Loved your ending, that was hilarious!
My wife thought I bought it and was like what!?!?!?!,!
Am I the only who noticed he dropped the paper bag at the end and let it blow away ? 😅
I promise I picked it up no littering here
Cheers always fun and interesting shows!!! Fun pickup of the Smoke Wagon cool bottle and fun bourbon 🥃. Cheers to you and your wife! We will loosen her up on the needed acquisitions!!!
She said doubtful
@@MajorXero 🤣
@@MajorXero A man that enjoys the fine craft of good neat whiskey… is a good man.
Just trying to spread the gospel
@@MajorXero That’s my type of evangelism!
Literally 100% of those prices are terrible. There wasn't a single "good" bottle on any of those shelves at a reasonable price. I'm in IL, so maybe it's just down to distribution, but that whole place seems 20%+ high across the board.
Yeah but to find GT Stagg in the middle of nowhere is pretty cool
@@MajorXero - It's true! It's fun to find unicorn bottles for sure. Was just shocked that everything in there was overpriced. To be honest, $1500 for that bottle in a retail store isn't the worst offender as far as prices at that place.
@zacharyhomrighaus5689 awesome
I agree. Prices are terrible. Sad thing is total wine is going to move in town and decimate everything. I'm happy that I've never had to pay secondary.
@geno816 no Total wine here
It is crazy to me that a store can charge more than secondary for bottles.
🤦
They were out in the middle of nowhere Tennessee, in a lawless one horse town
Why is it crazy? It’s their property. Unless you want to live in a control state where all the product goes to officials, bars, and a small amount to lottery. Plus all these liquor stores have to buy a ton of product to even gets these bottles.
@Maverick-uf1sz I see al lot of these with a high price but if the right person comes in with cash the price always changes
I died laughing when he said gross😂😂
Some like it some hate when I say. Just trying tonwarn the world 😀
passing over the JD BP Rye with no mention of it?!
Was too excited about the Stagg
The prices in that store are obscene.
Well they are in the middle of nowhere, so they can charge what they want
That Old Elk Double Wheat is great. Smooth peach cobbler in a glass. Would recommend, if you find in the 90’s. One of my favorite wheaters
Nice
You know what you really need to get a hold of is Dettling! So amazingly good
I haveseen one lately
Nice to see those JD Barrel Proof ryes on the shelf! I always check the proof on those to see if there’s any 130+. Amazing shelf find of GTS.
I will start to check myself
I was at that location in late June, and those bottles were collecting dust back then, too. I took a picture of it. 😂
Great minds
I saw a George T. Stagg in NY last week for two grand! These stores are ridiculous.
Sadly or gladly how ever you look at it
For people with more money than common sense.
@bdwilcox love it! I want to be.one of those people 😀
Thank you, I think you are the first person so really sayy what I am doing. I am a hunter and report of liquor. Nothing more or less
@DerrickMarkleymusic I will!
Cheers
I love the Smoke Wagon bourbons! I grabbed a different version of a Halloween bottle, maybe last years. Nice Hunt!
I will crack this closer to Halloween, it is my first smoke wagon
@@MajorXero it’s delicious in my opinion. The uncut unfiltered is damn good too! Enjoy!
@deanmichelini9132 I couldn't pass up the price or the bottle it really does glow 💀
Some ridiculous prices
True, but it is probably why they have them
@@MajorXero yeah its unfortunate how much some places charge for these bottles.
The nice thing is we get to see them
I almost hit the floor when she said $200 for the Remus
We rarely see Remus here. How much is it where you are located?
@@MajorXero $100. Opened mine two weeks ago. Meh.
I have heard good things about it. Where you located?
@@MajorXero Charlotte area. Mine just tasted lite and thin on flavor and body. Was really disappointed bc I had been hunting it too for a while. Paid $105 for it
Nice
1500 🤣 it can't be that good.
Maybe, know anyone who has tried it?
It's part hype and part scarcity. I had a pour for $25 and I thought it had a lot of flavor and was really complex but it felt like trying to finish a shot glass of battery acid. Not a beginner whiskey, very hot. I'm glad I tried it at the right price but I honestly wouldn't even want a whole bottle. I think a lot of people drinking straight up hazmat whiskey are so into the hype, they convince themselves it's angel tears
@jimsweet4718 🤣 I love thw hot stuff myself, but I firmly believe you should drink it the way you want and what you like. Well except when Matt from Whiskey Business uses a straw, I mean come on be a man
only 1400 over sticker. lmfao
A steal and a bargain
I have been trying to find that Ole Smokey Key Lime Pie in Florida. I was told they only sell it the in the distillery stores. I see it in all of your videos.
