Tony Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Good Day All-I hope you are doing great.Heading to Kentucky next week and am curious what I can find in Kentucky that I cannot find in Michigan? Does anyone have a list?I know of some like Four Roses gift shop bottles, Willett, not sure about others. I am guessing maybe some BiB?Would appreciate any help.Best regards, Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amg Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 HH BiB 6-year (white label)Larceny? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Not as much as there used to be, but still some. HH White Label BiB, HH Green Label, VOB BiB, Larceny, Willet and other KBD brands, Old Fitz BiB, Weller 12, Medley Bros., can't think of any others off the top of my head besides the random HH brands: JTS Brown, TW Samuels, Dant, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BootsOnTheGround Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 AAA 10 yr if you can find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I too am a big fan of the HH green label. One of my favorite summertime pours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighHorse Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Tony, I just returned and only picked up a couple of bottles. Some FR from the gift shop Cox's Creek & at the distillery, some Liquor barn private picks and a Town Branch 100proof Rye I want to try. Otherwise there were dozens of labels I am not familiar with at prices that made me pass.Happy hunting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Almost forgot, if you're an Old Forester fan, try and find a bottle of the single barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 VSOF is pretty findable here as well if interested. You may just want to go with the Larceny, though I do like the 12 profile a little better. I do recommend the Town Branch Rye. Like Fox, doubt you'll see a W12 or AAA10yr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulO Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Tony, you could look what's listed on the Liquor Barn web site. That doesn't mean it will all be in stock when you get there, but gives an idea. I say get Larceny and whatever bonds MI doesn't have, Medley Bros. too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

393foureyedfox Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Thanks everyone for the help. Think I will go with - HH White Label BiB, HH Green LabelBest regards, Tonythen chuckle to yourself as you walk out with one of each for a total of $20.....then go back and get a few more sets!many of the larger stores here in KY will give you a case discount, and Id take advantage of that if these things werent available back home. Im sure youve got some buddies who may even split a case with you.there was one store here in Louisville that had one 1.75 of AAA 10 year a while back that'd been there forever. Ill try to stop in tomorrow and see it its still there. If so, I may grab it for you, if youre coming into Louisville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulO Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Yeah, I believe 6 bottles (don't have to be all the same) gets you the discount at LB. Do you think I could go to KY and not get 6 bottles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nd2005 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I picked up Larceny, a store pick SAOS rye barrel proof (I know we can get the SAOS in MI but I've never seen the barrel strength), Willett rye, and the stuff I got at the gift shops.The other stuff I picked up was stuff that is available in MI, but substantially cheaper (>$10 per bottle) in KY. Stuff like 4RSB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbroo5880i Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Tony, I know you have been to KY so outside of the obvious stuff like Gift Shop selections and the offerings you can't get in KY, I would suggest you might consider some retailer selections. Since I am not identifying honey holes, I believe it is ok to post here. I believe TPS and Liquor Barn in St. Matthews have awesome retailer selections.

393foureyedfox Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 is michigan a control state, or just a poor selection? Im heading there this week, and wondering if I should bring something along, or get something when I get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OscarV Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 is michigan a control state, or just a poor selection? Im heading there this week, and wondering if I should bring something along, or get something when I get there.MI isn't a control state and we do have a large selection but we don't get special releases and if we do just a few go to certain areas.No Weller 12 or HH labels either, we are missing some odds and ends.Depending on where you go you might find a store with a good selection or not, the store just down the road from me doesn't carry WT.

Special Reserve Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 MI is a control state. Stores must order through liquor control board. There is a minimum price but not a maximum price. Our selection is not bad but not that of KY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
