Man.. I wish there were more owners like this! So refreshing seeing a guy that enjoys it and understands the regular guy trying to enjoy bourbon
Couldn't agree more! 🥃
He's the best
By regular guy, you mean RUclipsrs who will travel to get any allocated bourbon to a region in order to get some clicks on social media. The bourbon market has been manipulated by unethical business practices, creative marketing, and people willing to make risky investments on unregulated aftermarkets to make a quick buck. Notice how the allocated stuff never wins blind tastings, it's all marketing and consumer manipulation.
Amazing picks but better owner. Great that he spent so much time explaining his picks
For sure! Thank you for watching!
The creativity on the themes/labels for these store picks is awesome! Love that they are doing something fun with them and not taking themselves too seriously
I agree sometimes I give into a good tater sticker
That is one good salesman, heck he'd make old crow sound great!😂
Haha! Old Crow is a TOUGH sale 😂🥃
Very transparent owner, appreciate that interview. Great store picks 👍
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching! 🥃
Your video title is misleading my dude, this guy was a gem, super knowledgeable, very patient, great explanations.
I bought two post production dipped bottles? Seems like I fell for the tater sticker and dip to me. Also, me and that guy go way back anyways. No harm done!
I thought the title was hilarious.
The store manager/owner has a great voice.
You didn’t know it but this is a ASMR video
Thank you
That store owner is awesome! Here in NC most of our stores are lousy because they’re state owned and operated and most (with a few exceptions) of the folks working in them could care less if you buy something or not. Plus the selection there is amazing from what I’m used to seeing.
Oh wow! Thank you for watching tho!
State owned liquor stores! How does that work?
Idaho is the same way..basically Idaho as a state is a “store” so we get store picks which are actually state picks chosen by the state reps and we are very fortunate when we get allocated stuff it’s at or very close to msrp with very little tax (blantons $64 eagle rare 35 buffalo trace 25 pappy 23yr 299) almost everything gets evenly distributed to every store and the manager puts out one of each allocated bottles at their own discretion so you might see a weller full proof 1 time in 2 weeks if they get a case of 6 them for the pappys and btac there is a state lottery any Idaho resident can put in for for free and if you win you buy the bottle that you selected at msrp all btac are $99
I miss the days when Fortaleza was just sitting on the shelf at $50 and no one knew what it was. Then a TikTok'er spilled the beans about it in a viral video.
I’m a tequila guy, just getting into bourbon. That Fortaleza was way overpriced.
One of my favorite videos you’ve done. Those store picks were super cool, and the conversation was fun to listen to. Nice work!
Awesome, thank you! 🥃
Probably one of the coolest, most honest store owners you’ll ever come across. “I’m running a business not a charity” made me laugh out loud. Great video!
Wow, thank you! I appreciate you watching!
Exceptional Series!! 😍
That owner is awesome. Very informative.
Sure is! Thank you for watching!
Hunter... I was at this store on Monday and bought 6 bottles. all are great and I did the $5 deal..Thanks to Chris for taking the time to walk me through the series of those awesome barrel picks keep up the good work Hunter!
Cheers! 🥃
That's a GREAT owner. Wish there were more like him..
Heck yeah!
Here we Go on the Penelope! I’m here to tell you the 9 year will change your mind. Toasted is also Great! Cheers Hunter, everyone has their own palate.
Cheers! Haha! Penelope hate is justified around these parts
@@Bourbon_Hunter Really Enjoy your Bourbon Hunts! Keep up the Great Work! Been a Sub since the Beginning! Nice to see the success you are having while enjoying what you do!
Man I’d buy so much with just the unique additions to the bottles.
Thank you for watching!
That owner was great. Really good interview with him
Eyeing that WB Saffel.. good stuff!
Great store! Grab the rare character. The exceptional series are fantastic!!!
Man, one of the coolest store owners I have seen in a video.
I need a store with an owner who actually cares here in northern Colorado. This guy was awesome. One of the best videos yet.
Im glad you think so! 🥃
Try Hover Crossing Wine and Spirits in Longmont Colorado if you're near there. One of the owners or maybe he's just the whiskey expert knows a lot and doesn't hold back or mark up allocated bottles. They also do whiskey tastings on Fridays between 4 and 6.
Great video, you're killing it!
Thank you!
Chris is awesome! I’m definitely visiting his store when I come visit my daughter!
