!
Great video. Hopefully you can make your way down to the Tampa/St. Pete area. Tons of great spots to find bourbons and whiskeys. At Sam’s Club, you can find RR10 for low $20 range and HH BiB for low $30 range.
Maybe one day!
We just left Golden ox store bc of this video, we got the buffalo trace barrel pick, peerless double oaked for 79.99 and they also had a 1792 full proof pick for 59.99 that we picked up but the best part was the owner was in house and next door has a bourbon bar were they had everything you can dream of, had a pour of Elijah Craig C923, best experience I’ve had at a liquor store hands down
Heck yeah! Im happy yall went and supported them! Great score all around! Wish I got a BT store pick 😂🥃
I was able to try a sample of that New England barrel select cask strength a couple weeks ago when I was up to New Hampshire. The owner was doing tastings at one of the liquor stores up there. It was really good, he had another one that was lower proof, but my choice would’ve been that Cask strength.
Awesome video BH! Keep up the great videos!
Thanks! Will do! 🥃
Hey man. Love your videos and good to see you hunt in my back yard. Shores is a great spot and that Russell 10 yr is great for the price.
Yes! Thank you for watching! 🥃
Went hunting once I saw the vid. I am further south, so those shops are out of my way. Got myself the BT store pick at Ox and they had the new Travellers also. Gonna try the Sagamore also.
Heck yeah! I wish I could have had some local guidance when I was there 😂
Best Fiddler pick I've had is from Pooler Package in Pooler GA. It's a store you've been to previously
I passed on that Fiddler and got a Short Barrel Bee’s Knee’s. I guess I gotta go back to Pooler Package 🤷🏻♂️
The malted rye is by far the best product New Riff makes IMO. Sagamore BIB is incredible.
The Port Finished from St Augustine is delicious! I highly recommend it for a craft, finished, bourbon!!
Good to know! I wanted a sample but “only the owner can give out samples” and he wasnt there that day so I passed 🤷🏻♂️
I'll be touring the distillery in April when we go on vacation down there. I went there in 2021 and they didn't have many offerings. I'm ready to try everything they have now. Especially their finished stuff.
The New England barrel company has some interesting stuff. A local store in mass just had a 130 proof store pick they did, was delicious
I guess they distill and age all of their own stuff?
Pumped you got the Sagamore 8 year.
PHENOMENAL bottle.
Hard to find.
Batch 2A is where you want to be vs Batch 1A.
Love the content!
Thank you for watching! 🤙🏼🥃 Cheers!
Good hunt, great area and awesome vid and pickups!
Glad you enjoyed!
fun hunt. good stuff
I would have grabbed two of Russell’s 10 for that price, but I am down to bottle kill point on the one I have. Nice grabs the sagamore is great, I love their port finish and I picked up a “Select Reserve” that is a Maple Cherry Cask Finish (a six-year rye finished in a maple barrel and a five-year rye finished in a cherry brandy barrel so two barrels total for the release) they call it Cherry Pancakes and it is very good.
Cherry Pancakes sounds so good!
st. augustine distillery is a great spot to visit if you get a chance. their stuff isn't mind-blowing or anything (even though i do personally enjoy most of them), but their processes and how much they care about what they do and how they do it is great.
BH!!! Damn, I wish I knew you were in my hometown!! You visited 3 of my 5 honey holes. Glad you found ur Sagamore 8 year. I must have just missed you cause I picked up 2 of those BT store picks a week ago.
Dont remind me… im so twisted I didn’t see that 🫠🥃
Where you by?
@@berniecuadra3664 Mandarin area myself, not far from WW.
What are the other 2 honey holes please?
You missed The Representative bottle! Highly recommend it. Better than most of the bottles in its price range. High proof and bold flavors.
The new riff malted rye is amazing. I always have backups. Go back and get it u won't regret it.
Good video as always. Man… missed that store pick. 🥴😂😂
Im so upset about it. Didn’t even see it till editing last night either 🫠
That 6yr malted new riff is awesome!
I should have got it! Darn!
The Four Square is not old school the 2010 is when it was distilled and it was the 2023 yearly release. It's really good!
Good to know I liked the way the bottle looked!
