Driving from Nashville to Fort Wayne in early October

[DeluxeReverb]

Passing through Bowling Green, Elizabethtown, Louisville, Seymour, Indianapolis, Muncie.

Got any recommendations/suggestions/prognostications on where I might happen upon any Elmer T. Lee? Weller 12?

Favorite stores?

Just stop at liquor barn in BG and buy as much HHBiB 6yr as you can carry

Ha! I'll definitely grab a stash. Bought the last two pints of it in my area, still have one left.

I have not seen W12 or ETL anywhere in a long time. When the commemoritive came out, I was told a store in Bloomington got a couple. I don't think those even touched the shelf. No worries, there is plenty of other good bourbon out there.

The Louisville Costco has excellent prices on readily available bourbons; i.e., don't expect LEs, HH BIBs, or store picks. Liquor Barn has a better overall selection. ETL is hard to find anywhere. The last ETL and W12 I scored were at the LB in Lexington but that was almost a year ago right after the fall release. You might try the Liquor Barn website for phone number and call ahead.

Last week there were two stores in Bardstown with ETL on the shelf. One was Keystone and I don't remember the other but it's just up the road behind a fast food restaurant of some type. Google it. They had a dozen or so both on the shelf and behind the counter. $36.99 was the price at Keystone the others weren't marked that I saw but I'm sure we're the same or higher.

UPDATE: Found a Stagg Jr. in Fort Wayne, missed out on some ETL when the store took their 34 bottles to a tasting tonight and sold them all before I could get there. $33.99.

Leaving for Nashville tomorrow, going to take my time and hit as many stores as I can.

[GTD]

Let us know what you score.

Good luck!

Trip spoils: 2 bottles ETL, EC12, 3 bottles HHBiB, EHTSmB, StaggJr, Lombard Gold Label Blended Scotch.

No ETL at Keystone, none at Toddy's though he was selling WLW12 for $79. No thanks.

No ETL at S&V, but they did have the HHBiB for $10.96.

Bardstown Wine & Spirits had the two RTL in the back room for $59.99. Talked them down to $55, which was still too much, but I drove a long way and wasn't going home without some Elmer T.

Nice haul. Good job on that trip
