Augusta Bourbon Hunting Was... Interesting

[@ScullsHideout]

Love seeing the stores in my area get the recognition they deserve!!!

[@Bourbon_Hunter]

Heck yeah! Thank you for watching!

[@treytison1444]

ID'ing a guy trying to buy Four Gate and Ben Holliday is so funny I burst out laughing.

[@ChangeHumanity]

He id him cause he gave him a sample tasting. Its very common

[@Bourbon_Hunter]

This KZbin thing is all a gimmick. Its so I can buy alcohol underage

[@apeekintime]

Dude, I'm 41 and I get carded about 30% of the time when I'm checking out and I rarely spend less than $150 when I buy bottles. Clerks are just conditioned to card anyone who isn't 800 lbs.

[@mrpapinchock]

$300 for an EHTSmB isn’t even secondary. That’s like $200 more than those are going for on the national secondary market

[@sorinsrn5442]

​@@mrpapinchock that bottle is 50 bucks msrp. Wtf

[@shmoo1000]

Love the Sunday videos and especially these last two longer episodes

[@Bourbon_Hunter]

Just grinding recently 😎

[@littlejoe4107]

My wife just got back to New Hampshire from Florida. She got me a jd Bp rye 138.6, a barrel dovetail,a rd1,sold forester statesman, a smoke wagon, a blue note juke joint, and a benchmark single barrel. I have a great wife

[@Bourbon_Hunter]

LUCKY MAN!

[@ugahiker2470]

Great score on the Soft Red Wheat Rickhouse proof. I was able to grab one from my local store a couple of weeks ago for $75 and it’s great. The extra proof over the standard bottled in bond really helps it out. Hope you enjoy it as well. Happy Masters week!!!

[@Bourbon_Hunter]

Thank you for watching!

[@Drizo41]

That was to cool of a trip brother, one thing I’ll point out that most people seem to overlook is when you said I’m not here to take the allocated bottles from locals. Always told you brother your a good man that carry’s that humility well brother. Always got your 6 🫡

[@Bourbon_Hunter]

Yessir! You know the deal

[@YaBoiSneedMan]

that coors bottle looked dope. i hope to find that one someday

[@TheBourbonJedi]

Great buy on that Four Gate. Those are great bottles and you got a killer price on it.

[@Bourbon_Hunter]

Thank you Master Jedi

Love your videos kid. Keep them coming. I look forward to them every Sunday. Cheers my friend.

[@deadewok02]

really cool video of the stores around augusta. i will say...i shop at beverage outlet on the regular and the manager is a super nice guy. i guess i need to start asking about bottles more often lol.

[@cherokeelaketennessee7895]

I got Monday practice round tickets last year, didn't even think about hitting the stores around Augusta but I wasn't looking for bourbons like I am now. Everywhere I go now, I'm always hitting the local stores to see what's available. When we go to Lexington and Louisville for the horse races, that's the trips we get serious about finding good bottles. Congrats, you got some good ones!

[@Bourbon_Hunter]

Thank you! I appreciate you watching!

[@mtsublueraider13]

Was up there for The Masters. REALLY enjoyed meeting the guy who ran the liquor store at Costco near TopGolf. Solid dude with a passion for what he did. Also was able to get $40 Eagle Rare. Was a happy camper.

[@Bourbon_Hunter]

Heck yeah! 🔥

[@freedomcoins9556]

Just hunted Augusta yesterday and there are 3 spots that we scored BIG at!

[@Bourbon_Hunter]

Nice!!! Whatchu scoop and from where? Im curious

[@thomasmichael6509]

The points system at that store is way better than any of the stores of point systems. I’ve seen in Kentucky. The one by my house has Blantons gold for 2500 points, same thing with a dollar being a point.

[@Bourbon_Hunter]

Gooooodness!!!! Thats a little overkill in my opinion

[@thomasmichael6509]

@@Bourbon_Hunter no kidding. Coy hill was 6000 points. They used to have their points much more reasonable a few years ago but the last two year they went crazy.

[@StevenAlwine]

A&M is my local store. Not only are they cool folks, there's never really a markup even on rare stuff when they get it, their music selection in the store is always top-notch.

[@easye47]

Those Traveller whiskey bottles are just sitting on shelves everywhere 😂

[@Bourbon_Hunter]

Yeah I think they are starting to flop

[@Bushy556]

I think traveller is MGP purchased by BT.

I love GT Liquors! I got a Rock Hill Farms there!!

[@Bourbon_Hunter]

Lucky! How much you snag it for?

[@pinonXO]

$300 for Taylor small batch is CRAZY. Thank God I bought 2 at MSRP 🙏

[@Rmvm77]

Red line does some great finished whiskeys

[@rampage222555]

It's pretty easy to find Blantons in the area . I think every store I've been to has them. You gotta ask though. The smaller stores all sell it for around $120. One place sold me a bottle for $100, but I had to buy a terrible bottle of vodka with it.

[@crs250]

Good job Hunter, enjoy the videos.

[@Bourbon_Hunter]

Thank you!

[@wesleycolston1792]

A&M had the Ben Holladay Rick house proof last week. Sold out in a day. Those Log Still Distillery products are all great

[@Bourbon_Hunter]

Which Log Still is your favorite?

[@wesleycolston1792]

Guess I didn’t watch far enough. I see he told you that. Great store though.

[@72cmcinc]

Cool stops and some good people! Just saw the Willet Neptune in my local store!

