Got to my mother’s house yesterday, slim pickings for whiskey around here. Called up aisle seven Spoiler Thanks again, you handsome devil. Real nice balance of sweet grain and spice on this one.
lol Big thanks to BrickTamland for going through the seventh circle of suburban hell to meet me for a bottle exchange. Super excited to open that Chattanooga single barrel.
It’s not rated as highly as the others, but I enjoy it. It’s a nice gift. Definitely wouldn’t turn it down and considering you didn’t pay for it, you will enjoy it.
that was me. i am a beer drinker transitioning off of carbohydrates, definitely do not listen to me. some of us just live in states with dumb laws where simply navigating the system is a feat to get excited about.
Just came across Weller Antique in the wild for the first time since 2015. $200… offered the guy $100, then $150, and he held firm at $200. I like to think I held firm by walking away
That entire shelf is absurdly priced. Whoever owns this place should be stripped naked and beaten with a sack of nickels for the rest of his life.
I bought the EH Taylor… Couldn’t remember if MSRP was ~$45 or ~$65 but given that it’s a private liquor store in Alabama and I never see EHT anything in this state, it wasn’t nearly the robbery the WSR was
The liquor store down the street from me I got two Stagg Jrs for $60 earlier in the year, now selling it for $400. I got it that price because the bottles just came in and the boss wasn't there to put the secondary price on them yet, so the underling sold them me for MSRP. Also saw the Jack Daniels Coy Hill for $700. Fuckin chumps.
I have 2+ cases of WSR 1.75 at home. Guy told me he bought the 750 for $85. And that he sold 7 of the W107 for $200 today
$100 for Weller Special Reserve . Get 4 bottles of Maker's Mark instead if you want a 90 proof wheated bourbon.
are you in Michigan? Place in Ann Arbor (Big House on Stadium) has W12 for $499 and Elmer T Lee for $300. They said they had Stagg as well but I knew it was going to be crazy.
I blasted the owner of that store on Wednesday. He also has a store in daphne. The owa was $50 more there….. Tried to tell me he had to pay state abc a markup which is pretty high on allocated bottles. Told him he was full of shit because abc price list is the same whether selling to individuals or resellers. Also showed them what those bottles could be had for delivered to your door. What an ass.
I meant to tell him I would get him an unlimited supply of wsr for $60 per bottle for him to sell at 99.99….but I was too busy laughing on my way out.
