    Whistle Pig Summer Stock is worth a try. When it came out you were able to get it with a pair of Pit Viper sunglasses that’s why It says Pit viper on the bottle.

    I too would love to purchase the Makers Cellar Age, but I’ve got my limits on what I will pay. When you go into a store, typically what’s your max your willing to pay for most bottles?

    • @BourbonDrop
      @BourbonDrop  Рік тому

      $30 over retail is normally my max. Now when it's something that I just have to get because I've tasted or it's raved about, $50-$60. 🥃

    I own a liquor store in Texas, Cellar aged 50% markup 170$. I’m on both sides of the game, playing games with the distributors is not fun and making it up on allocated bottles is a way to make up for buying junk cases for a few bottles. Don’t pay those silly high prices but if you insist on it please come to my store !!

    MM Cellar Aged for $490 is not worthy. I personally wouldn't pay half that price. These new whiskeys or allocated bottles just aren't worth the mark up price IMO. Yes, it would be nice to own Some of them at retail price, but there are to many other options out there. Great review.

      If you got it for $200 you'd be lucky. I paid $320 cash after negotiation because it was my unicorn and local store. Unfortunately I'm part of the problem but these stores get limited allocation so they try and get what they can. I just won't pay top dollar. Above retail but below secondary is where I look for sought after bottles.

    So much to say… I know a store has the right to sell bottles at whatever they want in an non-state controlled state. But, I consider those stores who markup their prices significantly the same as a bottle flipper. Neither one cares about anything but their pocket getting lined. These store are part of the problem and need to change or lose the privilege of getting those allocated bottles. Reps need to do a better job of helping protect us buyers who truly enjoy what’s in the bottles and not what’s on the labels. I get irritated with this crap… end of rant… 😂
    I started giggling when you grabbed that Sagamore Herbal Liqueur… I was waiting for this to happen. An Italian company bought not too long ago… so I was just waiting for this move. 🤣
    I also poured a glen of Dickle 8 yr just to make sure I still don’t care for it when you said that and…. Yep… still not good. 🤣
    Man, I still want to get my hands on a Mayor Pingree, I just want one so bad for no reason at all… 😂

    Great video my guy! Loved it and those are some nice stores for the most part. I could see myself dropping a lot of money on some bottles I see you have access to that I do not. Take care my friend and enjoy those pours! 🥃
