Is It Hard To Find Rare Bourbon In Rural America? Bourbon Hunting 

I'm the stock manager at Marketplace Spirits, im also a big bourbon head. I did specifically hide that over dunked makers in the back for people to find 😂. And of course I had the day off when you came in. I would have loved to talk to you man

Man GTS for $1299 I found mine this year $172 out the door ,,, Nice hunt Thanks

The accent changed real fast when he was talking to black folks lmao

Oof, that first store prices and Benchmark in glass case 😂

Man, another great video and hunt! So cool that you ran into a Patreon subscriber as well! I'll have to be on the lookout for that Knob Creek bourye and still looking for that @BourbonHunter trip down to Texas!

Great selection. I found the Knob Creek Bourye a few weeks ago. One of my new favorites. Bought a backup. Cracked open the MM Heart Release last night. Really enjoyed the neck pour. My local store has the Heaven Hill 7 Year BIB for $37. 🥃

Agree on the tropics. First Jefferson’s I’ve really enjoyed.

Thanks for giving Sumter some love. My in-laws are here, so I get to hunt periodically. WHOLESALE always has a smiling folks. Also got my first (2) RR store pics there. Good memories 🍻

I'm from Sumter and I never thought I'd see a bourbon hunting video there. I'm sorry that you had the displeasure of visiting my hometown 😂

Awesome video. I lived in Sumter for a while as a kid. I'll definitely have to check these stores out next time I'm in town.

Got the 2024 Makers for $73, wouldn't have normally picked it up, but I was going to a bottle share and I knew people would love to try it. Mixed reviews, but most enjoyed it. Not every bottle will please the crowd, but glad I got it.

Nice finds brother. Congratulations on that. Good video.

We agree on the Old Scout Port. My entire bourbon crew loves that bottle. 🙌🏼

I’ve had great luck finding bottles in rural Washington, Idaho and Oregon. Unfortunately the prices are the issues.

The part at the end when you sprint by had be rolling

I paid $129 for the new Little Book at Costco 2 months ago.

Total Wines in Indy had little book 8 for 150 roughly a couple weeks ago. 2 per glass case. Very good if you like rye, but not a $200+ bottle.

I loved the Old Scout Barrel Proof Single Barrel Rye, not a huge fan of rye but loved that one, and also loved port finishes, so when I saw the Port Finish Rye come out, I bought one for my birthday soon after. Definitely a good buy!

In Texas and I paid $34 for that Weller special reserve 1/2 gal

What an awesome video! You were right beside a solid bottle in a couple of the stores…. The Timber Craft is amazing! On a different note, the only people I’ve heard say Thomas Moore was good were older non-bourbon drinkers for what it’s worth… 😂 Giveaway…. Review up coming! LETS GOOOOOO!!!

I never even saw a stagg jr at a store in Ca. But i just bought a Stagg jr and GTS at a restaurant that went out of business in my area. Cant believe i have both.

Great Episode! Love the Maker's Heart Release, for sure!

I picked up a widow Jane 10 year after seeing you talk about it so much. It’s probably my favorite sipper currently

Wow, $200 for the Woodford 121. It's like $120 at my store in southern Indiana across from Louisville

I live in a big city, and you see rare bottles a lot, but they're always full secondary. no rewards programs, no raffles, nothing. so I definitely think it's better in rural areas

Have you ever been to The Party Source and the New Riff distillery. Now that's a bourbon shelf

Another great hunt and great interactions, well done!

That Pepper decanter tastes just like the Old Pepper Bib but with more proof. I’d like to see that decanter at $50 and the Bib $40-35. Great juice for sure but idk if it’s worth the price. Cheers🥃

Shout out from Greenwood!!!

Can you post a video of your bourbon collection? I looked through your previous videos and couldn't believe there wasn't a collection overview

No way they have benchmark in the glass lmao

Just picked up that baby Jane today because of this video, I knew when I saw it I remembered you saying something about it. Thank you

Its crazy how many knob creek 18 u see. Great video!! Definitely a fan

That New Riff malted rye is a buy all day at $60. Such a pleasant surprise.

I have the Blood Oath2017 P3 with box. My wife bought it for me back in 2017. I still have half the bottle.

Did you really like the Maker's Heart Release? I saw some not so good reviews of it online by some heavy hitters. Comments were it's another toasted stave finish like most of their others, wasn't earth shattering for the price, etc. Great video and finds up in Sumpter

Dang, would love to grab that Makers BEP in that last store! Cheers

Imma need to see if you're faster in all the videos!

New riff 6 year rye is amazing

So I am in clearwater florida for the week just landed like 5 hours ago and stopped at two liquor stores....I found penelope rio for 200, 1792 12 year for 150, full proof 60, single barrel 50, plus BiB and SM, they also had a buff trace store pick for 50. Since I am only going to be here a week I got 1792 full proof for 60 out the door!

I also have a bottle of the Heart Release... Great pour

C922 was amazing!,!!!! Missed out bigtime

Great video, and that MMHeart sure is good. Now I gotta post a review tonight.

