Picked this up in Michigan the other day. ESB is my favorite

Meiers in Michigan had some good prices on bourbon

$45 for Barrel Bourbon and $35 for the Wilderness Trace store pick

TechsasJim

$35 is a great price for a WT store pick.    $25 more here in Houston.   Great drinking too!

WT is great, big fan!

I'm going to be in Nashville TN this weekend ... any chance I'll find Eagle Rare there, any advice?

There's always a chance and the further from the distillery in Frankfort, KY the better are your chances.  If it's a truly "gotta have" I'm sure there are stores that will have it at secondary market prices.  FWIW-

I did see it on the shelf in Vancouver, in case that helps.

Found it. Got 2 bottles. $130 USD a bottle. I'm thinking maybe a bit steep, but honeslty don't give a care.... This stuff is incredible.

First Time for me,not bad at all.

@legume yes, the dangers of dipping into someone else's stash.  i think it was a deliberate plant.

Also, currently drinking all the bourbon.  So if I get rowdy tonight, forgive me.

$130 for eagle rare is a bigger markup than electricity in Texas.

We hardly see any BT brands here, except BT, but I lucked into some Col Taylor single barrel for $69 and picked up three.

@Legume- Now that buy is a steal at twice the price.  Congrats.

Yup. I'm assuming a paid way too much, but I've been looking for it, for 8 months now. Given I'm paying $200 a dinner out here, I figured if I paid a few too many dollars, it won't make much of a difference on the overall tab for this trip. Lol.

I wasn’t around most of July due to vacation, Covid, and my birthday. Having a Crown Royal Blackberry mixed with blueberry lemonade. I ain’t mad at it.

Likely a Luxardo cherry right there.  Two fisted drinking can lead to a dark and stormy evening.  He!! of a post conference vacation.  Going for the Gold and lookin good!
You need to read out to the @The_Buffalo and let him know you are visiting his head, rent free.

the millennium did have a price on it yet..

TechsasJim

@billt01

Just a casual observation, the people that moan the loudest about the price of groceries seem to spend the most on whiskey.

Approximately 18 pours per bottle. Wine only has 4, beer is only 1. Most I’ve spent breaks out to about $22 a pour. That’s MSRP because I won’t pay secondary. I’ve had bottles of wine where the glasses were $100 or more each……it’s all about perspective

I like the observation.   I will say this, I get a helluva lot more enjoyment from a glass of bourbon than I do a slice of bread.
