That store abusing the point system is really really bad. So I gotta spend hundreds of dollars, to buy a $40 bottle of ETL for $150? What a joke. Might as well pay full secondary for a bottle at that point
I’ve been watching your channel and I just subscribed. EHT small batch is my fav whiskey. I live in Central Illinois and I’ve never seen an EHT SIB on the shelf. $150 would’ve been tempting for me.
Yes, you can grab two L B524s for the price of one Bardstown. Tastes great, too! I grabbed the EWSB at Atlas, much more palatable price and value than the pick shelf.
I paid $135 on Colorado for a Sam Houston 15, but that was over 2 years ago.... Best bottle I've personally ever bought. I'd pay $150 if I saw it again.
Good video Patrick! I would’ve gotten the Sam Houston, mainly because I love my calumet 16. Might have to buy the 15 here soon honestly. Can’t find the Sam Houston here though. I also would’ve gotten the EHT SiB. I can’t seem to find them in the wild and I drink infrequently enough where that bottle would last me a couple years. Hell I still have 1/3 of my very first Eagle rare I got 2 years ago! Also I have overspent on bottles before, shame on me I know. I found a bottle of ORVW 10 for $500 and I pulled the trigger on it. But hey, that bottles what I’m looking forward to once I graduate! Just gotta make it that far first. Cheers Patrick
Although I really wanted the Sam Houston I did spend a lot on whiskey these last couple of months. I just couldn’t squeeze it through my budget. Maybe next time.
Hopefully they drop the price on that Midwinter so you can grab a bottle for future reference. Meaning, when your home blend is ready for a direct comparison. I’m looking forward to seeing how that plays out! 👍
The price for that Russells 15 would be my limit. I tried twice to get that bottle from the drop onl8ne from Russells and was unsuccessful. I at least got to try it in Bardstown at Evergreen Liquors. It is an excellent pour.
What stores did you hunt at? I like the Larceny BP from Costco. Disco 10 is a less desirable release, so it is probably why it is priced so low. Disco 12 should hit our market soon.
Stores with point systems by me closed down. They weren’t making money. The pricing though wasn’t that bad. ER was attainable at $50. Good thing Booker’s was passed up on. $110+ is not worth it.
Wasn’t that store crazy Dean. The actual cheek to charge double MSRP secondary and still have to use points which you got for spending 1000 bucks is crazy.
@@TheWhiskeyCove Full disclosure,novice here and this was a neck pour. But I get slightly nutty ,sweet, and all the normal vanilla and caramel .The flavors change from sip to sip and it gets less sweet maybe.A really nice aged oak that I only get from the good ones. Mouth feel sets it apart,very coating and the finish is very long. Extremely balanced and drinkable pour. I will be interested to find out how wrong I am with this and maybe learn something.
That is sketchy on the “store pick” BT… However, I’m pretty sure I bought a fake store pick before in KY. Sticker was cheap looking and didn’t have the store name on it. Oh well. Great video!
Van winkle isn’t worth 1000 on its best day. Most of these stores seem to want to be museums. I know if I walked in and saw these prices I wouldn’t buy anything and never return. I would have got to of the Bardstown that was a pretty good price.

Big liquor store on high way 7 Thornton. Just in case you are ever around the area. ;)
Love the format. Please continue to bring more.
Thanks dude. I always appreciate the support.

I appreciate the support Michael. Thanks for watching. I thought $150 was a bit much but I totally get it if you never see it.

Interesting stuff. I think a lot of stuff is high along with the rest of everything. We definitely need to shop wisely. 🥃
Truths.
I really enjoy the split stage by kelvin. The mizunara is a good bottle too. 200$ but it's a good nice pour bottle
Thanks for the feedback. I haven’t seen much of their offerings. I plan to taste some when I’m out in Kentucky and go from there.

Thanks for the heads up. If money looks good I’m going to have to swing by and pick this damn thing up.
Should've snagged that Few bottled in bond. Was surprised how good it was

I have to get a bottle. I have 6,7,8,9,10,11 and My Home blend getting ready.
B523 larceny was a definite buy
I’m fortunate that they always have releases of the larceny at Costcos and for a great price too

I also tried so many times. That drop online was a big mess up. That being said I scored a 13 last year.
I would also pick up that Sam Houston barton goodness right there brother.
I was able to try this while I was in Kentucky. It was a great pour.
For me it would have to be the Sam Houston. Great video Patrick. Thankyou 🥃
Don't say that. I think about not picking it up so regularly.

Mostly Lafayette, broomfield and Louisville in Colorado for this video.

I'd wait to try bookers. They have a new anual select version i think its called, coming out this month that has older stuff in it
Thanks for the information, buddy
Run don't walk for that Fortaleza anejo
Haha I’m not dropping $159 on tequila lol
Opened a disco 10 tonight,go back and get that asap 😂
You liked it huh? What’s the flavor profile.

Yeah I can see that. I was just like nah.
i was gonna yell at you for not picking up the russells15. But i dont blame you for passing up that pay to win loyalty thing.
@@MrDrooshKa I think I would have had to have spent $2,000 to be able to get it. Trust me I asked.
I think the Bardston Disco and the Sam Houston 15 are the only misses.
I’m kinda regretting the Sam Houston but I’ve Dino much money lately.
Van winkle isn’t worth 1000 on its best day. Most of these stores seem to want to be museums. I know if I walked in and saw these prices I wouldn’t buy anything and never return. I would have got to of the Bardstown that was a pretty good price.
Very good price. Those discos go for around $150. You can always count on Costco for pricing.
All the EH SiB in my area, Northern Illinois, are $299+. So, ill gladly pay $150 for one.
That sucks. I thought $150 was way too much.
@@TheWhiskeyCove it is. I think msrp is around $80.
I have a Blantons store pick that doesn't have the sticker but it does have a neck tag...real cheap...that has that generic store pick symbol.
@@RM-ub4sl the blantons can sometimes have them on the boxes instead. Did yours come with a box?
Four Gate Kelvin 60 is so good
Was it worth that price?
Disco 10 is not worth it Wait for 11 or 12 those are well worth full price
I’ve heard the 12 is very good.
@@TheWhiskeyCove personally 11 blinded better but it depends on the person.
A few liquor stores in michigan pull that single barrel store pick scam with BT also, $8-10 more and No Sticker on the bottle 😑 🫣🤔
It’s so scammy. You can tell what they are about with that point system.
