Another important thing to remember. I work at a liquor store and am a bourbon enthusiast. Make sure you’re speaking to an owner or a manager if you’re trying to barter for a better deal because for people like me. I have no power to change or agree on a different price no matter what like I don’t have the access to change it so I feel bad every time someone is trying so hard with me and says all of the things that usually work to get better deals. Theres just nothing I can do unfortunately. Cheers
Congrats on the Stagg finds! Some of my rules below: 1. Walk into stores, don’t call them 2. Pop into stores you like regularly 3. Be friendly, talk to owners/managers, but don’t be annoying 4. If you buy regularly, they will eventually take care of you here & there (smaller stores, not grocery stores) 5. Know when releases are dropping 6. It takes time & persistence to find good things, years sometimes 7. Don’t ask for Blanton’s 8. Enter your local lotteries
I was planning to do a July haul video, after this next hunt video comes out. I’d show my entire collection, but it’s pretty modest; only have about 130 bottles or so. If y’all wanna see it, I’ll do it, though. Cheers, Drew 🥃🥃🥃🙌🏼💪🏼
@@Birds-EyeBourbon I personally would love it. 130 sounds like a lot I only have like 20 and just started about 5 months ago. Stumbled upon your vids and really enjoy them! Great snag on that Stagg!
@@Made-In-Texas you have superb taste!!! Both of those are on my short list. Stay tuned! I will get them before xmas!!! This lifestyle is expensive, man 😅
I live in Tracy but have fam in the Bay. I’ve only been to a few spots, bc I just started the channel. Stay tuned; we’ll be doing more hunts all over Northern Cali. Ledger’s, in Berkeley, will probably be next. Cheers 💪🏼🥃🙌🏼
lol bro just wanna know how long how u been collecting for , not drinking just collecting tho funny but I get it. I gotta go to privately own liquor stores
Your mileage may vary, but I wish you all great hunting success!! Cheers 🥃🦉

Great point! Know who you’re talking to. I always ask if the owner is present, before I try to negotiate. Thanks for the insider POV! 💯💯🥃🥃💪🏼💪🏼

@@geland1 #7 🤣🤣🤣. What noob asks for the little horse topper.
@@Liquid_spirits88 it happens, I’ve witnessed it
I’ve witnessed it at a few places. Blanton’s comes to you; you don’t go to it
That’s a great list! The relationship game is tested and proven, and probably the best method, honestly.
@@Birds-EyeBourbon haha, that sounds like it should be on a t-shirt
I picked up the other one several days ago. It’s good. It’s my first Elijah Craig BP. Figured it’s hard to turn down a 2021 for MSRP.
If you can find any ECBP from 2021, and older, buy it!! Nice pickup!! 💪🏼✔️🥃💯
Been watching for a while. I'm new to bourbon and whiskey. Thanks for the great vids and good energy!
Welcome Jesse! I like to cut-up a little bit LOL. Thanks for the support!💪🏼🥃🤘🏼✌🏼
Great buy. 👏 Sharing samples help too. They cant open everything that comes in. 😉
GREAT POINT!!! Thanks, brother!! ✌🏼💪🏼
STAGG JR - 24A - 2024
Finally released.
I'm going for it.
Good luck brother!!! Rooting for you
That Wiseman bourbon is from Kentucky Owl, great price for the Stagg 😉👍🥃 Cheers
is the Wiseman any good? Looked really light, actually 😳
No@@Birds-EyeBourbon
@Birds-EyeBourbon-or9fy not bad for 90.8 proof, price is fair. Something different. Tasty😋
@@thomasanderson2870 not something you see everywhere; that’s for sure. Thank you, brother ✌🏼
Great Video. Mike putting out great content. Thanks for doing your thing.
I'm gonna be me, brother. I wish everyone big success and hope y'all feel the same for me 😉. Cheers, and thanks for the comment!!!! 🥃✌🏼
💪🏼💪🏼🔥🔥
Sup Juan!🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
When do we get a collection video?

Okay. I’ll do the July haul video, then queue up the collection piece. Cheers, and thanks for the support!💪🏼👊🏼🥃💯🦉
Great vid. People skills is the #1
without em, you end up miserable and bitter, my dude. Like anything else, it's a learned skill.
Another great video 🙌🏼
THERE HE IS!! What's up, killer!!!!! That sample haul was exquisite 😍
@@Birds-EyeBourbon it definitely was! If you ever want any samples whether it’s bourbon or cigars, let me know brother.
@@frankrivera1666 absolutely!! let's connect, bro!! I'll HYU. Stay safe, man
We just had a Weller 12 drop here in Chicago. Jewel was 44 and Binny's is 55.
breaking my heart, big dawg. I have a 2022 W12 release, and that sh!t is half gone 😢. How many did you grab?
@@Birds-EyeBourbon it's limit 1, so I have a back up. Half way done with my 2023
@@kendalewright1419 happy for you, brother! Good bourbon shouldn’t be priced the way the current market is 👎🏼
Early morning vid and coffee, Life is Good 🔥🔥🔥
🙌🏼🙌🏼 Thanks for the support 🥃🥃🦉🦉
Come on, nice score brother 😎
Exciting to me! Cheers, bro 🥃🥃
@@Birds-EyeBourbon you deserve it, makes the hunt worth it when you receive something like that. My goal is a George T Stagg and Rock Hill Farms.
@@Made-In-Texas you have superb taste!!! Both of those are on my short list. Stay tuned! I will get them before xmas!!! This lifestyle is expensive, man 😅
@@Birds-EyeBourbon anytime you post I’m tuned in my man, all love cuz. I’ll be watching you open my dream bottles 😎
@@Made-In-Texas I’m cracking a GTS this year, on this channel 💯
i saw Stagg pop up at total wine and more on monday im sure the staff kept it for themselves
San Mateo Location*
@@maxb0ost TW had a major drop a few weeks ago. I put up a short about it. I missed out on a Stagg and some Weller stuff 😩
Where in the Bay are you? I am in East Bay WC and curious what you think of the shops here.
I live in Tracy but have fam in the Bay. I’ve only been to a few spots, bc I just started the channel. Stay tuned; we’ll be doing more hunts all over Northern Cali. Ledger’s, in Berkeley, will probably be next. Cheers 💪🏼🥃🙌🏼
@@Birds-EyeBourbon If you want some spotss in the diablo valley let me know.
Fire away, bro. I’ll add them to my list!
lol bro just wanna know how long how u been collecting for , not drinking just collecting tho funny but I get it. I gotta go to privately own liquor stores
couple years... Best bet is either online-I use wine-searcher.com-or getting in good with a store owner. YMMV
I have never seen a stagg in my area
Where you located?
@@Birds-EyeBourbonMaryland
@@RVA3215 damn! It’s like THAT out there? Yikes
You’re “negotiating” over $30?
Seriously?
Playa!!!!!
Oh no!!! It's a $250 bottle there, like the other two Staggs in the video. I'll let you draw your own conclusion, big dawg 😎🥃. God bless, brutha!!!
camera in one hand.... 🤣🤣
