Man.. I wish there were more owners like this! So refreshing seeing a guy that enjoys it and understands the regular guy trying to enjoy bourbon
Couldn't agree more! 🥃
He's the best
By regular guy, you mean UA-camrs who will travel to get any allocated bourbon to a region in order to get some clicks on social media. The bourbon market has been manipulated by unethical business practices, creative marketing, and people willing to make risky investments on unregulated aftermarkets to make a quick buck. Notice how the allocated stuff never wins blind tastings, it's all marketing and consumer manipulation.
Hunter... I was at this store on Monday and bought 6 bottles. all are great and I did the $5 deal..Thanks to Chris for taking the time to walk me through the series of those awesome barrel picks keep up the good work Hunter!
Cheers! 🥃
That owner is awesome. Very informative.
Sure is! Thank you for watching!
That's a GREAT owner. Wish there were more like him..
Heck yeah!
We go to Folly Beach every year with family. It was after last year's trip that UA-cam started recommending your videos to me. We just planned our trip for this year and I had just started my hunting list! Perfect timing!
😁🥃 Im happy the algo brought you here!
This was a great video. Glad I stumbled across your channel. Subscribed!
Awesome! Thank you!
Man, one of the coolest store owners I have seen in a video.
I can vouch for that Old Soul Tintype #2, that stuff is legit. What a great store owner. I will make sure I check him out the next time I am down that way. I honestly want to buy that Rare Character after hearing him tell the story behind it and compare it to the Parker's Heritage Single Malt. Great video, Hunter!
Thank you Trey! The JEDI!
That Tumbling Dice 7 yr rye on top of the allocation cabinet would have been worth grabbing depending on price.
Also was surprised at the amount of old label High West rendezvous rye on the non allocated shelf. Definitely keep a eye out for the 2017 or older bottles. First two digits are the year.
Good call! I’ll take a look next time im there
Yeah the Penelope 9 is a great bottle but some palates are just different. I’ve found I’m not a double oak guy I had the Sagamore DO and the OF 1910 and they were eeh. I do like the MM 46 cask though. Now both opened up as I drank them so would I buy again probably.
Nice! Yeah i like the Sagamore DO but some double oakes arnt that great!
I have a bottle of barrel 10 yr anniversary bottle. Amazing wish I had 5 bottles of it
Darn right! I wish I could get one!
The Penelope hate hurts my heart🥹 15 year was top three for me this year. BUT we all have different palates and at the end of the day it’s an opinion. People get so butt hurt if you don’t like EXACTLY what they like haha. As always great video brother. Cheers 🥃
👀🥃
Did this dude just leave a purple top wheat in that case?
$33 for OGD114?! That’s $19.99 all day in Wi
Yupp! Prices are always a little diff from state to state. If I was you i’d be stocking up!
I think they even took it off allocation here.@@Bourbon_Hunter
wondering if they can legally use those stickers. I would think those images are copywrited?
We don’y follow the law round these parts partner
@@Bourbon_Hunter they all say that until the fines start
That store had a great collection of bourbon and tequila. Really, a Tequila honey hole.
You got that right!
Where is this place?
Seven Star Liquors on Folly Road in Charleston SC.
915 Folly Rd K2, Charleston, SC 29412
Hate to hear 99.9% of the allocated stuff goes to a resort. But hey the guy has a business to run! They probably buy thousands of $$ worth of the easy to find stuff too.
He has allocated drops every now and then too
Gives all his good stuff to a private golf club, cool will never shop there
I would buy a bottle I didn’t want just because it had a lego army man waxed to the top.
Haha! Worth every penny 😂
Wow! The large availability of Rare Character's shocking. Owner is spot on.... those sell out in hours - IF you're lucky enough to find one. Great post!
Oh wow!
Amazing picks but better owner. Great that he spent so much time explaining his picks
For sure! Thank you for watching!
Very transparent owner, appreciate that interview. Great store picks 👍
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching! 🥃
The creativity on the themes/labels for these store picks is awesome! Love that they are doing something fun with them and not taking themselves too seriously
I agree sometimes I give into a good tater sticker
I miss the days when Fortaleza was just sitting on the shelf at $50 and no one knew what it was. Then a TikTok'er spilled the beans about it in a viral video.
I’m a tequila guy, just getting into bourbon. That Fortaleza was way overpriced.
