Bourbon Hunting in Lexington / Florence Kentucky: 4 Roses Single Barrel Store Pick

[@xxxmaddogxxx101]

That Blantons is a Straight from the barrel. I think I might have bought it for the 300.

[@roscoepcoltrane23]

Nice pickup on the Four Roses. Good stuff.

[@mrbourbonfromky733]

Like the local liquor store hunting videos. Definitely helps!

[@jameslane9267]

Just picked up a Four Roses Single Barrel Store Pick myself! OESK 57.3% ABV for $110. I couldn’t agree more, one of my best finds yet!

old cater batch 11 msrp is arround 299

[@joeyoliver504]

Saw some bottles I'd like. And hey a single barrel pick of John J?? Yes please.

[@RK-ow1zg]

Glad I hoarded the 4 roses picks back in 2019 when they weren’t hard to find

[@Mr.KobeZoom]

EH Taylor and eagle rare I’d be leaving with 150 all day!! I never see it and I’m in really good with owners just super hard to find around Maine

[@kane6106]

Those 4R picks are 🤤🤤🤤

[@TBrizzle]

I would’ve bought that old carter allllll day long

[@thebourbonchronicles]

Come to KY, it’s everywhere

[@iceman2796]

I would have jumped on those Old Carter bottles, $250 is super cheap compared to online prices. Love those Four Roses bottles. I actually just got a Blanton's Gold and Straight from the Barrel for MSRP $130 and $170.

[@thebourbonchronicles]

I heard it’s being sourced from Dickel?

[@kane6106]

@@thebourbonchronicles I haven't heard that, but The blue note 17 year was dickel sourced, yet it was amazing and tasted nothing like dickel 😬

[@iceman2796]

@@thebourbonchronicles I haven't heard that but I wouldn't doubt it. Old Carter is very rare, to see that many bottles is very unusual. They have how much of each bottle was made right on their website. I'll have to go back and look at the bottles and compare to the website.

[@Sea-Jay]

@@thebourbonchronicles Pretty sure some of the bourbons are Dickel. OC American is MGP light whiskey

[@TryinitwithOliver]

This was cool Thanks

[@karimm33]

Was that John J Bowman SiB a store pick? Seems like a good price.

[@jameslane9267]

Yeah that was definitely a store pick. At $60 that’s one hell of a find, he should have jumped on that immediately.

[@derrickjohnson5803]

Why is everything so expensive in KY? Just went to CA and you can find a bunch of stuff at or below MSRP, plus there's a ton of availability.

[@thebourbonchronicles]

Way more demand

[@shawn84567]

Man, that was a heck of a tip on those 🌹🌹🌹🌹!!! For what it's worth, how recent was that? BTW thanks to your tip i was able to secure a WR batch proof and a Larceny BP. 👊🏽

250 not bad for Old Carter. I have never seen it below 220 in my area, but we have almost 10% sales tax. If no sales tax there, not bad at all (but even if tax not bad)

[@FriePaul1337]

If you find OC for 100 dollars let me know... because that does not exist haha

[@trentpekkala]

Hey man - I enjoy your content! I’m in the Cinci area as well. How do I find / join that Bourbon FB group?

[@thebourbonchronicles]

It’s called Greater Cincinnati Bourbon on Facebook

[@trentpekkala]

@@thebourbonchroniclesthanks!

[@BigCope216]

Haha. Wow. You would’ve paid a whole 100 dollars for the Old Carter??? Well, enjoy never having a bottle of it.

[@lazer185]

Do you need a membership to buy liquor at Costco in Kentucky?

[@thebourbonchronicles]

Yeah

[@Iron6569]

No you don’t need a membership.

[@cheesecheese8240]

That was a straight from the barrel Blanton’s!!!!! Should have bought that!!!!!!!

[@thebourbonchronicles]

For $300? Hmm I’ve tried it before, it’s good but so many barrel proof bourbons are as good or better. 1792 full proof is probably just as good blind. Haha that’s my hot take.

[@forgettablelisa]

@@thebourbonchronicles Blanton's straight from the barrel is an S-tier drinker imo, but yeah not for $300. Equally offensive, $40 Buffalo Trace?! I think you made great choices, the Russel's and 4 Roses picks were the two most interesting bottles I saw and not totally insane on pricing.

[@shlbysims3]

Those Old Carter's retail is 199.

[@thebourbonchronicles]

Oh, didn’t know that

[@johncapannari3453]

Where is that liquor mart at?

[@thebourbonchronicles]

Outskirts of Lexington

[@timtaylor1616]

Happen to remember which one? I’m in Lexington until tomorrow morning.

[@DaMainDude]

Weird - why is a botte of Eagle Rare $75 in the US if I can get one here in Germany via Amazon for less than 40?

[@thebourbonchronicles]

Well…. Around $35 is the actual price, stores are marking them up due to the demand.

[@duffyaltermatt4811]

How much was the Stagg jr?

[@thebourbonchronicles]

$300

[@duffyaltermatt4811]

@@thebourbonchronicles you should have bought it, up here in MN that same bottle is $499-$599

[@umami0247]

Would have taken the lucky seven. And that heaven hill 20 will be there in fifty years at that price. In Kentucky those prices should not be that high. The state is not regulating these stores enough. Again these over priced secondary markets don’t benefit the distillery.

[@thebourbonchronicles]

Well, he have regulated prices here in Ohio and I don’t bother hunting here. It’s not fun, all allocated stuff is gone immediately. People wait in line as the store opens, store owners hate them and are super rude.