I am surprised they don't have it there, of course this is made in Tennessee so we are the home territory
Do a “what I picked up on vacation video” 🍻
I plan too!!
Awesome! Looks like you had a good trip.
@treeemup fun so far
Every price is a poaching, what a disgrace of a hole in the wall liquor store. Prime example of what the Bourbon Market has turned into. collectors not drinkers.
Yeah, it seems like a trade off, if they have to bottles, they are too expensive, and if they don't you can't see them
I miss the days when BTAC's and Pappy just sat on the shelves at retail. The most I paid for any BTAC was $85 for WLW in 2010.
I would love to just get a pour of each. Now they are stupid crazy expensive
I said the same about Heaven Hill at $75! Ridiculous as it's $45-$50 around me. Same when she said $120 for EH Taylor Small Batch! That's $50-$55 around me when I get it! 😬 BT is a great distillery, but definitely not worth much over MSRP
Unfortunately someone will pay that
@@MajorXero no lies there!
Honestly what would you pay for it?
@@MajorXero honestly as far as heaven hill, I wouldn't go over MSRP. BT depending on the release I'm not opposed to maybe $20 over but that's just me. There are so many hidden gems that just sit on shelfs because of how easy they are to get (I get it, for some the thrill of the chase is worth the money they pay lol). On the other hand, I have also found bottles running around $70+ that I felt were nowhere near that good lol
Daddy Stagg!!!
Love it
Dude you littered…..I hope you got that bag…heheh
I did but did I get you?
About 45 mins south of here on 53, R&R liquor. OGD114 around $45. Two last time I was in. I rarely have issues finding it there.
I will get it some day
@@MajorXero early 2023 in Wisconsin they took OGD114 off the allocated list I think and now it's everywhere for around $20.
@Despite37 nice, maybe they will do that here soon
Finding it is one thing, paying MSRP is another thing entirely! haha!
Story of my life 🙃
McKenna @70 is on target? Sheeeeeeesh
Pretty sure it is that price every where
My place has a huge bottle of Wild Turkey 101 for $37 at my package store, and this is Mass.. $57.99 is crazy. Some of those prices are crazy.
Pretty standard here
Hah, just posted on the same thing.. MA has great prices on some stuff w the no sales tax, esp the allocated stuff. Some are high. Do you know where in Western MA to get OGD Bonded at best price. Only looked online & lowest I found is $24/1L, but the place is kinda far away in central MA. Thanks!
@motohead077 ha we just got OGD 114 here and it is great still allocated here
I want that Holladay soft red wheat!
Yeah I almost grabbed it
Frank August that was next to the blade and bow is worth picking up.
Little out of my price range
3:28 People are going nuts for the JD SiBBP Rye. looks like they had two there.
Yeah
Agreed, skipped right over the JD SiBBP’s. Great bottles and usually reasonably priced.
@25SeanJ yeah missed it
🤣🥃
WARNING! DO NOT BUY ANYTHING AT THIS STORE, unless you hate money. This is a rip-off store. $58 for Wild Turkey 1.75L!! Just bought a bunch in March 2024 for $29.99. From east coast to west coast, highest I've that is $41.95 total price.
May be paying for location
You think willet is gross, but you buy jack Daniel's honey....lol...hilarious
I bought the JD Honey mainly for a mixer in Hoddy Toddies . And it will last me a lifetime. And yes, Willet Potstill is gross.
@@MajorXero I'm just busting your balls...lol. Thats the amazing thing about bourbon everyones taste is different. Keep up the great videos👍
@davidscialabba6884 I took no offense and thought it was funny too!!
1500 bucks is a bit out of my price range too
If they had more, I would have asked for a case price
I couldn't find your email.
You have to go to the about page on a computer
@MajorXero ok. I was looking on my phone
Damn, George T Stagg sells for $999 to $1500 here in LA.
About what I have seen in these parts
It's not that hard to find GTS or other Btacs, it's the museum pricing. BT should require distributors to tell stores getting btac they have to sell them through a raffle systems for msrp, or risk not getting btac anymore. It's BS.
Would be great to live in that world!
