I went to school at Georgia Southern years ago. Bulloch County (Statesboro) was a dry county. We drove to the County Line Package to buy our liquor. Statesboro is a great town!
That is at or even below what the EH Taylor sells for in the DC area when you find it on the shelves. I know a store in DC that sells the standard EH Taylor small batch for $150. The only way to get them below $100 is to get lucky at abc stores in VA or go to store drops in Maryland.
The Hemingway Rye is a very good pour, I will be replacing the bottle I have soon. I can’t wait till I am in Ga. to hunt. Great video, nice pick ups. 🥃😎🇺🇸
The pricing at that first store is disgusting. I'd never go back and tell everyone I know not to go there. Bourbon is for sharing and enjoying, not gouging people. Makes me sick to see so many good bottles sit on a shelf that will probably be there for a long, long time.
I went to both store because of this video. I purchased cigars at the first. I informed them to let you know. I obtain the Store picked Maker’s Mark at the second. The owner said he was going to tell you, a viewer stopped by.😊😊😊
I saw Weller special reserve today for 50 dollars about 75 miles from Statesboro. I use to live in Statesboro when liquor sales didn't exist. I had to go to the county line
We just had a Buffalo Trace ghost drop in nh at the state stores . Grabbed 3 small batch at $50 each and 2 Blantons at $70. Also won a Handy in their lottery for $125 and got two Buffalo Trace and two Wellers Special Reserve store picks for $35 each recently.
@@Bourbon_Hunter definitely. They’ve done two this year and I was an hour late for the Stagg both times. Thankfully I work 2nd shift so I’m home when they announce them.
That was a great video! Tons of great bottles, sad they are marked too high to go home with you, but you snagged some great ones! Curious about that Baby Jane…. Please do tell! I have picked up a couple of the Laws and if you like a fig note in your whiskey then you will enjoy it. It’s a pretty solid bourbon. However I have not tried the San Luis Valley Ryes, but when I get the chance I’ll probably grab one. Those prices are in line with what I’ve seen it for.
Please let us know how that baby jane is, I have been curious about it, also that tincup 14 is a great easy summer sipper for that price. Usually sold at like 100 or more
You love 1792 so much, I was wondering if you tried the Costco Kirkland brand bourbons? They are made by Barton’s 1792 and their same juice for half price for a liter bottle. They have single barrel, bottle and bond, small batch and full proof. They are released about twice a year at costco I believe.
If you gonna be the bourbon hunter, you gonna need to get a Cosco card. I hear people talking about great deals in there ALL the time! Really enjoying your content! Onward👍
I try to stop by Clarkes II when i can. I live 10 mins from the one in Newington. Unfortunately he doesn't keep anything allocated in that store. Bit Bradley has "hooked" me up once or twice. Whiskey business is ok, I'm local to those guys and have spent some money in there but never got "loyalty deal".
So I live by Freeland in Portland and their bottle is pear shaped to represent women since it's an all women distillery. Their bourbon is just 3 year MGP finished in a cab wine cask. Honestly, I don't like it too much. Their gin is what people usually like though.
I got one last fall for 125 bucks, I was pretty disappointed when I cracked it, has a funk to it that was interesting but in all honesty, larceny BP is much tastier.
@@Bourbon_Hunter I have not even cracked it open. I have so much bourbon unfortunately I need to run through it. Maybe trade it away since I don't like sitting in allocated lines?
The PGA EC is standard small batch, however, supposedly the juice was pulled from a different rickhouse or a different part of the rickhouse where they pull their standard stuff from (not 100% which or perhaps it’s both). Several different reviewers have said it is better than the standard offering.
@@Bourbon_Hunter I wrote a more lengthy response but it didn’t post. In short, they definitely made an effort to pick from Rickhouses P, 1G, and A. Did they make an exceptional bottle on accident, most likely, yes.
Hemingway is a sleeper, too. Those old Fitz prices are damn good compared to my area. Van Winkles are always underwhelming easy sippers. Not bad, just overhyped.
Freeland is a great little all female distillery. They are more known for their gin, but in the past year released their 1st rye from their own distillate. Good flavor, but overpriced because they are small and new. If you're ever in portland, it's a good place to visit.
If you're ever around Thomasville GA, stop in at 1861 Distillery. Great drinks, food, and atmosphere. Their bourbon is a little young for my taste, but the Sorghum Whiskey is always a good bottle.
That Clarkes place had some great prices and a great selection. Now… still don’t understand your disdain for Penelope but you love widow Jane products?
@@Bourbon_Hunter I did a quick google search to recheck my aging, bourbon fogged memory and unless they started recently… I confirmed they source their bourbon from MGP (maybe prior to HH buyout) and then cut it with their limestone water. Hey, if you like it, that’s all that matters! I like several MGP products. Have you tried the Penelope 9 year?
I just scored the 15Yr Old Fitz at the BCL Liquor release in BC Canada for $300 CAD, and thats MSRP here. Edit: Also the Weller Single Barrell/Full proof for $80 CAD and 12 Yr for $99. Old Forester 1924 for $102 and JD Twice Barrelled Heritage Rye for I think $96.
@@Bourbon_Hunter They only drop twice a year and you gotta be in line pretty early. Its first come first serve here still. BTAC's and Pappy are lottery.
hurts so bad seeing EH Taylor all over youtube then my nearest 2nd hand wants to sell them for 270+! One day I will stumble upon it at msrp and be a very happy guy.
Man I know $80 for EH Taylor small batch is pretty fair considering secondary prices are insane but I would’ve sent you one for a trade if something I can’t get in California. When I see them I grab them and usually around $55.
I know it's the military base price for me, but that Elijah's PGA bottle is the same price as normal Elijah 31$ flat just don't know if the juice is any different id assume we would've heard about it by now if it was.
@@Bourbon_HunterThe whiskey for the release was pulled from rickhouses P, G, &A.Heard it's good for MSRP but not exceptional. Has that fancy medallion in the stopper too!
I like 1792 about as much as you like Penelope 😅😂. Passssss. Some museum prices on a few of those bottles at the first store. The Short Barrels are awesome.
Another Portland whiskey that looks really good is Burnside. Know nothing about it other then the state it’s from and what the bottle says about its characteristics
Yea, we have a few shops in our area that just put stuff out on the shelf. You got to get lucky. Nobody puts taters out on the shelf at those crazy prices either. They are usually held for allocated drops a few times a year and sell for around MSRP. Just got a big father's day drop at a few places here in Tulsa, OK.
A local restaurant gave me a sample of the Charles Goodnight. I recommend not even tasting it. It tastes like lighter fluid and was the worst bourbon I've ever tried.
Laws is ok , nothing earth moving. A decent craft whiskey. Surprisingly in a blind everyone’s least liked by far was the cask strength. Kinda makes sense since it is the youngest whiskey (not worth getting). The EC PGA is just a sticker exact same whiskey.
@@Bourbon_Hunter no it was out of stock when we picked up a few bottles. We blinded a Rye Barrel Select, Four Grain Bourbon Bonded & Four Grain Bourbon Cask Strength. We all love rye and the unanimous winner was the Bonded with the Rye a close second. If the cask strength had more age it would have been very good but instead was extremely youthful and not worth spending money on
Just grabbed a Stagg 24b from there. They did drop the prices some in the cigar room. After your video the room got cleaned out!
Great video! Awesome snag on the EH Taylor Bottled in Bond!! Cheers and keep the great content coming.

Same here. Bulloch county boy too.