Meanwhile HV Worthy Park 10 year and Hampden 8 year are chilling behind you in the rum section.
I know nothing about rum my man educate me!
@@Bourbon_Hunter the HV WP 10 is one of the best middle ester rum releases habitation velier has done. Hampden 8 is a great moderate age low ester rum. The pere labat on that sale rack is a really nice rum Agricole which is made from cane juice rather than molasses like the other two mentioned. Makes me want to go to Florida for rum lol
HV is basically the top line rum brand along with kill devil.
Stop at brown bag at the Florida Georgia border, Georgia side. Great store picks, got a bottle of fiddler toasted last time I was there and they had fiddler store picks as well
I did! Wasn’t a whole lot to film. I’ll go by next time when I have more free time to talk to the manager and stuff
Not sure if they still have them but Macon Beverage Outlet in Macon GA had a killer Fiddler pick. I’ve gone through multiple bottle of it.
You found one of my honey holes in Jacksonville, Florida for store picks. Let me know when you are coming back and I’ll show you a couple more great spots. 🥃
Also, always buy two of the bottles you like, especially if the price is right!!!
With Store picks a must…gonna go back and pick up them four roses picks…had a sample and was blown away with the complexity.
You saved yourself some money on the Chattanooga Cab finish. Wasnt very good IMO. Those 1792 BIB are tasty, I dont have a store pick though which I heard are a bit better. Glad you found the 8 yr Sagamore. Those are pretty rare, still haven’t seen one in GA.
I have a 1792 bib store pick and its so delicious
The Chattanooga Cab is a Single Malt. It’s very unique. I only use it with Cigars as it’s super heavy oak with some sweet. Not the best on its own.
Interesting. Thank you for sharing! In glad I did not pick it up!
😂 when you 1st picked up the BiB Sag I was saying get it but dammit grab that 8 yr 😂😂
I am back in FL for the week but no time to hunt this time so picked up the last bottles needed for my Benchmark vertical as not sold in New England. So blind vertical with friends happening soon. All stores out of stock of the Sagamore 8yr, Rum cask, Sherry & BiB where I am.
Young man, you need to step up your game a bit and explore some good Irish whiskey. Last two tastings I did with my bourbon group and friends was Irish. Did a Redbreast vertical and a Writers Tears (including limited editions). Next tasting the member who got to decide picked Glenfiddich 12 , 15, 18 & 21. So will be fresh cracking all of them my next hosting turn.
So many great whiskies around the globe.
Have a rye and a limited edition Redbreast vertical planned this year as well.
Just had a Sagamore tasting at members home and damn was it fantastic. He had so many distillery only and limited runs.
Keep up the great vids Hunter. Enjoy watching your whiskey journey my friend.
I appreciate you watching! I’ll check out that redbreast 🥃
Another great bottle at the second store on your video was Garrison brothers cowboy bourbon. It was next to the new riff you were looking at. Pricey but a great experience different from Kentucky bourbon.
Pricey for sure! Ive never tried that one! Its tough for me to jump on the Texas whiskey train
The best Texas Bourbons are amazing. The rarest bottle was the Laguna Madre by Garrison Brothers and I may take the ride for it. It's only released every 2 years at 3500 bottles or less.
Tiny Liquor Store right down the street from my house in Largo,FL has all that. I think most of the liquor stores in florida have them. Visit ABC Spirts in Florida also.
Good to know!
Bench mark is all over FL and just now hitting the shelves in East TN
The New Riff Malred Rye "Is the Way". Single Barrel's or Balboa Rye are the next option.
I promisebyou. I have sampled or own just about every New Riff. I've been on multiple tours as well. The Malted Rye is the one.
Heck yeah! Thanks for the info!
Great content as always
Appreciate it! 🥃
I was just there last weekend and went to Riverside and Shores Liquor, a different one than you did and they had a RR13 for a bit over MSRP that i snagged.
Nice!!!! Thats a great bottle!