That is one good salesman, heck he'd make old crow sound great!😂
Haha! Old Crow is a TOUGH sale 😂🥃
No. He's too honest for that
I don't get it. Did the store put the barbie stickers on the buffalo trace?
That store owner is awesome! Here in NC most of our stores are lousy because they’re state owned and operated and most (with a few exceptions) of the folks working in them could care less if you buy something or not. Plus the selection there is amazing from what I’m used to seeing.
Oh wow! Thank you for watching tho!
State owned liquor stores! How does that work?
Idaho is the same way..basically Idaho as a state is a “store” so we get store picks which are actually state picks chosen by the state reps and we are very fortunate when we get allocated stuff it’s at or very close to msrp with very little tax (blantons $64 eagle rare 35 buffalo trace 25 pappy 23yr 299) almost everything gets evenly distributed to every store and the manager puts out one of each allocated bottles at their own discretion so you might see a weller full proof 1 time in 2 weeks if they get a case of 6 them for the pappys and btac there is a state lottery any Idaho resident can put in for for free and if you win you buy the bottle that you selected at msrp all btac are $99
Here we Go on the Penelope! I’m here to tell you the 9 year will change your mind. Toasted is also Great! Cheers Hunter, everyone has their own palate.
Cheers! Haha! Penelope hate is justified around these parts
@@Bourbon_Hunter Really Enjoy your Bourbon Hunts! Keep up the Great Work! Been a Sub since the Beginning! Nice to see the success you are having while enjoying what you do!
The store manager/owner has a great voice.
You didn’t know it but this is a ASMR video
Thank you
One of my favorite videos you’ve done. Those store picks were super cool, and the conversation was fun to listen to. Nice work!
Awesome, thank you! 🥃
Buffalo Trace is average, I really dont get the rage. There are way better bottles for the money.
The bourbon allocations have gotten too crazy. I wish we can just buy manufacturer direct.
That would be crazy too! Think of all the people that would set up “bots” to buy anything that dropped online
Fortaleza blanco should be between 45-50 MSRP
Umm....it was never that cheap. And your lucky to find it these days at any price.
Should I have bought it for $99?
You know an owners not trying to sell you something when they begin a sentence with “honestly…”
Haha! Salesmen will be salesmen you know honestly…
Corazon is made by Casa San Matias distillery, which doesn't use additives. The owner means Tequila Matchmaker hasn't "certified" it as "additive free," but that doesn't mean every brand that doesn't pay to belong to the TMM program & go through its testing uses additives. Corazon does a lot with barrel aging using barrels from Sazerac brands including Blanton's, Buffalo Trace, & Weller (some tequila fans think their aged expressions are too barrel influenced, but that isn't a universally held opinion).
Amazing cool owner. Fortaleza is about $65 msrp for the Blanco. I just paid $200 for a bottle.
Geeesh!!! I love the cork on the bottle tho for sure
Hey B Hunter...
Coming up to SC from the Bahamas where is best place to find a fair priced JD 10/12 ORR A KC 12 ANY help appreciated
How can you not like bulleit? It's not at all complex, but it's completely inoffensive. Perfect for cocktails.
I want a store like that in my neighborhood. Couple good ones in Dallas Metroplex, but nothing super close. Guess finding good bourbon ain't for the faint of heart!
Fortaleza is way too high there but it’s a great bottle when you can find it. I love these store picks and wish more stores could do them.
Heck yeah! I need to find one thats a little more in my price range! Thank you for watching! 🥃
$70 here in WI. Wasn't a $50 not too long ago?
Would buy that Fort for sure
@@TheUMIA I got mine for $60 I think but like everything else I guess the price is going up
$60-$65 is about right.
Man I’d buy so much with just the unique additions to the bottles.
Thank you for watching!
Is the Barrell Rye all MGP or a blend? Also the store owner is a master marketer, it’s genius of him to manipulate the taters out there, I’m sure he’s well off and rightfully so.
I wish we had stores and owners like this in Ohio. 🤘
But Ohio has Weller 👀🥃
Odd that they wax dip their picks. Kind of cool, kind of out there!
Tater stickers everywhere!
I really like this guy. He is very knowledgeable of the products he carries....go back to him!
Heck yeah!