Great video. You mentioned a couple sites to check prices…what are they? Im just getting into bourbon and need something to price off of. Thanks!

The Senator store picks are amazing!

The 1792 Full Proof at the last store is wonderful. Have you had it?

That Knob Creek BourRye damn havent seen those in Colorado🥃🥃

i grew up in sumter, and i gotta say...that's the LAST spot i expected to see you in a video lol. impressive scurry speed in that clip at the end btw lol.

I had a tour at the Pepper distillery and I think she said the decanter was aged 5 years, the 1776 only 3 years. I have a decanter but haven't tried it yet.

I'll be at Creekville in the morning at 10. Yeah, they open at 10!

I see those Belle Meade Reserve bottles all the time. I've see them in at least 3 stores in the past 2 weeks. I also see the Nelson Brothers bottles. I had 1 store manager tell me they are making both labels instead of discontinuing the Belle Meade.

Definitely pick up World of Whiskey, the 10 year is fantastic.

In SoCal Little Book is sitting on the shelf for $150-160 and Bookers is everywhere. Not sure why people are marking these bottles up.

Cuvee is great. It’s 150 in VA, that was actually a deal. I think only total wine has it slightly cheaper in some states.

Buy the NR 6 year malted rye. I always have one. Until the 8 year came out, it was my favorite NR bottle

Dude that Senator is the best 6 year mgp rye on the market. It is one of my favorites

I’m able to get the HH BIB at my local Sam’s Club for $39! That’s a steal!

I live in Ohio, Crown Royal XR is 54$ here and can be found everywhere in Ohio

Afternoon BH, Is the Whistlepig 12 a good drop ? i see on your vids they are around the $150 USD mark and I passed one up last week on a local trip to Tasmania for around $75 USD.... Should i kick myself ? 🍻

What is the difference between the heart release and the maker’s 46 cask strength. isn’t the heart full french oak and isn’t that what 46 is?

Great video again!

Found a Great liquor store on the west side of Houghton lake in michigan on old 27. ALOT of juice that you NEVER see in a smaller town in this state anyway . 😉🥃👍 Cheers

Can confirm, Thomas S Moore is worth NOT buying atleast before trying. I got the whole lineup when it first released since I thought it was going to be a limited release Barton finished. Unfortunately the Port finish tastes nothing like the Port 1792

I seen you ran into Davin... While you were in Mac's

New Riff Malted Rye is incredible. It tastes like a better version of the Whopper candy

I saw a Willet purple top yesterday in small-town America. Also a little book.

That knob creek bourbon - rye is great. Found it In Tulsa and jumped on it . Shoulda bought two.

That's a great price for that kentucky Owl Takumi!

That Vatted rye is a buy all day. I wish i could find a backup

We missed you last week!

@15:04 scope that discontinued Calumet 14 year

That Senator is a smoooooth pick up go get it

if you want the little book costco has a fantastic price on it. 125 near me

That New Riff is 👍🏽

Wish I would’ve known you were coming. Could have shown you around some other small honey holes

Is that makers heart the best one in your opinion or like #2 behind the cellar age? Have only had regular makers and thought it was okay. Just too low proof for me

I traded for a GTS. Its heavenly

Can we see the personal collection idk if I missed it but haven’t seen your stash yet

I got a MM Heart release yesterday from a Total Wine for 72 bucks!

The label on the world society bottles or whatever they called is a little too busy for me personally

107 for a half gallon weller SR is absolutely laughable. That’s absolutely nuts.

😂 your heading is an age long question well over a decade ago lol

Where can I watch your reviews of your buys?

So they have Benchmark, Buffalo Trace and Weller behind glass, but BTAC's out on the shelf? Little Book Ch 8 is 🔥...but $213 is a bit steep "New" ECBP A124 😂

I’m going to the pepper distillery in two weeks. While I’m there I’ll ask

Lasallae distillery burn down years ago Crown royal blue bag and red bag will always go up

Do I look faster 🏃🏽💨😂😂

Brooo 1300 for George t, it don’t even sell here for 800

You did indeed look faster

Not Cooper Craft its CopperCraft. I got burned on that at Packies. Copper neck band. 75% corn, 21% wheat, 4% barley. Single brl.

Jack Daniels bottled in bond is a sleeper for like $45

Let’s goooo 😎

Hey brotha is any of that uncle nearest any good?

Quality was way better

😢

Any Early Times BiB down your way? Can’t find it here in NC

Don't get too hyped about Makers Wood Finishing 2024. First - its just Makers 46 cask strength. Second - It's a MASSIVE release. Don't pay over $75 for this bottle or you will be sad when you see it rotting on shelf after a few shipments from the distributor. The Bourbon boom has faded. It's not busted but there is a MASSIVE decline in spending in 2024 over 2023. Just walk into a Total Wine and you might notice the Bourbon Aisles shrinking. Across the 5 stores in my area all of them have sacrificed a bourbon shelf to add other spirits (mostly Tequila). The market is contracting a bit this year and I think that trend continues into 2025 and 2026.

Makers mark BEP is wack

Passed on Kc18 @ retail? Stopped watching
