After a road trip where we did three barrel picks, we found ourselves in Washington D.C. so we decided to hit some stores and do some Bourbon Hunting! What's your opinion of the prices and selection in D.C.?

MADE A MISTAKE ON THE BUFFALO TRACE PRICE at 13:50 That price is for a 375ml, so we've gotta take back the prize for best price and give it to District Liquors for their $30 price! Thanks @OGbrick420 for pointing that out. Also, what we called the Booker's 2023-03 is actually the 2022-03. I guess sometimes you just see what you want to see! Haha!

@collinjohnson8270 Год назад

As a DC native.. the prices are insane because they can be. everyone there has money, and even the ones that don't do everything they can to look like they do, so they can charge whatever they want and it'll still get bought.

Love the video Chad and Sara! I would love to see a video of your pours (even if only for your patrons). You all are lucky. The last time I was in KY I was able to compare the Sazerac and Brown Foreman versions of Early Times Bottled In Bond at a Liquor Barn. I love liquor stores who offer pours!

@MichaelS_MathanDearg Год назад

Great production/editing Chad! And cheers to Sara for the "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" reference and the $.50 word "plebe". And YES, a Jack Rose pour video would be loverly. Because Chad doesn't have enough editing to do already. 😁

@rogerpingleton9199 Год назад

Is anyone else screaming at the the screen, "No!!!!! Don't put that in the window!!! Sunlight ruins bourbon!!!!!!"?

@ItsBourbonNight Год назад

Yeah, exactly. I would not buy a bottle that came from the window display. I wondered if they take them our of the window at the end of the day, too. Would seem very tempting for a smash and grab, unless they had bars that get pulled down at closing, but don't remember seeing any.

@rogerpingleton9199 Год назад

This comment is before the video but this video has to be fascinating! I lived in DC for 3 years and the best hidden gem bourbon finds were liquor stores in sketchy areas. Everything on the hill was usually overpriced...

@vladtepes9614 Год назад

Part of me always hopes that the stores who are charging outrageous prices for bottles eventually go out of business. It would serve them right.

@apeekintime Год назад

Store 2 is a museum, not a store. Even asking $100 for KC 12.... $120 for Mckenna 10... yeah, even if they had something reasonable I'd never give that kind of store a penny of my money.

@KevinWilson-cc7lj Год назад

I love it when you two go hunting in a fresh region. I had to unhinge my jaw at the Pappy and Parker and Stagg and Weller lineups routinely on display at the first store you ventured into. The effect mercifully wore off over time. I always knew DC was a boss market for whiskey. Startled as a Wisconsinite to hear how many things you don't see on the shelves in the motherland of Kentucky. The bourbon game is so strange! We have a Honeypot in Madison which sells Blanton at $129, so good for them, but I am over it as a house staple these days. Totally agree with your Buffalo Trace price assessment. It's plentiful in southern Wisconsin in the 28-32 range, and my lush brethren have adopted it after graduating from years of Korbel consumption. Like Blanton's, I'm over it and on to new, fun bourbons. Fortunately, there's always more to discover and I know my favorite podcasters will get to it all in due time. Five stars as always for the work you two do.

@Datimdavis2900 Год назад

I used to live in Arlington- just across the Key Bridge. Many of the stores were not there when I moved out of the area 12 years ago. The prices will be set based on the income of the area…which is ridiculous.. great video. Keep them coming.

Very hard to find, only 900 bottles produced each year. Would love to hear your take on it sometime.

Living in DC I always tell people who come here searching for bourbon that there are really only museums here so you might as well just go to one of the Smithsonian's they have more interesting stuff. The DC market is sort of like Kentucky stores can buy from the secondary so that's why the prices are super high at a lot of places. I mostly only go to control states/counties to get stuff or out in PG county in Maryland.