If I come by would you be down for a pour? We can listen to some reggae!
hey he was super cool. loved that he just chatted. That is a store I wish was near me, I would go in all the time. Great hunt. cheers
Thanks for watching! Cheers! 🙏🏼🥃
This title seems silly. Not sure why you wouldn’t give the owner props here for talking with you for that long rather than a stupid title about tater wax.
He mentioned it helps the bottles sell when he wax’s them
@@Bourbon_Hunterone of my favorite liquor stores waxes some of their store pick bottles. Kind of cool, but I’ve only bought one.
7 star liquor store sound like they have a great owner, cool vibes
shoulda grabbed that American Light 15
Not just a great owner, but a very knowledgeable man, who was generous with his time. Yes, it is a two way streak, but that guy is doing just fine for several reasons.
Not really that much of a bourbon drinker, and paying out of state tuition to U of SC for another five and a half years for my daughter, so I am watching what I spend, but I will definitely be checking out some of these liquor stores in South Carolina my next visit,
As a graduate of U of SC you’re a great parent!
I need a store with an owner who actually cares here in northern Colorado. This guy was awesome. One of the best videos yet.
Im glad you think so! 🥃
Try Hover Crossing Wine and Spirits in Longmont Colorado if you're near there. One of the owners or maybe he's just the whiskey expert knows a lot and doesn't hold back or mark up allocated bottles. They also do whiskey tastings on Fridays between 4 and 6.
Good additive free tequilas include: ArteNOM, Fortaleza, Tequila Ocho, El Tesoro (they have special editions with Knob Creek & Laphroaig, which is even shown briefly in the video), Siete Leguas, Mijenta, Lagrimas Del Valle, Don Fulano, Cascahuin, Cazcanes, El Tequileno.
As a bourbon & whiskey fan, I bet you'd most like Añejo & Extra Añejo due to the much more pronounced barrel influences & the fact that ex-bourbon barrels are often used.
Corazon is a good tequila brand & the distillery, Casa San Matias, doesn't use additives. A lot of Corazon store picks age in Sazerac-owned whisky barrels.
Good Añejos & Extra Añejos include those by El Tesoro & Tequila Ocho.
I kinda like buy two get the Btac for $6
Why can’t I have a store and owner like this near me?
Haha when he asked you if you like MGP… I literally said this is all my guy picks out as his fav’s! Redwood, widow Jane, Remus… but for some reason… even tho everyone likes Penelope… you turn your nose up to the WHOLE line :)
🤫 you’re not supposed to say that out loud
@@Bourbon_Hunter no worries, your secret is safe with me. Really nice store though. And really enjoy hearing what the owner had to say about the industry… lemme thumbs up this real quick!
How did you not ask him who hand dipped some of his store picks with wax like Maker's Mark but with pastel colors? What a gimmick. If I saw this - and this is the only store where I have ever seen this - I would shake my head and pass. Gimmick to increase sales backfired on me.
I think he dips them for fun with his son and stuff. Small family store so as long as he’s having a good time and it doesnt cost us any extra I don’t see a problem with it 🥃
How much for the cigar blend?
Hunter, pick up a Penelope 4 grain BP. That got me hooked. Architect is hit and miss. I'm also not a fan of anything toasted.
I may have to sample one!
Dang I need that Rare Character wish they were able to 🚢
10,000 subs coming! You gonna buy a Pappy 10 and crack it to celebrate?
Haha I wish we had the cash flow to do that! Not sure what im going to do
Store owner knows his stuff even our local spots who precure more of what they want our just clueless, but i also live in California where we know weed better then liqour lol. Though we do sell bourbon surprisingly cheap when i can find good bottles compared to other parts. Bout the onlything cheaper in this shithole state.
Cali has great prices but… you gotta live in Cali lol!
I really get used car salesmen from that store guy
That’s exactly it. Going to such a place with great store picks! The first two picks shown of the Barrell Rye and the Bulleit are musts. Then with this guys logic you get the bonus hilarious BT bottle. I wish they shipped. The Bulleit bottle is over the top for a gift haha. Another great video!
Thank you! I appreciate you watching!
I've had other owners say that they are not required to purchase distributors "garbage" to get the allocated stuff. So which is it?
Its both. Either product acquisition or monthly revenue
You didn’t like Penelope toasted - non barrel strength. My 5 yr 100 proof is s’mores in a bottle.
Smores in a bottle sounds good maybe i’ll revisit it or something
Nice guy, but Looks like they ruined a bunch of bottles 😂
Lol!
