Nice Store great story , Like the way they take care of the regular customers
Love point system
As a member of the bourbon club for years and a friend to Barbara and Tony, the points system works to reward the loyal customers. You can be a hunter and get upset when you find a bottle at a store nowhere near your home that are set aside for members, OR you can join a store where you live and accumulate points like we all do. Taking care of their regular customers has always been a staple of Robert’s…and always will be.
I love it!
Shit, I wish I could accrue points, but ours are state run so its "first come first serve" and "nobody hides any for their friends"
@markduffy3739 that sounds terrible 😳
@MajorXero at least when I find something, it is very close to msrp. So there is that. I've been watching the stock levels and figuring out timing to get what I want. But still buy stuff off the shelf all the time because you never know when you will find a great bottle you never had before.
we have just about every flavor of store type here from points to secondary
Great store and selection. 🥃
Good job on the store visits.
Thanks
Great video Major! Cheers 🥃
Thanks
Roaming man is really good. Each batch differs alot. They are very transparent with their information on the bottle as well.
Cool that is a little bottle
Good stuff, nice looking store
A rare gem indeed
First video I have seen from your channel and very impressed. I am only an hour away and never knew about that store. Will definitely check it out.
Thanks! We have a strong discord as well to help you hunt! If you go name drop me 😀
@@MajorXero what is the discord channel?
@@MajorXero NM. found it!
I'd love an RY3. Club sounds nice!
I jointhe club today
The ported pumpernickel is quite good and pretty unique. I would recommend giving it a try
it is on the list
When it comes to the Bumbu rum it just depends on what you're looking for. The XO is more of a rum experience where as the regular, is liquid Banana Foster in a glass. Purely a liquid dessert. The reg.is a great one to have around for people who don't usually drink. No easier way to gently introduce them to alcohol. great vid. Cheers
I am looking for a little sipping rum
@@MajorXero I love my Foursquare's But to get started I'd go w/an Appleton Estate12 or if you like it a bit sweeter go w the Diplomatico reserva exclusiva
@djwunwun2899 thanks foenthe advice
Love the video! Wish all the owners were like that. Cheers!
They are definitely one of a kind
It's funny how that Noah's Mill always has its label peeling off like a factory defect.
I bet they don't on purpose
Probably should have got the 13th Sour Mash both Sean and the Baker’s love it. If I ever see one I am grabbing it🥃😎
I grabbed that store pick, if it is there next time I will!
Owner is just flexing on everyone lol
Wow 13th Colony sour mash is great stuff. Reminds me of coco pebbles. Hard to come by nowadays
That is a great tasting notes
@@MajorXero best $38 (x4) I've spent lol. Make sure to pick up one
@jz7974 I will have to get it when I go back
Wow they have everything
I am telling you they are a one stop shop
Great video
Thanks
I keep hearing good things about Barrell, wonder if it's a good cigar pairing.
I am not much of a cigar guy, but on our discord we have channel called bourbon and tobacco where someone could help you
I have the Middle West Pumpernickel Rye it is good. It’s heavy on the port. I like the bourbon finished in the sherry barrel better.
Worth 80?
@@MajorXero yes. Not a penny more. If you can find the cask strength they are off the charts good!
@rrayjay5171 nice
We get all the benchmark in LA I like the full proof 126
Luv willet
And bobs bourbon
You llike Willet Potstill?
nice
Nice video
Thank you! Where are you located?
@@MajorXero Belgium.
@WhiskyLoversSociety We have a discord with some people from Belgium! Glad you are here
Understand not wanting to sell to flippers but hate how stores like this just generalize all "out of towners" who are hunting bourbon. I look for things I can't find in my state run abc stores but I'm buying them to drink
Our state is like the wild west, and we have a ton of people who come and do that. With that being said, we only have a couple that have points or a club. We still have plenty of stores for traveling people to hunt. Join our discord we have lots of city channels to help people hunt!
Hey Adam! I wish my stores in my area would do this points system as they just charge secondary for all allocated bottles 😢. Oh well, thanks for the video!
