Allocation lotteries and drops are stupid. In WI, there is no such nonsense. Bottles placed on shelves of the majority of stores at state law minimum markup prices, I believe it is still 6.5% over mslp.

What is your thoughts for this years B and C. Compared to last years B923 and C923 man those two were so 🔥🔥🔥

You're welcome

I'm currently looking for that bottle too. I thought the B batch was very good. Man, you made that sound delicious. Cheers

Didn't get into hunting whiskey until early this year. In Aug/Sept 2024 found 5 of these A123, (2) B522 & (1) B521 at the same store, just sitting on the shelf in the open next to the other EC stuff. They are $76 total (no sales tax on booz state). Got some of the A123, but left the others.

It's been the year of the wheated bourbons for me and Larceny didn't disappoint. Love the new label.

Nice review! I thought the A124 was really nice, B524 was even nicer, and C924 is awesome! If you hold a black light up to the new label it’s really easy to read everything! Cheers!

Great review Myron! I’m always on the fence on buying any Larceny BP so will see if I pick this up. cheers man 🥃

Great video and review bro.

If you want Buffalo Trace and can’t find it, look for Benchmark single barrel instead. It’s higher proof, readily available, and IMO better.

Love these too … ever since the C921 release Larceny has been carrying its weight for the price and then some! I haven’t seen any C924 at VA ABC yet but bet your bottom dollar I’ll be grabbing at least one when I do!

Full Proof Weller is a monster as MSRP - happy hunting!

Dope review, these are always sleepers. They stay on the shelves for a while. I remember back in 2020 you couldn't even find one if you wanted to ha.

I'm with you on the Larceny. I'm a big Larceny BP fan and buy everyone that comes out. C924 is my favorite.

Love the Larceny BP still looking for this one. I have not seen it in VA or MD yet.

Great video. I'm still looking for a bottle too! I like the new label. 🥃

Larceny barrel proof is straight 🔥

This batch is my favorite of the Larceny batches this year.

lets get a 12yr + age stated one too!

Nice review Myron. I have liked the Larceny BP’s more than EC BP’s lately. 🥃

I'm use to paying between $60-65+tax. I did get lucky on this C924! $52.99+ tax at a Sam's club. Great review Myron. 🥃

Myron, It's not your palate or preference changing, it's the whiskey inside that changed. KC 9yr used to be my favorite, also. The original KC from 1992 to 2016 was the good stuff. Sometime in 2016, they started the NAS KC & that stuff wasn't even close to the 9yr. Even when they brought the 9yr back in 2020, still no good. Most or all of the older juice is going into the 12yr, 15yr, 18yr or SiB. For WT101, not sure exactly when it took a dive, but I know the batch bottled on 10-17-2017 is at least twice as good as the 1-20-2021 to present batch.

Love these videos

In trade, you can trade that weller 12 for an antique straight across. Just got a w12 I'm going to do that with

What's the max on Weller full proof?

Outstanding video! I learned at lot after my first year of my Bourbon journey.

Ohio is looking to pass a law that forces liquor stores to open desirable bottles before they sell them. Its supposed to cut down or kill resale. I think its totally STUPID. i want to open my bottles for a special occasion or when i want to.

Wouldn't pay over msrp for anything but ECBP C923. That could change if I try something that I really like. This year got a couple E.H. Taylor BiB at $58.98 at a grocery store. Think that is absolute top dollar for that bottle & didn't like paying that. Could have bought more at that price, but left them. They raised the price to $69.99 & they are just sitting there, nobody is buying. At same store got some Blanton's $59.98 & one Eagle Rare 10yr $58.98. Won a lottery this summer to get Stagg 23B $70.

Great episode. I really try to avoid secondary. However, Stagg is one of my favorite pours. I paid $185 each for 24B and 24A. To me, that’s worth it but to each their own! $200 is my limit on that bottle. Life has gotten more busy for me in the last 6 months and I don’t have the time or energy to drive all over town trying to find it for retail.

here's a beginner's guide to secondary: have patience, and simply do not participate. Better to just support your local bar and pay for each of these whiskies as an individual pour, realize they are NOT worth the secondary market price, and move on to what's sitting on shelves because there's some pretty elite bourbons and ryes to be had at retail price. you can basically set an upper limit of, say $140 for a bottle and do VERY VERY Well in the retail space. VERY Good video for the newbies, here.

EH Taylor Small Batch is $100 here, the single barrel is $200. I did buy a small batch, it wasn't worth the hundo

Unsubscibed. ✌️

I agree if you get Weller 12 for retail hold onto it for a treatable asset. You can easily get $120 men for it from a bourbon group. I would pay $120 for old Weller antique because it’s so rare and even if it does appear in a store, it has to be pure dumb luck to get it at retail.

Myron‘s Buffalo trace pricing is great. EH Taylor Small batch retail in my area is now $60 retail. Elmer T Lee retail is $55. Blanton’s regular is $90.

I found Eagle Rare 10 at a store near me for MSRP. I was shocked.

I paid $125 for a Blanton's. I've never seen it in the store where I live, so I grabbed it. No regret.

Va new drop system really has you on the hunt now but good vid and now a new follower

Secondary really comes down to your area. State Controlled is much easier to get allocated at a fair price compared to me in Michigan where we don't get a ton of Allocated overall and no one sells it at MSRP...double MSRP is the bare minimum. You really need to understand your area and what the average price you are seeing. Weller 12 for example...cheapest that has every been here is 150 at one store. Typically 200+!

I like Myron. I'd like to drunk bourbon with him. I think I'd lean a lot!

If we all stop paying these insane 2ndary prices, the price will go down.

First time watcher. Well done, throw some single barrel offerings in as alternatives. Love the video, Bourbon Together!

I’m not patient enough to stick to MSRP, I’d get very few nice bottles in my state. There are just too few available to satisfy demand. I’m not one for going without, either. Life is too short to drink bourbon you don’t love!

1st time viewer here, found you searching "Horse Soldier". Hah, I do the same as you, about judging an unknown bottle. If it looks really nice and/or they spend a lot on marketing, the juice inside is likely not worth anything near the price.

100% agree with you on the ETL!

Came across this video man. Great job explaining everything. What I have been seeing as how different every state is. I have gotten eagle rare and eht small batch pretty easy here as well as blantons but I cannot find any other type of eh Taylor’s. Regular buffalo trace is everywhere for about 21 bucks. As far as weller I barely got my hands on the 12, the SR is alright paid 27 at Walmart. Cannot find antique, single barrel or FP.

Literally just tried the white dog yesterday. Weird. It definitely tastes like moonshine. Wasn’t a fan. That Westward sounds great.

I would add JD 10 and 12 year. I’ve only seen these at about twice msrp. I stick with the SB Select and barrel proof. I wonder if the 10&12 are worth the extra $$$? Great video!

This was a great and informative video. I was chasing the EHT SiB but had to ask myself why. Same juice as the SmB just from one barrel. Staying strong. Stagg 22A is my weakness though! 🥃

I agree with you on these. I think living in Virginia is simultaneously a good and bad thing. It’s great that I can get some at msrp and know what msrp is on the va abc site, but sucks that I can’t find things often with the new system (though yesterday i got SUPER lucky and was with my wife and her friend and now have 3 coy hill bottles, though I won’t have all 3 for long, as I’ll use one for trade most likely) but I know what to use as a baseline for trades and/or purchase for other states. I also think we need an app that shows msrp and secondary so we can know what to pay

I’m a whiskey newbie, living in Va. I had a Stagg and EHT SB in my hands and the clerk said I could only have one or the other. I chose the EHT😭
