Statesboro Georgia was a dry country for many years. That changed in April of 2022. The first liquor store that was granted a license was Clarke Beverage. Bradley Clark is a long time industry pro who has navigated the red tape and opened a large liquor store downtown Statesboro. County Line Liquor was the only shop in the are for YEARS because it was right outside Statesboro county and able to pull the local population for years. Within 2 years they have granted more liquor licenses to store owners and the market has now become extremely competitive. I think you will be surprised at the amount of Bourbon this small town in the middle of no where GA has.

I saw Weller special reserve today for 50 dollars about 75 miles from Statesboro. I use to live in Statesboro when liquor sales didn't exist. I had to go to the county line
I got that heaven hill 18 year for 179.99. It was just sittings on the shelf. Got to love those random finds.
Dude no freaking way!
Yea, we have a few shops in our area that just put stuff out on the shelf. You got to get lucky. Nobody puts taters out on the shelf at those crazy prices either. They are usually held for allocated drops a few times a year and sell for around MSRP.
Just got a big father's day drop at a few places here in Tulsa, OK.
False.
Great video! Awesome snag on the EH Taylor Bottled in Bond!! Cheers and keep the great content coming.
Thanks! Will do!
600 for Blanton's Gold is criminal. Secondary is more than half of that
I still don’t have a Blanton’s gold 🥺
I went to school at Georgia Southern years ago. Bulloch County (Statesboro) was a dry county. We drove to the County Line Package to buy our liquor. Statesboro is a great town!
I agree! Great folks! 🥃
another great video, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching Greg! 🥃🤙🏼
That cask strength maker’s 46 is incredible. You should buy every bottle they have
I have 2 already! I will always keep those on the shelf
When I saw Weller SR for 80$ I almost spit out my drink
😂😂 What were you drinking?
@@Bourbon_Hunter Cypress cove 5yr highly recommend
Typical price in our area is 60-100. Found a bottle today for $35 🥹
WB is one of my favorite stores. They're museum is a little whacky but they take care of their regulars. All great stores.
The tin cup 10 is quite tasty. Been close several times to try the 14. It’s not a bad price for a 14 yr whiskey tbh.
The Hemingway Rye is a very good pour, I will be replacing the bottle I have soon. I can’t wait till I am in Ga. to hunt. Great video, nice pick ups. 🥃😎🇺🇸
Yes very good!
Being from GA and seeing that price for that EH TAYLOR was kinda shocking honestly! Congrats on the haul! Keep the content coming.
Thanks! Will do! The price surprised me too!
Awesome video! Enjoyed as always
MrBev! Thank you for watching as always! Cheers! 🤙🏼🥃 Hope you’re having a great weekend!
Some real good stores, Ill keep that in mind the next time I am down that way!
Thank you for watching! 🥃
Laws is crafty but good. I’ve had a couple offerings with a 7 year wheated BIB being my favorite. It was a wildflower honey BOMB.
We just had a Buffalo Trace ghost drop in nh at the state stores . Grabbed 3 small batch at $50 each and 2 Blantons at $70. Also won a Handy in their lottery for $125 and got two Buffalo Trace and two Wellers Special Reserve store picks for $35 each recently.
Heck yeah!! Sometimes those ghost drops are just being in the right place at the right time!
@@Bourbon_Hunter definitely. They’ve done two this year and I was an hour late for the Stagg both times. Thankfully I work 2nd shift so I’m home when they announce them.
Good prices on the Old Fitz! Paid $325 recently for an OF8
That Penelope tokaji finish rye is pretty darn good just got a bottle a few weeks back
I’d love to go bourbon hunting in Georgia. Great locations!
GA is like the wild west its so fun!
Nice Stores in Georgia , Really liked those allocated bottles in the Cigar room but man the prices .... Thanks
Thanks for watching! 🥃
The Laws distillery is in Denver. Pretty good IMO
Love the content, subscribed! Unfortunately NC is controlled so I gotta get lucky
So unfortunate the price on that EW SB. I just snagged one in Nashville for $40 with tax.
I don’t even bother to buy from stores like whiskey business that have stupid prices
I needed an Eagle rare to refill my 1.75L and the ladies were really nice!
But that Eagle Rare was a good price..... proves hunting works as the rest were stupid prices...
That was a great video! Tons of great bottles, sad they are marked too high to go home with you, but you snagged some great ones! Curious about that Baby Jane…. Please do tell!