One day I’ll own a George T. Stagg and a WLW. 😅 my wallet might hate me but it’ll happen
Invite me over so I can just watch you drink it!
@@MajorXero 😆😆 nah I’d share
@TheMashBrothers Then count me in
Yikes. Heaven Hill 7 Year BIB for $75? $50 bottle that my liquor store had for $40 2 weeks ago. Giving up on OGD 114 in your videos. When they are in your videos, you do not acknowledge or buy them. 🤣 (I picked up the Smoke Wagon glow in the dark for my wife to add to the Halloween decorations)
That HH bottle is $42 near me. Not bad, but $75 is ridiculous.
@sobohobo12123 yeah I think it is cheaper near Memphis
I found Heaven Hill for $40 at Costco in Cali a few months ago. They had a few dozen bottles of it.
@konkeydonged let me know what you think
That HH BiB price tag was what let me know this store wasn’t going to be the one.
Working your way back behind the counter again! 🤣 That GTS was a great find, maybe not the best price but it is lower than most I’ve seen. I would have had a mental debate for a while since that would have been one of the only times I might come across it. In the moment I’m pretty weak. Glad you showed some refrain! My heart dropped for a moment when I saw the bag outside the store. I was like uh-oh… 😮. That was a great video! Take care and enjoy those pours! 🥃
Nah man secondary on GTS is like 900-950. 1500 is just for the suckers that walk in and don't know any better
My wife would have killed me if I got that bottle
If you can afford 950 for a bottle, 1500 isn't going to stop you from getting it
You've never used secondary market obviously 😂😂😂😂 you can have gts 2023 sent to your house for 900-950 every single day of the week man. That's the going rate currently. If you aren't using secondary market, but you're having a hard time contemplating 1500 for it in some BF store , idk what to tell you.
@@jareddukes1810and for the suckers that claim they would never do secondary market transactions and yet they're willing to drop 1500+ in a some god forsaken store in the middle of nowhere. Lol doesn't get much more counterintuitive than that does it
Only 10 times the max id go for a gts lol. The clermont steep (one you said might be red winter wheat) is jim beams new single malt. Heard its not great.
Thanks for the heads up
Can confirm... not great on the clermont steep!
@TroyfromBakerDrinks Glad I was not sucked into the slick packaging
wow, those are some high prices...i can get almost all the stuff i saw for around 10-15% less in FL..
Example: Seagrass Rye can be found nearly anywhere here for 79.99 not 94.99....and that Four Roses special select can be found for 55.99 almost anywhere not 68.99$!!
I thought whiskey would be cheaper in Tennessee or Kentucky
This store is the only thing in town so they cab charge what they want
@@MajorXero well, that makes sense...they did have a very large selection which is nice..
Yeah you never know with small towns
@@MajorXero now i feel lucky ...i got a bottle of Barrell Bourbon batch #34 for 55$ + tax the other day ...
Nice Barrel is pretty high here
There is George T. Stagg in my store right now at this very moment, but its like 1500$.
Man they are highly everywhere
Truly who walks into stores like this and drops $1500 on Stagg? I get it if celebrities are buying it but dang
Probably could have offered 1250 and they would have taken it
@@MajorXero probably but I’d offer $300
@codyburgess7034 never know, you don't ask you don't get
A lot of bourbon museums where I’m at, I see BTAC and pappy all over the place for thousands. If you’re patient enough our local supermarkets have these bottles once or twice a year for msrp.
@xgonnagiveit where are you located?
I bought a bottle of George T Stagg in 2018 for $350 and now I wish I would have bought more. I still have it, unopened. They are non existent anymore in California and if you do find one it’s $1800-$2500
Do you think you will ever drink it or just let its value grow?
More than likely just let it grow in value
Yeah trade it for a car or a super nice vacation
I feel much better now about spending $699 for a bottle of 2023 today at the local store! Next to it they had WLW for $1400 and the Sazerac rye for $599.
Whoa where are you located?
JD honey goes great mixed with sweet tea, lemonade, or the Arnold Palmer as you might guess
I do need lots of recipes especially for cold weather
@@MajorXero winter time I'd probably just drink it neat or if you're into hot toddy's. Otherwise I've mostly had it as a spring summer choice
I am sure I will still have in the summer
George t is very where around here,you just have to be ruck to get any of it
Where or rare?
@MajorXero there in most liquor stores around louisville, but there very expensive!