I bet someone does the point system
What's the difference between buying Weller Full Proof at full secondary than buying a whole bunch of stuff in a point system you really don't want to get a 1/700 chance of buying Weller Full Proof at MSRP? The difference is the liquor store owners make out like bandits in these point system scams. I will pay full secondary all day and know i have my end result.
@@user-si9te2vj8b good question and it depends on your situation. I drink more than just bourbons. Beer. Vodka. Wine. bourbons and even single malts. I buy a lot of alcohol. Even without a points system. So if there was a points system, I would be buying bottles or beer I want to drink AND have the opportunity to buy allocated bottles at msrp.
But it seems you're not as much of a drinker (which is a good thing 😆) and you rather buy one bottle at secondary, which is cool with me.
I would spend money for other things there.
Yeah I hate secondary
Just now seeing the other benchmarks in Knoxville been in north Florida for a while
We still just have Benchmark 8, have you tried them
yes we've tried full proof and single barrel both very good and worth every penny plus@@MajorXero
I agree one of the best values around
Great store !
Love them! Are you close
@@MajorXero I wish , I am a few hundred mile away in North East Kentucky next to the river !
But you are closer to the Distilleries
@@MajorXero They are about 2 to 3 hour drive from here. There are a couple of small start ups opening soon in Southeast Ky but they are still 2 hrs away !
If you get a chance, go to Preservation Distillery. Watch my tasting video they are great
You said you weren't going to go fast, then you went fast! lol. Would have liked to had a closer look at prices.
Yeah, this is the problem with a new store. I get excited. Next time, I will do better. Thanks for the feedback
@@MajorXero All good my friend. As an avid bourb hunter myself (and a budget orientated individual, 3 kids) I just like to absorb all prices/products. Not sure if you're familliar with WI but I've been coming across not the most allocations, but great deals I've seen around anywhere. Never apologize for getting excited. I'm just some schmuck :)
@beeyondsr20det I am glad you are here. We have a growing discord that has different channels with cities and regions you might find some people who can help you find some things you are hunting
Heading to company on Sunday.
Nice! I can't wait.to hear all about it
probably be a video on it @@MajorXero
You better 😀
What year was that 13th colonies sour mash. 2021 heard was aged extra.
Sorry I didn't notice
That store is awesome! I like that philosophy- take care of the people who take care of you! 🥃
Yes, I agree!
Bullshit. If I'm driving through your town and come across this store, just taking my time to come in should mean something. If I was to buy a 6 pack of Bud, am i not contributing to "keeping the lights on?" But if i see a bottle of Weller and ask how much, the owner will tell me to pound sand. Guess what happens to the 6 pack of Bud? It's a dumb philosophy and it only rewards those who are better off than others.
@user-si9te2vj8b lots of other options
@@user-si9te2vj8b And when you drive through town and buy your 6 pack, you can sign up for their club. They didn't say you can't sign up. However, access to allocation bottles is based upon being part of the club as well as volume purchased. I agree with that philosophy. If you don't then that's your opinion. Just like mine is my opinion. We don't have to agree on how they run their business. You can chose not to buy from them. Just like I can chose to support them. That's the beauty of our economy - we have a choice on businesses we support and they can either thrive, change or close up shop. Cheers 🥃
@erinodonovan5459 well said
I found a spot an hour away, they have every unicorn. Unfortunately, they’re all secondary or worse. Bummer
Where?
Liquor world in tullahoma, TN has a unreal selection but everything is secondary prices + extra.
Yeah the price we pay to see things in the shelf
Doesn’t gouge but you have to spend thousands on stuff you don’t want. Just to get a chance at something. But we don’t gouge
It is msrp, and why not support your loyal customers. Are you against points in general?
Yes. Look at it this way. If you have spend or buy so much to get what you want is it worth it. Or just bypass all the unwanted items and buy secondary and get what you want when you want. My point is. Doesn’t matter if you’re buying x amount over the year or paying that day. You’re still not getting it for SRP. But people feel better thinking they’re supporting their store who’s gouging you either way.
All subjective I guess
Plenty of Superbowl bourbon ya??
oh yeah
Interesting video and definitely cool putting a face to the name. I see you in the livestreams of other whiskey tubers. I'll subscribe to your channel 🥃❤️🥃
Thank you! If my math is right you were 4422! Great number
You have to try that bird dog 7 yr
Does aging Bird Dog really help it?
