Both Store Manager were very nice however... One was reasonably pricing allocated bottles and the other was sometimes double or tripple MSRP! They are only 5 minutes apart. I know which store I would frequent!

Benchmark Full Proof is criminally underrated
Its such a good bottle I agree!
You are at a museum.
Yeah. Archaic.
@Bourbon_Hunter I almost wonder how long those type of shops hold those bottles before they drop there price to sell them. Any person hunting hard to find bourbon knows retail price so who is paying those prices I say no one.
A stupid rich person who doesn't want to keep looking@@thomascrompton7775
@@thomascrompton7775 A lot of those kind of places buy on secondary and resell above. They're content to let it sit on the shelves until some idiot walks in and pays it.
I assume having bottles like that, that people are not likely to pay the price for, bring feet to the door.
I’m a 1792 fan! Finding those three bottles together was a miracle! I would like to have a case of each!😂
I dropped big money there! Now I don’t have to worry about finding anymore for the rest of the year! 😂
@@Bourbon_Hunterhow did they taste ? What were the differences in flavor etc ? Never seen three 1792 store picks like that
To be honest, that guy seems to be the most genuine and legit seller since Ive been followed you. Cheers from 🇸🇪
Great stores. Good finds for you. I really like your videos as easy to see the bottles and the prices. Keep up the good work.
Thank you! Will do!
That 2nd store was great!! I'm in jax fl area, I cross the border into Georgia occasionally. Really sweet how they get those drops. I try to track that stuff, most of it trickles south for us. Great video. Cheers
Thank you for watching! I had some good luck down in Jax myself!
Billy always does a great job taking care of his clients! Great video with some great finds.
Thank you watching! I hope people go support him!
Loved seeing that lineup of 1792. I heard Pooler Package is another great store in that area. Would love to swing by Randall’s the next time I’m down that way. Cheers!
Pooler package and Randalls are about 25-30 min apart its a great little part of GA for Bourbon Hunting! Cheers JEDI!
I work 30 minutes from there. I know where I am going after work. Thanks for the video!
Hope you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching!
Don't waste your time
I went there today, very cheap compared to South Carolina prices
Interesting that you live so close yet don't go often enough to know what they have. You FOMO's (Fear of Missing Out) are the problem with the market and the supply imbalance. Just hope these "Hunters" haven't already bought it all up while you work working because they have no jobs to clog up the daytime hours.
Really appreciate your work. I just subscribed on Patreon. I’m driving from NC to FL next week and am stopping at Mickey Finns, Premier, and now Randall’s thanks to you. I hope they have some of the 1792 store picks left 😊
Awesome! Thank you! I hope they have some too because I need another of that Bottled in Bond Pickn🔥🥃 Thank you for joining the Patreon!
Best bourbon hunting video on UA-cam. Good luck with the move. Hang in there!
Sipping Henry McKenna B.I.B.
Thank you!
Belle Meade isn't out of production. It's only available in Tennessee, but is almost exclusively sold at the distillery.
Nice haul my friend great buys for sure
Thanks so much! Thank you for watching!
Love that 1792 line up! Still trying to find the single barrel
Cool video. Went to high school with Billy. I'm not surprised you liked his establishment.
He seems like a pretty cool guy! 😎🥃 Thank you for watching!
nice hunt and pick ups. looking forward to you popping open that 1792 and to hear what you think. cheers
Some great finds ! Especially the Eagle Rare for msrp.. I agree with the MM 101 its easy drinking ! 🥃
Yes indeed! Thank you for watching 🥃
This is a haul dude. Great picks for sure.
Thanks for watching! 🥃
Should grab those 13th colony bottles. Solid for price.
JD12 is now down to reality. Seeing for 200 all over.
In reality it is and it isnt thats a 90$ going for $200. It sucks but its better than some secondary markets ive seen!
Good call on that 1792 single barrel! Absolute banger of a bottle for about $45. I grabbed multiples of my local store pick as well.
They are amazing! I wish I grabbed more!
May I ask why you like the Single Barrell over the Bottled in Bond or the Full Proof ? Cheers
@@__PJ__ good question! I really enjoy 1792 products, but for some reason the full proof doesn’t really do it for me. To be fair, I’ve only had one full proof store pick, so maybe it just did not sit with me as well as the single barrel did. I also own a bottled in bond, but just a shelf bottle.
It amazes me how Makers Mark Cask Strength seems to have so many "slam dunks" out there. I think I have seen 3 in just the past month. You can't go wrong with an Elijah Craig Single Barrel. Those 1792 Store Picks were crazy! I've never seen more than one, let alone three! I've never even seen a single barrel 1792.
A triple barrel melt down! Cheers!
Just meet a guy from Pa. That comes to Ohio to get stuff Pennsylvania doesn’t want. We talked for 40 minutes and compared what we’ve tried and what to stay away from. We both got a Larceny A124 and I’m very pleased. I almost didn’t make this trip I was going to go to another store that has a ok selection but not like the store I decided to go to has and I won.. I’m broke now but I’m good with it. Being retired I have to shop carefully.
