Any Great Chicago Area (Binnys) store picks?

[ramblinman]

Heading to Chicago next week and using it as our home base for a day trip to South Bend to see GT take on ND.

I'm planning to finally make a trip to one or two of the Binnys close to the loop. Not looking for anything special, but I'm always happy to bring a few bottles of any particularly good picks back home with me.

Had anyone in the area had a particularly good store pick at Binnys or anywhere else that you'd recommend picking up?

Cheers

They're probably long gone by now, but Binny's had a nice OWA private selection earlier this year. Would certainly be worth asking about

The few Binnys I have been to always have store picks of 4 Roses, KCSB, RRSB, WT Kentucky Spirit. Sometimes they have ER and other cheaper single barrel picks, but, those seem to fly off the shelf.

Don't know if it's good , or awful (like their standard release), but several Binny's are showing Garrison Brothers Cowboy Bourbon available.

Call the Whiskey Hotline. The guy who often answers seems to be a knowledgeable

I had actually thought of asking my local Binny's a few weeks ago if they had any store select bottles. it might not be a bad idea to call the hotline and ask just that and see which he recommends!

Oh I'll be stopping by anyway, our hotel is about halfway between the one north and southwest of the loop. At the very least it looks like I'll be able to pickup some of the new Pikesville Rye that hasn't made its way down to my place yet. Just never know when a store has got their hands on a great honey-barrel thats worth grabbing a few.