Yeah peep’s! Chop that like!🥃🪓
You need a bung hole cam
I have a Jack single barrel 375 at 133 proof is that a good proof for that
Yeah that is what people are hunting
Is "RY3" not just pronounced RYE? Like the 3 is just a fun way to make the "E"?
To be honest, I don't know, but I will try and find our!
awesome store! have you ever had jura 12 year? how is it?
Just the 10 and it is lightly peated and I love it. I would imagine it is a great as well
Can't watch. Need to see pricing.
Sorry, some stores have the pricing on the top. Some have it on the shelf, and some don't have prices at all. Really don't know till I get there. If you want to know something specific let me know and I will find out next time. Thanks for the feed back
whats a dunker
When the wax from the Maker's Mark touches the label.
Sour mash is good not great. Worth trying but not worth going out of the way for.
Thanks for the heads up
If he can be gotten it goes on the shelf, has a whole cabinet of crap not for sell. Hypocrites
That is great thing about our state you can pretty much charge or not charge what you ever you want. With a store like this you can just by pass it and go to another one
Liquor store owners like that guy are worse than the flippers looking to resell. If they have something sell it. Hoarding it is the reason crap is so hard to find
I disagree supporting your local customers base and charging msrp is way better than some guy buying all the Pappy at msrp and charging 1500 for it. The nice thing is they are not the only game in town. So there are stores that will go straight to secondary with no chance at msrp
What’s the difference in having a display of a rare car collection that is not for sale? There isn’t one. I sense a little jealousy there. Apparently you didn’t pay attention to the video either….its not owned by “that guy” it’s owned by Barbara Graves. 39 year collection of Bourbon and Whiskeys is not hoarding.
@MrCicisguy I agree
@MrCicisguy you don't have somebody coming into your car dealership and not being able to sell any of the cars on display. I have no issue they having a collection. Display it at home, if you display it there then at least offer it for sell. Put such an outrageous price that either nobody will want to buy it or if they do its absolutely makes up for losing it. There is absolutely nothing I own , no matter the value or how sentimental it is that isn't for sell. Want my house, truck, wedding ring, dogs, horses, make me an offer.
Well, to each is own.
This is the second liquor store I've seen, run by a woman with a cabinet of liquor that isn't for sale. You can say what you want you want, but that is horseshit. It's a LIQUOR STORE. If they want to keep them, they should remove them from the STORE.
So it is her store her rules. She does drink them them.
I couldn't disagree with you more. Anyone that has been in business this long, and has PAID for all of the product in her store, with her hard earned money, can do whatever the hell she wants
@MrCicisguy I agree
"Promo SM" 💪
Not sure what that means, but thanks
I would NEVER shop in this store because of their insane allocation rules. Basically they reward people who spend the most money throughout the year. Kind of like rewarding the entitled. Huge problem in this country. This puts the casual shopper out of a chance to buy anything allocated. As a consumer I want to have options and not have to become a slave to one particular store just for the opportunity of buying something. This guy basically said if you're not in the club, don't ask. What a poor business model this is. I know where not to go next time I'm in Tennessee.
Lots of other stores, just about every store has different rules this is why I do hunt videos
@@MajorXero and i love your videos and look forward to them.
Thank you! Hopefully I can find a store that excites you! Where are you located
@@MajorXero I'm in Southern New England. Allocated bottles are not very plentiful in my end of the world. Which is why me and the wife are doing the Kentucky Bourbon trail in June. We might even make the long drive to Lynchburg for the Jack Daniel's experience. It's a place I've always wanted to go to since i was in my 20's.
Agreed
Hillrock horible
If you like potstill not sure I can t trust you 😀
You have to give up your contact information to have a chance to buy Eagle Rare 10 year? It’s not that rare…
It is in our area we rarely see the rare
Talk about a place rewarding the rich. Take ur business elsewhere ppl
I think it is just rewarding loyalty
Dang! They have Coy Hill JD’s 🥲
They have everything you can imagine