I have picked up a couple of the Laws and if you like a fig note in your whiskey then you will enjoy it. It’s a pretty solid bourbon. However I have not tried the San Luis Valley Ryes, but when I get the chance I’ll probably grab one. Those prices are in line with what I’ve seen it for.
The baby jane for the price is GREAT! Take into account im a huge widow jane fan too
1:17 they are selling for 35$ in MA
The 5 trail barrel proof is reallly good!!!
I need to try a pour at the bar!
those old fitz look good...talk about packaging
Freeland is a great little all female distillery. They are more known for their gin, but in the past year released their 1st rye from their own distillate. Good flavor, but overpriced because they are small and new. If you're ever in portland, it's a good place to visit.
Well there we go! I figured you’d know about it!
Carl-bot coming in clutch with the new video notification
Carl Bot is doing well the past couple of weeks! 😂
Evan Williams let some of the Single Barrel slip out of KY. Supposed to be KY only now. Grab that one.
I got one in SC! They got a few cases in the south east that slipped away!
I was able to grab old fitz 8 year at $114 which included sin tax.
Sometimes gotta be lucky with raffles. Basically bought a decanter 😂
So the juice inside wasnt all its cracked up for?
I got one last fall for 125 bucks, I was pretty disappointed when I cracked it, has a funk to it that was interesting but in all honesty, larceny BP is much tastier.
@@Bourbon_Hunter I have not even cracked it open. I have so much bourbon unfortunately I need to run through it. Maybe trade it away since I don't like sitting in allocated lines?
Also, big big fan of the tin cup 10 year. Would love to get the 14 year. Very jealous.
I kinda regret not grabbing it actually
If you're ever around Thomasville GA, stop in at 1861 Distillery. Great drinks, food, and atmosphere. Their bourbon is a little young for my taste, but the Sorghum Whiskey is always a good bottle.
I’ll check it out if I am ever in town!
I drive by that place no telling how many times never noticed I guess this might have to stop by
Hemingway is a sleeper, too. Those old Fitz prices are damn good compared to my area. Van Winkles are always underwhelming easy sippers. Not bad, just overhyped.
Couldnt have said it better buddy!
Just got back from grocery store (we don’t have the good large selection ones just basic) and Buffalo Trace on shelf for $27.
Eagle is 37 here.
Stagg is 55 I think it just went up from $50
That Old Fitz 10 yr is $134 Bought the Old Fitz 19 for $240ish
Used to love the WT Master’s Keep series. Now the price is much to high for what you get.
Old Fitz 10 yr for $134 would make me do a backflip
Just got jack 10 in nj 179
That Jack Daniels 10 slaps
Give the Redemption Wheated a try next time you see it. Great $40 bottle!
I would have grabbed that Eagle Rare as well... Good Price !! And with the Blanton's tops they give them away at the distillery in KY.
No way! PJ! Did you see the end screen with your Patreon name?
@@Bourbon_Hunter Yes I did thanks, I appreciate the ( Down Under ) bonus ;)
What was the maker's mark stave profile?
You love 1792 so much, I was wondering if you tried the Costco Kirkland brand bourbons? They are made by Barton’s 1792 and their same juice for half price for a liter bottle. They have single barrel, bottle and bond, small batch and full proof. They are released about twice a year at costco I believe.
I don’t have a Costco card so unless I find some friends that got it I wont be able to try it!
If you gonna be the bourbon hunter, you gonna need to get a Cosco card. I hear people talking about great deals in there ALL the time! Really enjoying your content! Onward👍
Both of those old fitz would’ve been coming home with me! I don’t mind paying over MSRP for those
More power to ya! They don’t come around very often
Have you tasted Bluegrass Distillery Toasted Oak? It's one of the best toasted expressions i had. You can find it in northern Georgia.
I have not! Ive never even heard of Blue Grass. Ima check them out!
Please let us know how that baby jane is, I have been curious about it, also that tincup 14 is a great easy summer sipper for that price. Usually sold at like 100 or more
I like it! Great for $45!
I try to stop by Clarkes II when i can. I live 10 mins from the one in Newington. Unfortunately he doesn't keep anything allocated in that store. Bit Bradley has "hooked" me up once or twice. Whiskey business is ok, I'm local to those guys and have spent some money in there but never got "loyalty deal".
I hear ya, thank you for watching I wish you luck hunting in the future!
There's two N's so hope you got the right one
Just the plain ole N
$139 is a STEAL for that Blood Oath Pact #10
Ive sadly never been a fan of Blood Oath they just don’t have enough Proof. However I havent had Pact 10 yet so who knows!
