Bourbon Hunting @ Valley Wine & Spirits, Hagerstown, MD. Monthly Allocated Drop. Did We Get Lucky?
Bourbon Hunting in Maryland on our way up to Ohio to attend their Scottish Games & Celtic Festival. That’s an another video you need to watch. This store releases some allocated items once per month. It’s generally a handful of the bottles they save for lotteries. During this trip, I picked up a bottle of Old Forester 1924 since I didn’t have one. Was there something else I should have purchased? Let me know!

I obviously had to wait to after my meetings to head over, but I had a small break where we could just head out for a quick 30 getaway. We ended up being about 25th ...

While in Las Vegas, I headed down to Lee’s Discount Liquor because their online inventory stated there was a Jack Daniel’s 12 Year available.

      Did you declare that many bottles? I read the same thing you did with TSA limits, which is correct, but i also found CBP info stating 1L per person. I’ve also been told that the duty is not bad per extra liter as well…somewhere around $2.5-3/bottle. So maybe not a big deal either way! Thanks for watching and commenting.

    • @barrelmandrinks
      @barrelmandrinks День тому

      The Wifey loves the 1924. OF 1910 is one of her go to’s, but she does like the extra age and smoothness of the 1924. You know, I almost got 1924 when we were visiting Vegas earlier in the year. We missed it by like a week. There was a first drop and some Lee’s stores were still showing in stock, but no inventory once we got to the store. I spoke to one manager and he looked up 1924 and said they had some in their warehouse which he could order for me, but would take a week or so. Unfortunately, we would be out of Vegas by that time so didn’t pull the trigger. I’ve had a lot of good experiences with Lee’s during our LV trips. Just find time to get to know the managers/employees and you’ll find that they’re super willing to help you with your hunts.

      Nice find! If possible, try the Woodford Double Oaked first. It’s about 40% less than the Peerless, but a great sipper. You’ll often see the Woodford Double Oaked as store picks which brings other flavor profiles. I just got a Woodford store pick and it’s so close to the Peerless Double Oak. I hope you enjoy it!

If you want a great bourbon from Bevmo, try their Russell’s store picks. I just picked up two different rickhouses (A & B) that they picked and they’re so good if you like em somewhat fruity and sweet. That’s if you like Russell’s or WT of course.

      Thanks for watching! I don’t think so. This was the first time I’ve seen EHT SiB in the wild and not at secondary. Lee’s has been decent with getting drops of allocated bourbons. When we were in LV a couple months ago, I visited a Lee’s Discount Liquor up north. Maybe Aliante, but in that area, and the guy there mentioned that they had a drop of George T Stagg at their store. He even showed me the manifest for that delivery to their store. I was hunting Old Forester 1924 that month and some stores showed inventory, but that’s when I learned that you should call before driving over.

  • @heisenbergguy7772

    You need more lighting to show your wall more. You got a lot of generic bottles. Buy high end bourbons like George T. Stagg, WhistlePig Boss Hog, Garrison Brothers “The Cowboy”, Elijah Craig 18, and Jack Daniels Sinatra, just to name a few. Stick those in the center of where you two sit. Now you have something to be proud of. Your studio is too depressing. Buy some high end decanters from Waterford or Baccarat and put it on either side of you. Hire yourself a consultant to re-do your studio. What’s with Hobo ghetto clothing? Wear something decent! You both need a make over.