You should!
That’s exactly it. Going to such a place with great store picks! The first two picks shown of the Barrell Rye and the Bulleit are musts. Then with this guys logic you get the bonus hilarious BT bottle. I wish they shipped. The Bulleit bottle is over the top for a gift haha. Another great video!
Thank you! I appreciate you watching!
Great hunt video. Nice owner and some great selections and store picks.
Glad you enjoyed! I appreciate you watching!
This was great! Love the discussions with the owners.
Thank you for watching 🤙🏼🥃
your best video yet. nice!!
Wow, thanks!
Agreed, this owner was top notch. A guy you wouldn't mind sharing a burbon with.
One of your best videos so far…well done!
Glad you think so! 🥃
Great video, super informative!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Really wish we had a store like this around CT!!
This was a great video. Glad I stumbled across your channel. Subscribed!
Awesome! Thank you!
Cool store and great guy, thanks!
🤙🏼🥃
Chris is the man! Thats my go-to store and that Rare Character is fantastic!
Heck yeah!
We go to Folly Beach every year with family. It was after last year's trip that RUclips started recommending your videos to me. We just planned our trip for this year and I had just started my hunting list! Perfect timing!
😁🥃 Im happy the algo brought you here!
I’d definitely support this store if I was local. Great owner and sounds like some amazing picks!
hey he was super cool. loved that he just chatted. That is a store I wish was near me, I would go in all the time. Great hunt. cheers
Thanks for watching! Cheers! 🙏🏼🥃
THIS STORE AND OWNER IS BADASS
I really like this guy. He is very knowledgeable of the products he carries....go back to him!
Heck yeah!
That Barrel Foundation is soo good!
I’ll snag one here soon!
I love this store, used to go there pretty frequently when I lived in the area
That's awesome!
Not just a great owner, but a very knowledgeable man, who was generous with his time. Yes, it is a two way streak, but that guy is doing just fine for several reasons.
Not really that much of a bourbon drinker, and paying out of state tuition to U of SC for another five and a half years for my daughter, so I am watching what I spend, but I will definitely be checking out some of these liquor stores in South Carolina my next visit,
As a graduate of U of SC you’re a great parent!
What a great store owner!
We agree!
Great video. Store owner. Very knowledgeable. Keep it up.
Thanks for watching!
Haha when he asked you if you like MGP… I literally said this is all my guy picks out as his fav’s! Redwood, widow Jane, Remus… but for some reason… even tho everyone likes Penelope… you turn your nose up to the WHOLE line :)
🤫 you’re not supposed to say that out loud
@@Bourbon_Hunter no worries, your secret is safe with me. Really nice store though. And really enjoy hearing what the owner had to say about the industry… lemme thumbs up this real quick!
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Man dude got some really good picks
Great Store and great owner , He is rite everyone likes what they like, I have had a couple great Buffalo Trace Picks, also I love Penelope Valencia and Love Mixing it with 7up Zero great Flavor....
Nice! 🥃
I can vouch for that Old Soul Tintype #2, that stuff is legit. What a great store owner. I will make sure I check him out the next time I am down that way. I honestly want to buy that Rare Character after hearing him tell the story behind it and compare it to the Parker's Heritage Single Malt. Great video, Hunter!
Thank you Trey! The JEDI!
Yes
I wish we had stores and owners like this in Ohio. 🤘
But Ohio has Weller 👀🥃
It's was pretty awesome to meet you at the ABC store cheers!
Yes it was! Cheers! 🤙🏼🥃
This guy said most of his commercial business is to Kiawah Island, so I'm guessing his hard work and enthusiasm have really paid off.
Wish my local stores had owners and workers like this guy. If I was closer I would buy from him just because
Heck yeah!
Favorite tequilas Ive tried and have tried alot. Below are additive free and taste amazing highly recommend.
1. El tesoro Anejo (overall favorite)
2. Tequila ocho
3. Don Fulano Repo or Anejo both fantastic
That owner is great!
G4 Blanco is an additive free tequila that stands side by side with Fortaleza!!! Amazing stuff
real nice store.....locals are lucky!~!
Thank you for watching! 🥃
Store picks all day! SCBC picks!!! The club has had some crazy good picks!!! Chris and David for the win!
Heck yeah! Hope they watch this video and give chris some props!
I posted the video to the group. Proud SCBC member!