The 6 yr 100% malted rye from New Riff is excellent. They had a great price on B-trace. I didn't see the sticker either fir the store pick. I tell people it's harder than you think to spot everything when looking through the back of a camera. My biggest question is how are they selling Costco's Kirkland SiB special release🤔😆
From what I know. This may be wrong. When product is overstocked at distributers they offer it to smaller stores to clear up warehouse space
There are some great spot out on the east side of town. You can really hit the jackpot at the local Winn Dixie's
I looked around a couple of those with no luck
I’m a fan of that Pikesville Rye that was next to the heaven hill bib
You are the first person I have heard that has recommended that! What are some of the notes on it? I am interested.
That Bardstown Founders is great if you like stouts (which i do).
It’s easy to find hard to get allocated stuff. But I’m not paying 200 for weller 107 and 200 for JD10. Buffalo trace is like 50 here. They can keep it all at those prices. Much better stuff out there to drink.
seeing traveler everywhere and keep passing on it
Smart move. Don't fall for BT's marketing.
I bought one the other day finally and it indeed is mid
That place is a gold mine!
I feel fortunate living across the river from Louisville I can get Buffalo Trace anytime I want anywhere but other places it's like finding Rock Hill
Its always crazy to me to see what other places have
Great video! I'm going up to the New Riff distillery in two weeks, and I live in the Charleston area. If you want a bottle let me know. I'll have some extras to trade, because It is so hard to find here.
If you come across something unique at their distillery hollar at me on Discord Please!!!
That New Riff malted is a great bottle.
That 8 year sagamore rye is an amazingly delicious bottle
I love Riverside Liquors, around the corner is a Publix that get good stuff..
I checked out the publix that day it didnt have anything the day I was there! Great stops all around tho!
Burlock and barrel was about 2 miles from there
And citrus distillery
State minimum for that Russel 10 in MI is 44.99, hope I can find them at that price when I go to FL coming up!
Looking back if I had more room in the truck I should have gotten another!
NR Malted Rye is incredible.
When I was editing the video, I regretted not grabbing that bottle
come to orlando
benchmark full line $20, new riff store pick, heaven hill $50 everywhere, plenty more!
Don’t tempt me! 👀🥃
Yessssss sagamore is so freaking good!!! Wish you picked up that bottles in bond to. Don’t see that ever.
I wish i could own them all! 🥲🥃
Damn you gotta come to Tampa now, Id take to so many amazing stores with insane bottles around here!
Its on the list now!
Recommendations? The Total Wine and ABC's are OK, but I'd like to check out some others. Thanks!
That New Riff 6 year old is fantastic
Ive never had a malted whiskey like that so
Some random shop in the middle of nowhere we got a Russell's 13 for a good price
Burris liquor on meeting st. In Charleston had a buffalo trace single barrel last week. I picked up a bottle. Not sure if they still have it. But worth trying
I’ll check it out thank you!
Alert! Also you passed up on Blue Note 9yr (where the Allocated Bottles), Blue Note Uncut Unfiltered Store Pick! I would urge you to pick up those bottles.
I had no clue! Darn.. i like blue note too
New Riff Malted Rye is an absolute banger of a bottle
Missing that store pick buffalo, Feelsbadman. Nice snag on that Sagamore
Thank you for watching! Im still salty about missing it! 🫠🥃
Pretty nice haul cheers sir
Thank you kindly 🥃
Whens your next video man!
@@Bourbon_Hunter I’m getting my new setup figured out switching to laptop and camera from my phone I think I’ve just about got it figured out
Four gate Barosa creek is amazing!
Four Doesnt Miss 🎯
Just got a Eagle Rare at the local Albertsons in So Cal for 40 bucks 😂 so glad the wife sent me out for Milk. the most random find of the last few months. Besides that the sagamore double oak is incredible.
That is awesome!
Sagamore double oak top tier 👍
Shoulda checked out wild Whiskey in Mandarin! That’s my spot - Store manager is awesome!
I’ll add it to the list!
Joseph Magnus Cigar Blend is incredible, popped my bottle open two nights ago! Definitely get it if you can get it for
I can get one for $190 tomorrow you think its worth it huh?
$25.99 for RR 10 is crazy. Much better than Buffalo Trace.
Damn im a florida native! Would love to go bourbon hunting next time your down here!
I need to do a subscriber episode!
@@Bourbon_Hunter hell yea bro on patreon too! Planning on doing a trip through georgia, sc, and Tennessee with my girl to do some bourbon hunting
I vouch for that Chattanooga cabernet finish. It's quite good. But your price is your price I get it.