The Penelope 9 year is one of the best bottles for the price, I guarantee you'd like it
Penelope is just not my jam sadly
Wonder if Maker's would allow an all-slam-dunk storepick
That would be soooo cool!
Wow. Altering bulleit packaging.. seems wrong
If you drink enough of it you could play legos tho 🪖
Also that Fortaleza is an unobtanium bottle in other parts of the country.
Maybe i’ll go back and buy one
owner is cool guy
THAT SELECCIONE SUPREME IS A GREAT BOTTLE WORTH THE PRICE @ BOURBON HUNTER it was by the g4
Im a simple man. I like Dickel. Buffalo trace, 4 roses.
4 Roses is my jam!
Great hunt video. Nice owner and some great selections and store picks.
Glad you enjoyed! I appreciate you watching!
Being a control state sucks so much. The Ohio picks are few and far between and a minimum of $80 when you can find them.
Yikesss!! But at least you have weller! 😁
@@Bourbon_Hunter I have managed to get a Weller SR and a couple bottles of BT (which I immediately decided was not worth the effort lol). Everything else is gotten by the retirees with no life who get in line at 4am on weekdays
If you must add water to bourbon, use limestone water.
I agree!
he is annoying
lol "im running a business not a charity" facts by him
When he said that I was like you know what you’re right 😂
Hi can Chris ship?? Another great video!
Unfortunately its against the law in SC to ship.
Been to Foley Beach. I’ll deff have to check that store out if I’m back down there. Got pulled over and harassed by North Ashley Police last time so idk.
I was not aware about Belle Meade , what’s the deal with it ?
They stopped all distribution to states. Its a Distillery only release now
Yes
That’s about 2x Msrp on the Forteleza
Gottcha!
I’d definitely support this store if I was local. Great owner and sounds like some amazing picks!
Tequila ocho reposado is awesome and would love that BT
Great! I’ll check it out!
Tequila ocho repo aged in Widow Jane barrels is tasty.
The Corazon is amazing and I don’t like Tequila
Good to know!
Go additive free. Think me later.
I second that. For an affordable, great everyday tequila, Corazon is a great place to start. 😊@@Bourbon_Hunter
Favorite tequilas Ive tried and have tried alot. Below are additive free and taste amazing highly recommend.
1. El tesoro Anejo (overall favorite)
2. Tequila ocho
3. Don Fulano Repo or Anejo both fantastic
I have posted it in your Discord before, but when it comes to Tequila it's exceptionally hard to beat Lalo with the son of Don Julia heading up the business.
I don't care what label it carries; Buffalo Trace is gutter juice.
What if I have a gutter guard?
My gutter juice guard is, drinking about 4 fingers of something decent. After that, it's all decent.
@@Bourbon_Hunter
Is it hard to find allocated stuff at stores near resorts in South Carolina because of the class b stuff?
Oh yeah!
@@Bourbon_Hunter interesting. It’s so different here.
Great video, as always. Cool owner but I’d never buy a bottle with those stupid pictures on it. To corny.
Fair enough 🥃 Thank you for watching!
@@Bourbon_Hunter question for you. I’ve seen you buy some amazing bottles. How about BTAC? Ever find and buy some out in the wild outside of a lottery?
I got a Van Winkle 12 Lot B for $130 in December and added it to my top 5 of 2023 video!
Belle Meade is STILL in production, just can't get the label outside of Tennessee. Outside of Tennessee it's labeled as Nelson Brothers.
Chris is awesome! I’m definitely visiting his store when I come visit my daughter!
You should!
That barrel rye is stupid good
I just had a pour of it and I agree wow!
This guy said most of his commercial business is to Kiawah Island, so I'm guessing his hard work and enthusiasm have really paid off.
That's why in my collection I only collect single barrel Buffalo Trace because you can either get a good one or the same as all the other ones most of the time you're getting a really good one relaying on people's judgment hopefully lol
G4 Blanco is an additive free tequila that stands side by side with Fortaleza!!! Amazing stuff
Insane to see fortalaza on the shelf like that. We never get it in Georgia. I worked at the biggest store in Augusta and the two years I worked we got 1 silver and 1 anejo. Stopped back in last week and saw the rep who gets it and asked for one and he only laughed said he wished he could get it in.
Headed down to Seabrook Island in a few weeks. What is a good liquor store to do some hunting nearby?
