I wish there were more 375ml bottles of bourbon out there. Sometimes its tough to spend $50+ on something I have not tried.

[@cincybearcats1]

I personally think the best way to try and up your sales is through packaging the deals. Makes the most sense to me, and it helps you move other less desirable products all while allowing people to buy the allocated products at msrp.

[@jenellekranz7139]

Bottle kills while fishing this past week: JD 12 Yr, James E Pepper Barrel proof, 4Rose OESV barrel strength, Russell Reserve Private Selection, gatsby Reserve 15 yr, & OKI reserve batch 1. Good fishing + good pours =‘s great times

[@jimneary2802]

HEading down there in a couple weeks. SO glad I watched these so I know where NOT to get ripped off.

[@textilewolf]

Completely agree on the sample sizes. I think the larger distillers should also do it to get their products in more people’s hands.

[@bigdrewuga]

John Os - the main location - is the best whiskey store I've ever been in. Period. Just awesome. I stop in and stock up on items I can't find ini GA every trip (my family farm is just outside of Etown).

[@AppalachianChaplin]

What town is the main location in? I'm gonna be passing thru soon but I'm from nowhere close to there so I don't know which is the main store and which isn't

[@bigdrewuga]

It’s in Etown as well but it’s closer to the local hospital

[@steinm02]

Main location is 508 W Dixie Ave, Elizabethtown, KY 42701

[@TheNewRevolution]

I live in Kentucky. I won't buy bottles with huge markups. I have a couple of stores where I can buy stuff at MSRP. I've gotten so turned off from the price gouging that I not only will I not buy anything from the stores doing it, I just will never even go back in a store that does it. So go ahead and mark your bottles up. You'll get a nice payday if you can sell it. You're not going to get a dime of my money. I spend a lot of money on whiskey. While you're waiting for that huge payday, you're going to miss out on that smaller weekly payday. I have friends who feel the same way. It's not just me. Occasionally, I will go into one of the liquor stores I have forsaken and buy a bottle. But only if it's a convenience thing where I'm close or going right by the store and I want to get something to try. On my weekly round hunting, I never stop.

[@daverandolph1245]

I over paid for a Blantons black label.

[@TheNewRevolution]

@daverandolph1245 unfortunately if you don't know where the 3 stores are in the state that won't try to screw you, you'll overpay for any allocated bottle in Kentucky.

[@lilbopeep6059]

They’d rather hold onto a bottle for a year so they can make 200$ per bottle once or twice a year rather then sell a case in a week and make the 200… not sure why that is but I have a few shops around me and they just stock pile it and mark it up 2x only to do a “bargain” sale at the end of the year to actually sell everything wick of course is treated like a lottery in some states with lines out the door… and it’s still above msrp…

[@bloodCount8895]

Amen. I do the same. My two local grocery chains will get bottles and sell them for either msrp or just $2-10 over. It takes them a while to get them and they randomly put them out with no heads up or social media. Luckily I live down the street from one. I just got weller 12 for $49.95, weller SR $30.95, buffalo trace for $27.95 (in IL, it's somewhat "rare"), 1792 Aged 12 $45.95, 1792 BIB $40.95, 1792 Sweet Wheat $42.95, and Magnus Cigar Blend $159.95. Just have to be patient and a bit luckily bc the bottles do go fast. The other day, the store put out 6 bottles of 1792 sweet wheat. I bought the first bottle at 9am. I went back 4pm after work and all gone.

[@TheNewRevolution]

@bloodCount8895 I'm lucky because the manager at my main store will actually put bottles in the back for me. He knows I'm going to be there at least once a week, and I buy whatever he puts back. So he's never stuck with it. Even if it's not my favorite bottle, I can always trade it. Recently, he put back a Weller Antique 107 store pick for me. It was $64. Even as a store pick, it was about half the price of other stores. I've got some serious sweet bottles from the store. I tell him to never refuse anything. I'll take whatever he's got. Even if it's a crazy $1000 bottle as long as it's MSRP.