The pricing at that first store is disgusting. I'd never go back and tell everyone I know not to go there. Bourbon is for sharing and enjoying, not gouging people. Makes me sick to see so many good bottles sit on a shelf that will probably be there for a long, long time.
I just scored the 15Yr Old Fitz at the BCL Liquor release in BC Canada for $300 CAD, and thats MSRP here.
Edit: Also the Weller Single Barrell/Full proof for $80 CAD and 12 Yr for $99. Old Forester 1924 for $102 and JD Twice Barrelled Heritage Rye for I think $96.
Goodness! I need to head up north!
@@Bourbon_Hunter They only drop twice a year and you gotta be in line pretty early. Its first come first serve here still. BTAC's and Pappy are lottery.
You about drop that bottle on the spin around lol too fancy of a bottle
I always bottle flip 😎🤙🏼
The PGA EC is standard small batch, however, supposedly the juice was pulled from a different rickhouse or a different part of the rickhouse where they pull their standard stuff from (not 100% which or perhaps it’s both). Several different reviewers have said it is better than the standard offering.
But I saw the PGA on shelves in GA for $35-40 if I remember correctly
Part of me wants to think its a special blended small batch but do you really think Heaven Hill cares that much? 🧐
@@Gehly right, I don’t think there was a markup on it. At least not initially.
@@Bourbon_Hunter I wrote a more lengthy response but it didn’t post. In short, they definitely made an effort to pick from Rickhouses P, 1G, and A. Did they make an exceptional bottle on accident, most likely, yes.
@@Bourbon_Hunter I think its from rickhouses p, 1g and a if I read correctly. So it is a special blend per say
That PGH bottle has a different cork top but nothing else different about it other than sticker. For golf fans only I guess.
Yeah people who play golf am I right
I like 1792 about as much as you like Penelope 😅😂. Passssss. Some museum prices on a few of those bottles at the first store. The Short Barrels are awesome.
We agree to disagree Joe! 😂🥃
I knew you'd probably say that 😆
Damn i wish i could find bombergers on a shelf
I wish I could find a Shenk’s on the shelf at retail
No wonder all the good bottles are sitting there. Those prices are insane. The Pappy purchaser got ripped off. "Old Rip"
@bourbonhunter come to Canada. I have Blantons Gold, we can do a trade lol
Eagle Rare will be allocated in Georgia in 2025 so get it while you can. My friend works for Sazerac and told me about how they run test markets.
Seriously? They have cases on cases on cases over there
@@Bourbon_Hunteryep. Just a test market until 2025. Unfortunately it’ll be harder to find in our area next year.
Man I know $80 for EH Taylor small batch is pretty fair considering secondary prices are insane but I would’ve sent you one for a trade if something I can’t get in California. When I see them I grab them and usually around $55.
California is bourbon hunting on easy mode it seems 😂
Its good😮
lol that first store had some weird pricing! Some good, some not good and some BIZARRE.
Kinda all over the place but that M10 rye for $250 aint tooooo bad
Goodnight tastes like bread dough and brown sugar
Will be in Charleston tomorrow... What stores would you recommend?
Coosaw Liquor and Wine, Creekville spirits (great store picks) Seven Star on Folly Road, Palmetto Spirits, Burris Liquor Downtown sometimes
Those prices are insane at the first place, Eagle Rare literally the only price that was ok
Some were good and some were bad
Pappy’s have laser coding on them. You then need to decipher to find the yr it was ‘born’.
That seems like a lot of work 😂
There's really no decoding. The first two numbers are the year. ex. L23xxxxxx = 2023
I do believe there only 6 liquor stores in statesboro
There are very very few
@@Bourbon_Hunter there are not old stores statesboro recent allowed them
There were 0 stores in Statesboro a couple years ago.
Another Portland whiskey that looks really good is Burnside. Know nothing about it other then the state it’s from and what the bottle says about its characteristics
I need to start looking at more West Coast whiskey!
I know it's the military base price for me, but that Elijah's PGA bottle is the same price as normal Elijah 31$ flat just don't know if the juice is any different id assume we would've heard about it by now if it was.
Yeah it seems to be more of a collectors thing than anything
@@Bourbon_HunterThe whiskey for the release was pulled from rickhouses P, G, &A.Heard it's good for MSRP but not exceptional. Has that fancy medallion in the stopper too!
Great video, which N? There's N and N:.
Just the regular N
Dude, stop blowing my spots up... 🤣🤣🤣
😅 oh for real?