Coors also bought Blue Run last year.

[@Bourbon_Hunter]

Most shocking thing ive read all day wow had no clue!

[@negativephil6869]

My neck of the woods. A&M is a great place. That beverage outlet keeps some good stuff behind the counter at close to msrp

Thats what I heard! I bet they got some goodies hidden around there

Thanks for showing the Makers Mark Cask strength dipped. I picked it up today.

[@Bourbon_Hunter]

Hope you enjoy it! 😎🥃

[@Boo_Yeah]

Doc Swinson's Bossa Nova is the best Amburana finish.

[@Bourbon_Hunter]

I’ll check it out thank you!

[@Thebourbonbuffoon]

Solid discipline holding off on that 11 year for 650. That had to be super tempting. You woulda thought he had that one marked up sky high

[@Bourbon_Hunter]

It was just out of reach for me! A little lower and I might have has my most expensive video yet

[@justinhillhouse8906]

2nd city distillery (Noble Jones) also does a Masters themed single barrel each year and name the bottle after each hole at Augusta National. This year is number 3 so you can still collect 3-18. Pretty neat idea. Don't know if the juice is good - haven't opened mine from last year.

[@Bourbon_Hunter]

Open her up!

[@aarondhermanson]

If you havn't yet, you should try that Cedar Ridge Bourbon.

[@adamwilson7450]

As an Iowan, I love Cedar Ridge. Great video as always!

That JD SBBP Rye is pretty nice at 134 but found a Hazmat 140.2 on shelf in Atlanta. Just kicking myself for not buying more bottles to bunker (was at MSRP around $65)

[@Bourbon_Hunter]

No way thats a dream bottle

[@SigmaNuHE481]

I got a bottle of 1924 in New Albany, IN here across the river from Louisville for $120 the weekend it came out on the shelf with all the other OF products. Guess I got lucky and need to hold on to it as long as I can

[@Bourbon_Hunter]

I appreciate it! I’ll let you know 🤙🏼🥃

[@billcaffrey2672]

I was not a huge Penelope fan boy until I tried the 9yr Private Select. It is pretty amazing for the $60-$70 price tag. Would love to know if you’ve tried that one. If not, I highly recommend. In NJ/NY I’ve found it for $59.99 and went back for 2 backups. It’s that good.

[@timbuma3693]

[@keithsmith4944]

Great hunt, and appreciate the info and honesty from last store. Btw, have you tried that Barmen yet? Been curious about it.

[@Bourbon_Hunter]

I actually think for $35 its not badddd

[@Evilfaic]

I've heard nothing but great things about the RD One Amburana. Complete apple cinnamon flavor bomb. I'll definitely be picking one up once I feel like spending $70.

[@Bourbon_Hunter]

Yeah the price point is what scared me

[@OakvilleKGB]

Nice pickups of the Four Gate and Ben Holladay! I thought you said that Four Gate rye was $474 😳

[@Bourbon_Hunter]

I woulda ran away 😂

[@anjo8244]

[@Bourbon_Hunter]

Less than $110

[@lddelong]

Great vid. Heads-up! I grabbed a Coopercraft on the way out of Packies without reading it. It's not Coopers Craft. MGP juice but beautiful bottle. OK, I'm a Tater.

[@Bourbon_Hunter]

Interesting! We are all taters

[@johnwill7962]

Funny how the shop owners always try to justify their pricing that’s 2 times higher than secondary lol

[@Bourbon_Hunter]

Guy was very nice tho

[@Redhead40]

That Willett 11 year was a decent price. I would have picked that up. On the other hand, anyone who pays 300$ for EHT Small Batch needs their head checked. Great video!

[@Bourbon_Hunter]

Thank you for watching

[@CClizzy]

Was about 30min north of u, yesterday, in thomson GA. Found the smallest liquor store in the world i think lol but they had eagles rare for $39.99.

What’s the deal with “slam dunkers” for Makers Mark? I haven’t heard of that before. Just found your channel recently and love the videos! Keep up the good work

[@Bourbon_Hunter]

Welcome aboard! Makers Mark Dunks a bottle in wax every so often. Its no different in flavor or taste just a cool look

[@johngarnett1791]

Those prices are all insane. But I completely understand since they know people are coming to town for the Master’s.

[@Bourbon_Hunter]

Pretty much haha

Thank you!

[@deepfrieddeals]

I just picked up Old Forester 1924 for $114 in Atlanta. Sitting on the shelf

[@Bourbon_Hunter]

Atlanta is the king of Bourbon because the population is huge! I need to go and do a video up there sometime

[@deepfrieddeals]

@@Bourbon_Hunter It’s still a tough market though. The big box stores do random drops or raffles which are hard to keep up with. The smaller shops sell the good stuff at massive markups. Still haven’t found a good shop in the city that runs a decent point system loyalty program.

@@Bourbon_Hunter so Harvards probably has the best selection of liquors in Aiken. Anything allocated will be marked up but last time I went there they had some decent store picks too. My favorite store would be Happys Spirits. She doesn’t have a huge selection but the owner is super nice and every now and then will hook me and her regulars up. She had a bottle called Journeyman’s corsets whips and whiskey which I loved. Northside package shop can have some cool things but very hit or miss. If going straight for allocated only, liquor land would be good but they charge as much if not more than what you showed in this video for anything good. Whiskey road in general has a lot of stores that will be hit or miss but you can hit all of within about 10 minutes of each other. For food, check out Pizza Di Napoli.