I need to keep my eyes open for A124 Larceny then!
Awesome finds man. I keep saying it bro, come on down to TX and we can shop for some cases...
One day!!!
I love a good 1792 store pick especially the bottled in bond!
I agree! Thank you for watching 😎🥃
Yo man, that was a great pickup man on the 1792 !!!!!!
Heck yeah!!! Thank you for watching!
That Randall’s place - when you did a quick scan - he has some great tequila. I saw the Cazcanes bottles. Next time think about grabbing one of their añejos or reposados for your tequila friends. They’ll love them. Good quality, additive free. Great video - I like your style!
Thanks for the tips! I appreciate you watching!
Nice haul. This is the time of year when 1792 store picks tend to come out. A lot of brands do store pick releases in the Feb-April window, maybe because that's a slow time for allocations. I've seen 1792 Full Proof picks all over the place for the past month, and a few non-picks. You see fewer single barrels and BIB picks but those have been popping up in my area too. I've also noticed Eagle Rare being easier to find suddenly... maybe that increased production is turning up the flood gates on all the barrels just sitting in the warehouse.
My opinion on 1792... The Full Proof is good but has a bit more ethanol on the finish than I'd like and that places it squarely as a $50-55 quality bottle. The Single barrels haven't impressed me. I'd rather drink Benchmark Single Barrels or BT store picks. Similarish profiles and cheaper. Barton stuff is sourced out to so many grocery store chains you can often store brands that are the same juice, and 95% of the same quality as stuff labled 1792. For example Costco has been using Barton for their releases and you get a 1 liter of 120 proof whiskey for $30 when they drop those releases. If Barton is you thing you can just load up on a case of those and be set for a few years.
Great vid
Great video, sure wish I was a little closer to Savannah
Im sure in your travels you’ll be there at some point!
You should have absolutely picked up the Old Carter bourbon! Especially for that price.
Fun video my friend.
Thank you for watching! I appreciate it! Cheers 🥃
Going to Conway SC this weekend. Any places I should check out?
Great video bud as always. In the past month I’ve got 6 Blantons,4 eh Taylor’s, and 4 Eagle rares all at msrp. I just need to find another Stagg, I only have one .
Very nice! I also only have one and its almost empty!
I got a 23C for $200. I know that is overpayment, but I'm still happy with my purchase it's a great batch.
I don’t remember which one I have but its 132 proof and I love it
Great second store!
It really is! Thank you for watching!
Grab that Rebel 10
If you go to makers mark you can dip your own bottle in the gift shop
I've thought about trying a Savannah when I vacation in Tybee/Savannah. Maybe that bottle I'll give a shot when I'm there this summer
If you do let us know how it is!
I loved this video. The time to buy is when you see it and price is right. One time I bought 8 bottles of Blantons over a 2 day period for msrp. Good thing because I didn’t see an msrp bottle for the rest of the year. Your smart. Plenty to share and let friends have some bottles that can’t get around as often. Keep up the grind.
Well said! Thank you for watching!
Awesome scores from the great state of GA!
Yes they are! Thank you for watching!
I love the 1792s. So good
I agree!!!! 🔥
Rocking the coot shirt in Georgia 😂
That's where I bought my 13th colony double oak from at a good price
I had a 1792 bib store pick a year or so ago that blew me away
The one I have now is leaps and bounds above anything ive had before its incredible!
@Bourbon_Hunter and don't even get me started on the price. I think I paid 42 for my bib store pick I think yours was like 36 or something?? That is an INCREDIBLE value at that price
Ya buddy this is what I needed on the patty day let’s get it!!!!
Heck yeah! Thank you for watching Natterjack king!
@@Bourbon_Hunter 🫡🥃
Even though the one store did not put out all their allocated, I prefer that store rather than the other that had high (stupid) secondary prices. Cheers Hunter 🥃🥃
Cheers! Thank you for watching! 🥃
That first store…. Well… 😂. But that second one was phenomenal! Glad you got those 1792’s… the single barrels are tasty! Great video! 🥃
Thank you Panda! 🥃🙌🏼
May I ask why you like the Single Barrell over the Bottled in Bond or the Full Proof ? Cheers
@@__PJ__ I’m not sure where you got that from, I just noted that they were tasty. I believe that all of the 1792’s are great pours. Just excited that Hunter found a SiB as that one and the Aged 12 Year are harder to find normally.
@@TheWhiskeyPanda37 Sorry, yes I saw you mentioned the single Barrels are tasty I was just after an opinion on which of the 3 1792's in the video would be best. 🥃
@@__PJ__ honest being honest, the Full Proof is my preferred over the SiB or BiB. But it’s really splitting hairs as to which one is better. My order is FP, SiB, then BiB for the ones seen in the video. Hope that helps. 🥃
they have belle meade at the distillery. i was going crazy til i found it at the store in my grandfathers town in nj, and owner told me its not discontinued, but only available at nelson bros distillery. so yeah if you find for 50-70 bucks... buy it
Thanks for the info!