@@Bourbon_Hunter Let me know if you come back down my way. I'm surprised I didn't run into you.
Is tin cups niche making lower proof products? Never tried tin cup but see them always at a low proof.
Always at lowproof must be their thing! I’d love to try the cask strenght
They should always let you film. Free advertising is always good unless they are ashamed of their prices 😅
🤷🏻♂️🤔
That Clarkes place had some great prices and a great selection.
Now… still don’t understand your disdain for Penelope but you love widow Jane products?
Widow jane is a Blend of NY and KY whiskey since they got bought out by Heaven Hill. I really like HH products so
@@Bourbon_Hunter I did a quick google search to recheck my aging, bourbon fogged memory and unless they started recently… I confirmed they source their bourbon from MGP (maybe prior to HH buyout) and then cut it with their limestone water. Hey, if you like it, that’s all that matters! I like several MGP products.
Have you tried the Penelope 9 year?
With no shame I’m getting that Fitz for 250
Haha! Hey man more power to ya!
Got the old Fritz 8 for 130 and jd 10 for 90 people sleep on the grocery store finds
Goodness! Im Jealous about that
A local restaurant gave me a sample of the Charles Goodnight. I recommend not even tasting it. It tastes like lighter fluid and was the worst bourbon I've ever tried.
Thank goodness I didnt fall for the fancy looking bottle
Tincup 14, no... Knob 9 single barrel reserve, Yes
KC 9 I just picked up is amazing!
I would have grabbed that old fitz.
Double MSRP tho? Im sure I can find one for a good price at some point
@Bourbon_Hunter I feel ya. I don't think I will ever see one up here in the PNW, so that influences things. It's funny tho because finding Eagle Rare is commonly found at grocery stores for msrp.
Clarkes was legit!
Heck yeah they were!
Five trail is owned by the coors beer company i believe..I noticed old granddad 114 for $45??? Wow that's a horrible price
😂😂
found that single barrel evan williams for 29 bucks
Yeah its normally a cheap banger!
@@Bourbon_Hunter got lucky today with a frey ranch single barrel, barrel strenght, its good
Don’t get into scotch, every bottle is packaged like that tincup 14
I know I love my Arran 10 tubes
Laws is ok , nothing earth moving. A decent craft whiskey. Surprisingly in a blind everyone’s least liked by far was the cask strength. Kinda makes sense since it is the youngest whiskey (not worth getting).
The EC PGA is just a sticker exact same whiskey.
I hate to hear the laws is okay. Did you try the 8 year bottled in bond? Is that any good?
@@Bourbon_Hunter no it was out of stock when we picked up a few bottles. We blinded a Rye Barrel Select, Four Grain Bourbon Bonded & Four Grain Bourbon Cask Strength. We all love rye and the unanimous winner was the Bonded with the Rye a close second. If the cask strength had more age it would have been very good but instead was extremely youthful and not worth spending money on
How are these guy’s charging almost double for blantons gold to rock hill farms
Blantons golf has eluded me for a full yeah now
PGA is a different small batch.
Really?? I can’t believe they did that
@Bourbon_Hunter yeah it's kind cool. They pull from rickhouse P, G, AND 1A. PGA.
10 year and 14 year tincup are winners
The Tin 10 cup sample I had didn’t blow me away last time which makes me more hesitant on the 14
@@Bourbon_Hunter I can understand that
I get Eagle Rare for $33, Blantons for $66
Congratulations
Where ya from?
Must be nice!
Goose Creek, SC
Same. Indianapolis is super cheap too
When in doubt, stop being poor and buy the bottle. You’ll regret it later.
I bought like $300 worth of bottles that day 😭
@@Bourbon_Hunter RIP
Old fitz 10 for 300 is not bad at all. Probably could have offered 250 cash . A michters 10 year bourbon for 300 is a buy . I think old fitz 10 at 300 would be max I'd pay . Stagg for 200 isn't bad if it's a stagg jr .
Don't feed the monster paying secondary
The only one that made me consider was the 10 Year Mitcher Rye at $250 maybe $200 cash woulda been the move
@@Bourbon_Hunter I agree, that wasn't terrible considering MSRP
A random 6 year old mm pick better than pappy 15 lol
Maybe switch to tequila hunting
Thats just what I liked better that day man 🤷🏻♂️ The pappy 15 was a little thin but I was also drinking both out of plastic cups so who knows
Hemming way rye is my new favorite rye. Grab one.
I’ll check them out then! A few people have recommended it! 🥃
