ABC stores/states often cap how much bottles can be marked up and you'll find them cheaper than in states where the stores are privately owned and operated.

[@Johnny_]

With it being an ABC control state you always have a chance to get it at msrp! It’s kind of a give and take situation with it though. When bourbon/whiskey is super in demand you see the lines begin crazy early and feels impossible to get the bottles for that retail, but with the current market it’s definitely great for us whiskey fans that are able to get to the monthly drops!!

16:40 covid made people get new hobbies. It was harder to blow money at clubs, bars and other social things, so loads and loads of people started spending money on new things. We saw market shifts in guns, cars, video games, computer parts, heck everything, and now that more people are interested in the things only a handful of us used to be interested in, there’s more demand. It’s great for the industries, so the hobby has a less chance of dying out, and meeting more people that share the same interests is awesome, however I do wish a large chunk of them would go back to whatever they used to do lol but that’s me being selfish which I know isn’t right.

Blows my mind how it all works over there where its actually made.

No waiting in lines up here in NH. We only have state liquor stores. Every few months they have a limited release drawing. Enter into their drawing from their website.

I love watching these boubon reviews but Im a Scotch lover myself. Can i ask there seems to be a lot of variance between the different barrels of the same company. Is this a lucky quality control thing or by design? Most manufacturers would say consistency sells.

[@anthonyboyles2700]

I remember when I first got into bourbon and didn't know much and I found my first blantons it seemed like I hit the bourbon jackpot lol. Now when I see it at drops I have to turn it down bc better bottles are there. I was 80th in line at the last drop and got a CYPB and old fitz 10 yr. Had to pass up on blantons gold SP , weller 12 , weller FP , stagg jr. Drops we get in NC are way better than this. Especially Asheville and Charlotte areas. I also understand the hobby and comradery in it so def not hating.

I'm not a hunter because I don't have the time to be one. That said I did get a bottle of Booker's 2023 release this weekend at my local ABC. Our store puts all allocated bottles on the shelf when they get it and have a designated allocated shelf. It's usually empty when I go in, but this time I got lucky and there were 3 bottles left on the shelf. They limit it to 2 bottles per group, so you can't go in with a bunch of guys and buy it up. Weirdly they limit traveler's to one bottle per person and I can find that at multiple stores all over the area.

[@TheBigburcie]

The Avonak you tasted was from one of the early runs that they made before all their own equipment was up and running. They are now getting their beer made by Spindletap brewery which is in the Houston area, then they distill and age onsite. They literally being the owner who runs all the production side himself. If you come through Houston, you can visit the distillery on a Saturday and talk shop with the owner.

All the Koval's I have had has a strong sharpie note. If I recall as well, the Journeyman had a similar note but a bit harsher.