Glad you went by 7 star. They always spend time talking with the customers, it’s not just bc you’re filming. I recently picked up the Buffalo Face but haven’t opened it yet. You just missed out on their OFSB.
The buffalo pick is very good!
This store has a fantastic tequila selection. Lots of good additive free brands. I see El Tesoro, Mijenta, Cimmaron, Volcan de mi tierra, Primo, G4, Cascahuin, Don Fulano, La Grimas, Terralta, Arrete, Siembra Valles, and Tequila Ocho (my favorite brand they don’t make a bad product). All great options!! Love your videos.
Fortaleza is about $70 retail. But is so good it’s a buy at any price under $100
Thanks for sharing! 🥃
Amazing cool owner. Fortaleza is about $65 msrp for the Blanco. I just paid $200 for a bottle.
Geeesh!!! I love the cork on the bottle tho for sure
That owner is on point.
Insane to see fortalaza on the shelf like that. We never get it in Georgia. I worked at the biggest store in Augusta and the two years I worked we got 1 silver and 1 anejo. Stopped back in last week and saw the rep who gets it and asked for one and he only laughed said he wished he could get it in.
Tequila ocho reposado is awesome and would love that BT
Great! I’ll check it out!
Tequila ocho repo aged in Widow Jane barrels is tasty.
I was sold once he went in to the pricing of the Buffalo Trace and the reasoning. That's an easy guy to support
Sometimes it just makes sense
That Tumbling Dice 7 yr rye on top of the allocation cabinet would have been worth grabbing depending on price.
Also was surprised at the amount of old label High West rendezvous rye on the non allocated shelf. Definitely keep a eye out for the 2017 or older bottles. First two digits are the year.
Good call! I’ll take a look next time im there
I got my hands on a Double Oak Peerless in Aiken a couple weeks ago! SO GOOD!
Good choice! 🤤🥃
@@Bourbon_Hunter love watching a local guy put out good videos! Keep it up man!
You know an owners not trying to sell you something when they begin a sentence with “honestly…”
Haha! Salesmen will be salesmen you know honestly…
Belle Meade is STILL in production, just can't get the label outside of Tennessee. Outside of Tennessee it's labeled as Nelson Brothers.
Great video and great session with that store owner. One thing he pointed out that I'm hearing over and over again from our local store owners in NorCal is how much product these companies make you buy to get allocation. Im some cases, forcing you to buy 18 months of product for 1 allocated bottle. It's unsustainable and I feel bad for these store owners who just want to sell us good bottles at fair prices.
Great point! 🥃
Been to Foley Beach. I’ll deff have to check that store out if I’m back down there. Got pulled over and harassed by North Ashley Police last time so idk.
Got to pick up the James E Pepper cask strength bottle next time. It is really solid juice and a great decanter bottle.
Heck yeah! I’ll keep my eyes out for it!
That's why in my collection I only collect single barrel Buffalo Trace because you can either get a good one or the same as all the other ones most of the time you're getting a really good one relaying on people's judgment hopefully lol
I was just in Folly this weekend and DIDNT stop at this store! What a mistake!
The Penelope 9 year is one of the best bottles for the price, I guarantee you'd like it
Penelope is just not my jam sadly
Love those Old Souls. The whiskey is great and love the stickers.
Love Barrell bottles.
The Yellowstone 2022 Limited Edition was one of my favorite bottles last year and so wish it was a core line bottle. The 2023 is not nearly the same. It is good. A nice sweet drink but not a must buy were I buy any 2022 bottle I see but have not found one in months. Down to my last 3 or 4 bottles.
The Redbreast 12 year Cask Strength is straight up
🔥. Just a great bottle that I always have one open and 1 or 2 backups on a shelf. I would say same for the PX but know you are not an irish or Scotch drinker so the sherry finish Irish probably is not your thing but it is terrific.
Thought you bought a Penelope 9 year recently. Interested in how you like.
also, Belle Mead is still in production. unfortunately distillery only or mail service, if available. I miss them being on the grocery store shelf never mind the liquor stores
Wow! Thank you for all that info!
if you get a chance to hit liqour at the lake in lake wylie ever try it out , was visiting a friend near there , great store picks and great selection for a little store
I’ll add it to the list!