[@RichCiminisCrustyTissue]

That 1st store actually has some reasonable secondary prices and you should try the Kluke. It's some good stuff and I need a John J Bowman. Wish I was a little closer to Etown

[@Koss42]

Amen on the smaller bottles. I got a 375 of the Jack Single Barrel Barrel Proof and when it's gone, I'm getting the big boy.

[@colelanza3019]

Hopefully you see this comment just to help inform you a bit buddy. Around 8 ish months ago peerless switched distributors which most brands don’t do so the first distributor had to get rid of the rest of their inventory before they switched so they sold it at ridiculously cheap prices wholesale to stores. One store near me had peerless small batch for 39.99 or 34.99 I can’t remember but dirt cheap basically. but the actual cost to my store to bring in the small batch right now I believe was around 60 so msrp around 74.99 but just to let you know why it might seem weird that some stores have great prices and some don’t. Some took advantage of the wholesale price and are too greedy to give their customers good prices but some stores didn’t get the chance to take advantage of the deal. Cheers

[@HunterFraley304]

[@jonathanlunneberg1722]

I really enjoy that Old Overholt 114. And I have a bottle of the A. Overholt Monongahela that I need to crack open soon.

[@AmishFury]

Do it now. It's my fav RYE of the year for the shear value at $40. I burned through 4 bottles, since we've had in PA since the beginning of the year. have a 5th yet to crack. It's a banger for the price.

Did a little hunting the other day. My second stop, I found Knob 12 right on the shelf... Bought that at MSRP and another bottle. Guy at the counter tells me to wait as he walks into his back room and pulls out a bottle of Weller Antique 107.... I had never seen one here in Wisconsin... Paid secondary for it, but less than the "Fair Price" according to BoozeApp! My bourbon hunting was done pretty quick that day!

Casey Jones bourbon was named after a still maker in Golden Pond, KY (in present day Land Between the Lakes) back during prohibition. The distillery is in Hopkinsville, KY.

Damn! Just missed ya. I live in ETown. It’s impossible to find decent bottles without markup attached to them. Whenever the occasional release happens at liquor barn, people will absolutely kill each other running across town to snag them within 5 minutes. I’ve just started keeping my eyes peeled for single barrel drops from local stores. That’s the best way for decent bottles anymore.

[@auggie87]

Big fan from China here. Love your videos. May be a stretch but you should come over to Asia to try out some local whiskeys. Also due to the low to zero import tax and no alcohol tax, we can get rare, genuine bottles for below US MSRP.

As a etown native living in Louisville, liquor stores will mark up prices which is ridiculous. I use to get blantons for $70 a fifth. Lucky to see it u set $125 a fifth now. Best luck is to know when meijer or cox’s smokers outlet gets shipments and be there early that morning to get regular price

[@nickdovgi]

Old Overholt 10yr Rye is FANTASTIC. Easily up there with Thomas H Handy, Saz18, Michters 10yr Rye, and Michters Barrel Strenght Rye. I completely blanked on the fact that the Knob 10yr Rye is from the same distillery and very similar on paper so Ill definitely have to snag one. If its 75% as good as the Overholt 10 itll be a great deal. The A.Overholt is SUPER unique aswell and definitely one you should pick up.

[@waynep6616]

Burton James uses other distillate besides MGP in some of their blends. The blends are typically 2 to 4 barrels, with age statement, region, and % of the mix for each barrel listed on the tag on the neck. Their blends are all mid-100's proof, well balanced, and FANTASTIC! Their distillery-only single barrels are even better! Pick up any bottle of Burton James and you'll be hooked on them. I grab one every time I see them.

[@BriGuy8609]

Hopefully others listen to your advice on always checking the willet green top age statement. Once stumbled on a 10 year mixed in with standard and is wasn't priced correctly either.

Yeah, small sample bottles are great, but here in Norway, it's not many of them, and I've yet to see any that's bourbon. Mostly scotch and cognac, and the obligatory aquavit. Got a sample of Canadian Mist whilst visiting the US, and I'm glad I did get the sample bottle, cause that is not a good whiskey at all. Well, except the aroma, which is not too bad, but the taste leaves a lot to be desired.
