Not here.
My favorite liquor store owner puts one bottle of harder to find stuff out to prevent out-of-staters from loading up. Keeps a stash in storage for regulars. Tons of four roses, eagle rare (shit bourbon IMO), and buffalo trace. Willet (overrated), and Calumet (also hot garbage) are also in abundance. I can get EH Taylor small batch, but one of my favorites, the single barrel, isn't available. Higher dollar items like Kentucky Owl Confiscated, Elijah Craig 18yr single barrel, whistle pig 12, Very Olde St. Nick 12yr ancient cask, Rare Perfection 14yr and 15yr, etc are out on the shelves. Their price prevents hoarding ($80 to $199/bottle). He doesn't charge secondary market prices, which I appreciate. But it makes his store a target for black market resalers. He's figured out how to combat that and still make money. |

Saw plenty of the Taylor small batch the other day and a few bottles of Blantons (picked one up for 100.... cheapest around here from anyone with it in stock by far). |

Yep, I can still get small batch all day for 45.99, but the single barrel is nowhere. Bought a bottle of Blantons for $65 yesterday. Not easy to find, but my honeyhole store owner puts "Easter eggs" on the shelf from time to time. You got to look behind bottles to see them. I look very carefully.  I'm seeing a lot of Russell's Reserve varieties on the shelf. Tons of Michters varieties. Willet, Sazerac, eagle rare (sucks), buffalo trace, angels envy (overrated), all Woodfords, are easily available. Whistle Pig, Peg Leg Porker, Kentucky Owl Confiscated, and the other rarer birds are also available. A half gallon of Weller SR was on the shelf for $55...didn't buy it because I don't like it. But most of the hard to find BT lineup is still scarce. ETL, EHT single barrel, blantons, and anything from the antique collection are hard to find. |

Oddly the EHT small batch is right around the same price here as it is by you, but the Blantons is significantly higher. I picked up a bottle of BT for 30 with the Blantons and its really hard to justify in my head paying over three times the price for the Blantons. |

No. Barrel proof? Yes. |

Here, the strip gets the bulk of the allocated bottles. Since the strip was closed, distributors were selling a lot of those off to other stores. Costco actually got a bunch of Stagg, Stagg Jr, Weller 12, Pappy, etc. Most of the bottles didn't have limits. I was about 5 minutes from getting into Costco and someone posted that there was like 30 bottles of W12 left. Two minutes later, someone posted that they were all gone. I went in and sure enough, all gone.
Didn't see the asshole who snagged them all either.

This is why I don't mind the Limit 1 or 2 ... makes the re-sellers job atleast more difficult having to send in other people to get some. |

I'm in a small enough market that pricing is above msrp anyway so a lot of people won't pay the amount asked for harder to find bourbons. But at msrp they would disappear. I'm on a FB page called Weller Fan Boys and the reselling there is unreal. Everyone is buying for resell. Guys have cases of Weller SR. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Got the last bottle of 1792 Full Proof the other day for $90+tax. Dude had no idea if or when he might get more. Sorry, I know this is an old post, but it staggered me that you paid that much. I bought a bottle of 1792 Full Proof a couple weeks ago at Total Wine (and they probably had 30+ bottles) for $45. So weird that there is that much of a difference. |

Long Island prices, already high to begin with compared to most markets, plus the ridiculous taxes, plus the earlier coronapanic side effects. I'm not surprised at all.

Market availability and pricing differences are insane. AL state run stores get next to nothing of allocated production, but I can find 1792 FP at msrp now and then. Problem is, if abc doesn't get it, no one else does, either. |

I doubt it is due to covid19, but I have become a good customer so my guy lets me have first crack at items such as ETL, Weller and others. Just got this guy a few weeks ago.

I snagged a couple of bottles of Four Roses single barrel today, and a Buffalo Trace (which is what I normally drink).

Quote HistoryQuoted: I'd say so. I've never seen Stagg Jr. Or and EH Taylor on a shelf In my area those bottles are unicorns for anything less than full secondary pricing. I am still smiling at the price. I looked in the liquor department and same old stuff. The stocker asked me if I was looking for anything in particular. I asked about them getting allotted Buffalo Trace bourbons. She said, "Yes, we got them. They are on an endcap over by the chips and snacks." Walked over and about shit myself  They would have been gone if it was in the liquor dept. |

Are things lightening up??
I was just in a local store that has tons of stuff that people can't seem to find. Only weller was SR. Tons of 1792, and more types of whistlepig and old forester than I even knew existed. No buffalo trace (on the shelves anyway). But I think this guy holds stuff in the back for his regulars.... |

Calumet 14yr is now available. Not gonna buy it. Three Chord Bourbon is all over. Nope. Sweetens Cove (Peyton Manning bourbon). Nope, not at $200 for an unknown. Lots of Knob Creek variants. I did buy the 2018 special release (which was good and high proof), but not looking at the others (too much corn flavor for me in Knob Creek bourbons). |

Quote HistoryQuoted: As he should. Loyal customers should be rewarded over locusts. Yeah. No complaints about that. I used to go in there quite a bit, but haven't in a while. Another guy by me does it too. He will get it if you ask and he likes you. I also noticed a very large sign on the door saying "LIMIT 1 MEANS 1". Obviously he has been dealing with vultures. This guy also deals with a bunch of idiot thieves running out with bottles, and has been broken into a few times. |
