Achair34 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Hello, I will be taking a family road trip to the following cities and would like any info on good liquor stores for the following cities. Also wanted to know if the duty free shop at the border is worth stopping at. Thank you. Detroit Toronto Montreal Quebec City Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverc Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Are you coming on 94 from Chicago to Detroit? In Ann Arbor, there is a shop called Tippin's that has a lot of nice store picks. It's not far out of your way. I always stop there when driving through. You aren't likely to find much at Duty Free or in Canada (especially harder to find bottles and it will be much more expensive). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richnimrod Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Duty Free at the Ambassador Bridge doesn't usually have doodly for Bourbon. Scotches? ...maybe a few worth the looksee, as well as assorted other drams; some at decent prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the recommendation. I will give it a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tippins currently has an EC, 1792 & KC rye SB for store picks but they will have Weller 107 and some 4roses barrel strength store picks coming in the next couple months. I’ve tried their 4R, KC120 and RR store picks and they are all solid. Ideal to go on Wed when they get their shipment. Happy hunting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re leaving Chicago Friday morning and then should be back through Ann Arbor again the following Sunday. So I won’t make it on a Wednesday, but I’ll definitely stop in to see what they have.

fishnbowljoe Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Plan your route. Then do a google search for liquor stores along/near your route. Print out the results of your liquor store search. There ya’ go. You’re all set depending on how much time you have. Another tip here, if any of the liquor stores along your route have websites, be sure to check them out. Enjoy and have fun. Biba!

Vosgar Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Joe - you forgot one other factor we've both had the good fortune of....... a spouse who is also a "spotter" and lets you know of stores we would've otherwise missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