As a bourbon guy I'm sure you'd love Artenom 1146, it's gonna run you ~$90. For unaged expressions, Cascahuin next to G4 is great, even the basic 80 proof green label. It's a lowlands tequila like Fortaleza.
Underneath the Artenom is Primo 1861 & Lagrimas del Valle. Primo is owned by the guy who makes G4 + his cousin, its a slightly higher proof & fermented in wood tanks which gives it a slight pink lemonade note without additives. Lagrimas is my favorite release of 2023, it's also made at Cascahuin & has this amazing grassy minerality, more complex than anything on the shelf.
That said you can't go wrong with mijenta, it makes a nice gift for ~$50 since it comes in a box & has a glass topper. El Tesoro is also really good, along with Tequila Ocho. Both are made by the brother of the guy who makes G4.
Huge respect to the owner of 7 star for acknowledging Corazon is adulterated, I had the buffalo trace aged reposado & it was pretty dismal. 100% marketing gimmick
I’ll check it out! Thank you for all the info!
That barrel rye is stupid good
I just had a pour of it and I agree wow!
I want a store like that in my neighborhood. Couple good ones in Dallas Metroplex, but nothing super close. Guess finding good bourbon ain't for the faint of heart!
Fortaleza blanco should be between 45-50 MSRP
Umm....it was never that cheap. And your lucky to find it these days at any price.
Should I have bought it for $99?
Yeah the Penelope 9 is a great bottle but some palates are just different. I’ve found I’m not a double oak guy I had the Sagamore DO and the OF 1910 and they were eeh. I do like the MM 46 cask though. Now both opened up as I drank them so would I buy again probably.
Nice! Yeah i like the Sagamore DO but some double oakes arnt that great!
Fortaleza is way too high there but it’s a great bottle when you can find it. I love these store picks and wish more stores could do them.
Heck yeah! I need to find one thats a little more in my price range! Thank you for watching! 🥃
$70 here in WI. Wasn't a $50 not too long ago?
Would buy that Fort for sure
@@TheUMIA I got mine for $60 I think but like everything else I guess the price is going up
$60-$65 is about right.
I have a bottle of barrel 10 yr anniversary bottle. Amazing wish I had 5 bottles of it
Darn right! I wish I could get one!
Great video, you're finding some awesome owners to talk with. Gotta say I've tried 3 or 4 Penelope and they were nothing special. I won't be buying more unless I hear something has changed about them.
Stay strong with me! Don’t give into the penelope trap
Headed down to Seabrook Island in a few weeks. What is a good liquor store to do some hunting nearby?
The penelope nine year is pretty epic. I'm not a huge fan of the rest of their stuff. But the 9 years is pretty awesome.
Hmmmmmmmmmm 😂🥃
I live in Bama. I have friend who lives near this store. Now I'm planning a vacation lol.
Bring it on! 🥃
Damn i wish stores around me were more like this, CA is always high price on the allocated to the point where it just sits cause of the crazy prices and alot of places don't do barrel picks
Barrel picks are the best! Thank you for watching!
You need to get that rare character exceptional series. Now!
That store had great store picks. The way they do the labeling and waxing is pretty unique. What did you think of their allocated stuff? Just ok? I’ve never seen those Old Soul bottles before. Congrats on the selections.
I was able to replace my bottle of 1792 12 yr for $69, a New Rif Single Barrel Store pick for $59, and a store pick of Weller Full Proof for $135.
Ive gotten allocated stuff from there before its hit or miss with what all they have tho. The store picks are unique thats for sure
Also that Fortaleza is an unobtanium bottle in other parts of the country.
Maybe i’ll go back and buy one
Odd that they wax dip their picks. Kind of cool, kind of out there!
Tater stickers everywhere!
You looked at the lens!!!
👀
I have posted it in your Discord before, but when it comes to Tequila it's exceptionally hard to beat Lalo with the son of Don Julia heading up the business.
Knob Creek 15 just chilling on the shelf too?!?
they had the Buffalo Trace dressed up like the Swayze Express! Bubbles- 'Swayze!?'
Yall killing me 😂
Great video Hunter. Let us know how the Barrel Rye is. Very curious with the Cherry finish. Have a pour of that Penelope Valencia. It is pretty damn good
Its not for me! Haha! Thanks for watching the Barrel Rye I got is SOOOO good he wasnt lying its very good
@Bourbon_Hunter I need that Rye!!! Ask your buddy for a pour of that Valencia
