Quoted from Green-Machine:First time bourbon hunting in quite some time. We found these on the way to PinBrew
That's a good find. Last weekend, for the first time in a long, long time, I found a Weller special reserve on the shelf. Best part is that it was at "normal" pricing. Had to buy it, of course.

Yes! MSRP is always a must buy. Found these in Ohio where the price is always right. Thank goodness!

Can I ask what MSRP is in Ohio….. special reserve in Nj is one of my favorites….. I can’t afford the Antique 107….. just curious to see how badly I’m getting screwed in price!

Quoted from jgentry:Absolute banger of release by Nashville Barrel Company. Best pour of 2022 so far.

Most of their stuff is fantastic

Saw this on their site, but looks like you need a code to order it:
Anyone know the code?
Quoted from RabanzZ28:Special Reserve here is $69
I got the special reserve for $29.99, if you can believe it. Unfortunately, I could only buy one bottle, but I was happy to get it as it's been forever since I've seen it on the shelf. Always looking but seldom finding these days so it's really exciting when you find something.

They have a VIP membership club where you get one bottle a month and early or extended access to their really high end or fast selling stuff. It's your actual VIP number which they match up with you account so anyone can't just order it unfortunately. If the membership is available to your state it's worth trying though imo. Great company and you get a cool gift with each bottle every month. It's not cheap bourbon though. Pretty much $89-$170 for most bottles. It is extremely well done and their folks picking barrels are really good. I've probably tried 150 of their barrels and disliked maybe 10. If you are local you also get a free flight every week which doesn't help most people but it is pretty cool for those in the area.

Great score, I'm not a big weller fan, but I do like that one a lot.

They’re something about Weller Antique that just hits me in all the right places.

A lot more spice and traditional bourbon flavor imo. The others get really grain forward.
Quoted from jgentry:Another absolute fire local release. This thing is heat and cinnamon for days. It's like a red hot candy is using your pallet as a punching bag.
[quoted image]
I concur, it is so good. I got a little carried away the night before last and felt a little rough at work yesterday. Was hard to stop drinking it.

How are their other products? It’s looking limited to these here in Ohio

Where they really shine is on their special release single barrels but they honestly don't have bad products. I know they have an out of state VIP program where they ship one bottle a month to subscribers along with some merch but it's like $200 per month. Most of their best bottles never make it out of the gift shop unless you are an out of state VIP member. They have a facebook group and typically post a very few of the premium bottles only for their out of state VIP members. The others all hit the floor of their store front and typically sell out in anywhere from a morning to a couple days. All bottles are also on the high side since you are buying hand selected sourced products that they then continue to age in house or finish in another barrel. Typically $80-$170.
I do the instate VIP program and get 1 bottle a month, some free swag gift and a free weekly flight at their bar. This months bottle was named night cap and it was a left over barrel from the 2022 bookers program that Fred Noe ended up not using in the -03 batch. So essentially a bookers single barrel under a NBC label.

Thanks for the info!
Ok don’t laugh (too hard)
I am looking for a bottle of BTAC because I owe a favour. I don’t have the slightest clue where to start but I have learned all online sales are fake. If one of you can legit help, please send me a PM. I will pay the price and remember when you go looking for a playfield.

Which bottle? Probably looking at 800-1600 USD depending on which one you want.
These are just fantastic - if you can get in on the whiskey and wishes highly recommend

If their bottles had Buffalo trace on them people would line up all the way around Nashville for them. Really incredible to have them local. Are you in the area or just a fan from a far? My wishes bottle is already gone : (
Agreed - I’m on the boarder of KY so not so much that far away. Our bourbon group loves NBC - also I’d sell an organ for more of these Nashtuckys

Yeah, those were great. I only got one and didn't open it until it was too late to get a second. Great bottle. Pretty amazing to me how good some of the stuff they are pumping out it is. The founders series is pretty mind blowing. Probably going to be worth a fortune down the road but I can't help myself from opening them.
Quoted from FantasticPinball:Understood. Do you have any of the five?
I have several of the GTS and Handy's and a couple of the WLW. All are good but not close to worth secondary prices. None of them are close to my best bottles either. It's largely hype related. I've yet to get a E17 or Saz18 but I don't like the Saz18 at all so that's probably for the best.
Most of the sellers on this site are pretty reputable. There's a Handy for an ok price. Not sure if any would ship to Canada.

Yea, I got one bottle of Nashtucky and by the time I cracked it it was too late to go grab another.
Will be traveling to Tennessee in a few weeks.
What are good local bourbons not able to pickup in Northeast?
Available at liquor store or pickup only at distillery?
Keeping in mind my typical price range is $40-$50, might go as high as $80 for something special.

Main distilleries in this area are Jack, Dickel, Wheeler's Raid, Nelson Brothers, and leipers fork. Barrel houses are Southern Collective and Nashville Barrel. You can get some base products in the lower range from most of the distilleries but you won' touch many special releases for $80 anymore unfortunately.
I enjoy Dickel & Nelson brothers products
They are available in Northeast.
Sounds like Nashville Barrel would be out of my price range.
Stopping at Four Roses & Buffalo Trace tours on the way through

Might be tough to find anything at $80. The Nashville Barrel stuff is amazing but I think the cheapest bottle I have ever purchased there is $140
Quoted from jgentry:Tonight's pours
[quoted image][quoted image]
They had some Bardstown at my local hole yesterday for $160.
Stopped by my local and saw a bottle of Kentucky Owl Wiseman Batch 12 on the shelf.
Good Lord that is not a cheap bottle!
Quoted from Madmax541:Stopping at Four Roses & Buffalo Trace tours on the way through
The Buffalo Trace tour is the only free one left I believe and is pretty good with a small tasting at the end. They usually hold back bottles of Blanton for folks on the tour at MSRP , about $60ish? You can also get a bottle at the gift shop but gotta get there early. They went through about 1000 bottles and sold out for the day in less than three hours when I was there in December. One per customer every three months, they scan your license for verification.
Went to Buffalo Trace tour today, really nice tour. Pick up Weller Special Reserve, Buffalo Trace, and got wife bourbon crème.
Next Four Roses tour different than Buffalo Trace tour. Both had great sample tasting at end.
I can see why they’re a big line at Buffalo trace waiting to get in gift shop. Great prices.
Stop at couple liquor store looking for different bourbons not available in my area. Will post pictures of when get back home.
Off to Memphis and then Nashville
Well this was my favorite so far, possibly tied with a one off from deerhammer in Buena Vista, CO that I can't find a picture of right now. Later years of The Saint aren't quite as smooth but it's still absolutely fantastic.
