On the way home, stopped in to see what was new, found this at $38 and thought it was a good buy, yes/no? I like Maker's on occasion, so I thought what the heck.

More then well done sir.. It’d run me another 20 spot on top of what you paid... I haven’t partaken yet myself, but the next bottle or two on my of “to buy” list. ;)

Oh, it's good stuff, trust me.   As good a wheated bourbon as it gets.

I grabbed an ER for the bunker. Saw a few on the shelf, and the price wasn't too bad.

That’s a fantastic price! The 375ml bottles go for almost that much in stores near me.

 

Certain shops around Minneapolis are clearing out mm cs 375 for 16$ a bottle.  I’ve scooped up a few, but I’m guessing distributors are sitting on a lot of stock.

The variances in availability state to state never cease to amaze me. EHT stuff is on the shelf in basically every store, every day here. The barrel proof has gotten tougher but the small batch /single barrel / rye are everywhere, and priced very fairly

The only BT products that you can find on the shelf at all times in NC are Benchmark, Ancient Age and Platinum 7X Vodka. Eagle Rare in the last year or so is available on the shelf at most ABC's, but otherwise it's all strictly allocated and never makes it to the shelf.

Definitely a good price and a much better pour (to me at least) than the standard Maker's. That's less than you can get Maker's 46 for here. The Cask Strength is $50 in NC.

I continue with a stretch of not drinking much. But I picked up a store pick of EC yesterday, basically just because I hadn’t been into one of my main stores in a while and was in the neighborhood. 

 

Now the test of my self control, as I head to Vegas today. Not that it’s a Mecca of bourbon or anything, but lord knows I’ve had my share of late night whiskey at the craps tables. And I usually make my way to the Delmonico bar for a good pour of something.....

Am off work today, and went by my favorite store to see if some tequila I had ordered was in. It turned out to be a Good Friday for a different reason.

Picked up another Jim Beam Repeal Batch today. It’s hard to believe it’s just non chill filtered White label. Not as good as Distillers Cut,but serviceable nonetheless.

Damn. I’ve never even seen a Weller 12 on the shelf. What state are you in?

I live in Georgia, but these are never seen on the shelf around here either.   I just got lucky.

Good Friday score! Must be BT distribution season for FL, shelves are flush with their product lately. First time I've ever seen Weller (red label) in FL too, but I've had that in a bar in IL before so passed.

I've been chasing this though, never even made it to the shelf. I heard the owner talking to his wife about their allocation and bought it before they put it out.IMG_20190419_181121425.jpg

The Maisano’s FR is interesting.  12 y/o & 104 proof at barrel strength.  Barrel yielded 156 bottles.

The struggle for BT products in NC is real. It takes A LOT of patiences, most of which I do not have.

Store held a bottle of Legent for me but they did have one more left on the shelf. Will crack it open tomorrow night.

Grabbed a spare VOB 6 100 Crafted while there as well. Not sure what to call it anymore.