@anthonymattingly698 yeah I rarely get to see them here
the sweetens cove Kennessee is a blend of Tennessee whiskey and Kentucky bourbon, its suppose to be play on the rivalry between the Tennessee and Kentucky. its not good...basically it sucks
Ha can't be mixing the states
damn peyton manning@@MajorXero
That store is over priced 😢
What would you pay for it
Man hell of a price gouge! And thats in Tennessee! Wow smh but great video!
Remember, this was in the middle of nowhere too
900 in LA for the GTS
It's cheaper in LA than in the middle of no where TN
3:20
Gross
Get the hell out of there 1500 FOR GT Stagg.
and it was in the middle of nowhere Tennessee
Can you ever really have too much bourbon? lol yea GT Stagg lil pricey for sure. cheers
My wife seems to think you can
Wow! That store has some high mark ups on allocated bourbons. Look elsewhere!
We were traveling and just happened upon it. Not my.local go to store
@@MajorXero nothing wrong with being out on the bourbon hunt!
I hunt to live!!
Those prices are crazy i payed 145$ for the stagg 1500 id get rid of mine right now 😂
Btac should be dropping soon and we can compare prices foe this year
I don't really drink whisky but my father does and he recommends Anything from Highland Park scotch whisky
Always trust your father
Listen to your dad.
Always
$120 for eh Taylor lol 5:17
This store was in the middle of no where so they probably charge whT ever they want
YES!!! Willet pot still is Gross!!!
Always!!!!
So edgy calling Willett Pot Still gross. What’s gross are the prices.
Never considered 🤔 myself edgey, thank you for rhat
MSRP $125 for George T Stag $1500!!!!😢
Not msrp here, never seen it less than 800
@@MajorXerofound at a Kroger in Lexington Kentucky for $124.99 a month ago.
@ronbpenn whoa, never seen that before
I just subscribed to your channel, I met you last night at the event. I was at table two with you guys.
Awesome! Glad you are hear. You should join the discord
you huntin old Grand dad?

pretty easy to get over here BIB and 114@@MajorXero
rare as hen's teeth here in West TN
Guessing your a truck driver
Nope was on vacation this week, most parking g lots wouldn't fit a truck
@@MajorXero haha.. was thinking man he’s getting around and what a good idea that’d be if the case 🤣 happy picking bro! Cheers
@weslegna no but that would be a good ide for a truck driver!
Those are some horrible prices
Well, you have to take into account where it is and what the market will bear. Someone out there will buy it someday.
Eagle Rare 1.75l for 59.99 is a great deal
That is a monster deal, but a pain to store
👍
And at 1500 that bottle will be there for awhile. Wow and again it doesn’t help the people that made it. They certainly didn’t pay that for it.
Yeah maybe
crazy that I guessed it right on the nose@@MajorXero
@RJtheFED yeah I am guessing it is cheaper by the case
@MajorXero George T Stagg msrp per bottle is actually $100 but because of how limited it is and it being allocated you will always see it above $700 I've seen as high as $2000
@RJtheFED whoa should have gotten
I just picked up a bottle of GTS for $155.
Amazing where?
Wat.... 😮
😀
I've had Stagg Jr & GTS in the same sitting... Not a huge difference and GTS is definitely not worth the $$, just buy Stagg Jr for a fraction of the price
I would love a pour some day
gts is 850/900 on secondary. They can keep it lol
I do want to at least try it someday
@@MajorXero I've tried a few gts at bars. You'll love it.
some day
Never let me down , great great bourbon . Best to drink it at a bar if you can find for a good price.
Should be dropping here Friday
Get ready for numb lips, 🤩
Ummm ok
@@MajorXero you fooled me, lol!
Thought ya got the Stagg 😜
You want OGD 114 or OGD hmu
Can't get 114 here

This video gets a thumb down for highly recommending to people that they go there to buy liquor. Based on this video, don't think I'm going to watch anything else because clearly you can't be trusted. You should have done this as a warning video to fellow whiskey lovers to not ever go here.
This was early on in my hunting career. I was just excited to see one and for it to be in the. Middle of nowhere too. I just report what I find. If me showing this helps you to make up your mind on whether to go or not go to a store I feel like I have accomplished my goal. Thanks for the feedback and happy hunting
Yikes.
yikes good, or yikes bad?
Did you liter
I picked up my bag 😝