Mixed reviews on the Chattanooga in the chat I appreciate you sharing!! 🥃
I just picked up a Store Pick 1792 Bib for $35 not far from there. It's delicious
I agree I have a store pic from Greenville South Carolina of 1792 single barrel store pick and it is incredible!
Sagamore was a great pick up.
Thank you! 🥃
I’m going to Naples Florida in a few weeks from now any good shops that have fair prices on bourbon
As a Floridian I’m about to head to JAX because can’t find these anywhere. 449 on the turkey is msrp I believe
Heck yeah!
I have never in my hunting life seen a Buffalo Trace Sgl. Barrel !!!
I still can’t believe I passed on it
The year on the Foursquare rum bottle is the year is was put in the barrel. It's aged 12 years. It's part of the Exceptional Cask Series.
That makes sense. Thank you for sharing!
Front the bottles the folks will appreciate it.
I ended up giving away all three of the bottles of buffalo trace I bought this trip to subscribers
New riff 6-yr malted rye is great
Im not sure if I like malted whiskies yet so I didn’t roll the dice quite yet! Thank you for watching!
Anyone have thoughts on the st Augustine? Might be going there in feb, just wondering if I should pick that up
Yes they are good, they have a bar at the distillery where you can try them, pick up the single barrel select best one IMO.
Buffalo Trace doubled their production 4 years ago, Sazarac, Weller SR, Buffalo Trace, and a few others are coming of age and stores can get all they want now. Secondary prices are falling like a stone because scalpers can't buy it all. All their products will be available everywhere in a few years as they come of age.
Thats amazing to hear! 🫡🥃
I've long felt that even before that the whole idea of scarcity was carefully encouraged by the industry. It's not hard to do. The allocated bourbon insanity will end badly for the distilleries IMHO. And obviously for the speculators and "investors" (hoarders). I don't begrudge any of them 😎
They had the 2023 angels envy cask strength at that first store. It’s a killer bottle
Ive never tried that before! It seems pricey. You say its worth it?
@@Bourbon_Hunterit’s one of my top three for this year, I’m gonna post a review on the discord next time I drink it.
The New England barrell’s are not that bad. A little over priced. This coming from a Massachusetts boy. lol. Keep up the good work!!!!
Good to know! Thank you for watching! 🥃
New Riff is my wife's new favorite. She likes spicy ryes.
Good to know! Next time I see one, I will grab it 🥃
I was about to comment about you leaving the sagamore 8 year again 😂, glad you ended up seeing it this time
It almost got past me again! 🤙🏼
Have you ever reviewed high wire distilling co products, or any other local brands?
Yes! I have done a few on the patreon!
man this video really brings to light how pricey all bourbon has become local distillery stuff and new company stuff should not be on the shelf for 60+$
My store has a display of cigar blend Joesph magnus. About 10 cases just sitting.
For how much and what state you in?
Hey man you ever want to hunt in Knoxville TN, I’d be happy to be you guide.
You should have gotten that Blue Note store pick. Never see them around me
Theres a ton of stuff I should have got! I missed so many good bottles. I guess I gotta go back 😂 Thanks for watching!
@@Bourbon_Hunter that’s store pick BT too lol. I just joined the discord
You should have stopped at Wild Whiskey in Mandarin on the east side of the river.
I drove into that town blind and just asked around to find little spots for whiskey
Damn good store! It used to not be as decked out when it first opened. Its now my top 2 stores I hit up
Great spot. 1 of 3 in the area, Highly recommended.
Drive in a town use google map type in liquor stores near by
Traveller Whiskey don't pay more than $40 I got one $36 it's ok it's just a easy sipper ....very easy sipper
i need to goto florida lol
That widow jane anniversary is delicious. Came out in 2022 I think
I am still upset that I passed on that $100 is a lot to pay for a 100 proof whiskey however, I love widow Jane just tough sometimes doing these videos!
Should’ve gotten a Michter’s’s bundle. Doubt you’ll ever taste a better rye than the michters 10.
You should definitely try Irish whiskey, and start with the red breast
I have one already! Got it a few videos ago so I agree its amazing!
Awesome