Just picked up a 1792 single barrel at msrp in California, I’d never seen anything other than small batch
Solid hunt!
Thank you! Solid Fish!
1st Place is becoming the norm these days (around Savannah), Indian/Pakistani group owns big group of stores with different names and the prices are outrageous. Billy's shop is always worth a stop, you'll always find something and it won't be crazy pricing...
I like the way Billy is doing things so far! Really happy you watched thank you!
Congrats, the 1792 SB are good as well as the BIB and full proof. Would love to find a 12 year. Cheers 🥃
What about a 12 year Store pick?!? Thank you for watching!
@@Bourbon_Hunter,
Do they even *do* store picks for the 12 Year? I've never heard of it.
I have no clue but that would be really cool if I could pull some clout and do that one day!
We have plenty of hard to find bottles in NJ...all at ridiculous prices
Yeah I noticed that lol 😂
I know i’ll never do a video up there! Lol
Grabbed a 1792 12-year last week for $60 in California, and then learned they're very pricey on the east coast. I may have to grab a couple more before my favorite store learns he can get more $$ for them. ;-)
I would loveeeeee to get a 12 year over here! 🥃 Thank you for watching!
Exit 109 off of 95. They have a great deal on the 10-year-old eagle rare
That’s right !
Support your local ‘Southern’ businesses
What is a he difference of bookers and little books?
I just bought the jack daniel 12 year batch 2 for $150!! Hated spending the money but I don’t feel as bad now! Lol!!!
Yeah its expensive around these parts!
That is a pricey Makers 101...Most I have paid locally is $35 and it's my daily drinker!
I love that stuff! Thats about average price around my part of town sadly!
@@Bourbon_Hunter This bottle doesn't get much attention and am okay with that because completely agree...quite delicious. Cheers from Ladson :)
Sneaking the eagle rare in that box
I will be coming to Columbia in April. Do you have any recommendations on good stores that you have picked in the area?
Thsnk you
Steve
Theres a couple spots but I have not done any bourbon hunting up there yet! I need to! Ask people in the discord they will know
@@Bourbon_Hunter ok, i will do.
A guy in the discord lives in Columbia. Names “USMarshall” reach out to him!
@@Bourbon_Hunter will do. Thank you very much
Oh That first store had some beautiful Bottles but ugly prices LOL, On the other hand the 2nd store and the owner was nice and has nice way of doing Allocated .... Thanks
Well done
Thank you!
That Makers 101 is amazing
Thank you! Nobody talks about it but I think its a sleeper!
You should do a hunting video in California. With distributor changes it’s been epic. Stagg for 60-80, JD12 for 80-100. 1792 Full Proof picks for 49.99 as far as the eye can see. BT liters for 25. Our politics are trash, but you’ll have a good time 😂
Thats the only thing keeping me out 👀
My local store has the 1792 Full Proof store pick $54.99. $449 for JD 12? Got mine for $109. Old Carter for $400. They $249-$299. 🥃
Nice! I’d snag those Old Carters all day long! Thank you for watching!
You're asking to get barked at with that Carolina shirt on in GA!!!
how do you find out about state allocation drops? I am in Mi and trying to get into the game
Most of the time states have websites or something you can look up online! If you want to im sure if you asked your local shop they can help you too!
Good haul Hunter. I would kill for a bottle of 1792 Single Barrel
If you were 10 minutes quicker on the Text I coulda gotten you one! 🫡🥲
@@Bourbon_Hunter I sure wish I would have. If you have an extra bottle and would like to move it, let me know 😁😁
Try the Penelope 9 year, it will change your mind.
A Patreon member sent me a sample and now I will have to try it
These are super cool you need it shakes bottle never has in frame and now you know why he has it we have no clue what it is
I still haven't seen a 1792 store pick omg I want
They are top of the line in my opinion!
I love 1792 and Barton
Some of the best juice around!
When someone says they like Nulu but not Penelope😂😂😂
Different strokes for different folks
there were two eagle rare there and i grabbed one on my first time to that store
A great store! Thank you for watching!
keep up the great content
The key to finding allocated whiskey: have a UA-cam channel
What an amazing haul! I’m sipping on EC Toasted Barrel as I watch. Great video man. Hail USC! My daughter is a student there.
Yessir!! 🥃 Thank you for watching!
passive aggressive price shaming, an expert
If I was there I would have done the same thing with that 1792 lol.
Yupp best bang for your buck around!
I wish distilleries would crack down on the secondary pricing. It’s getting ridiculous. Not like those bottles are that much better than lots of other stuff on the shelf.
That would be nice but I think they like it
don't forget about the 13th Colony
I got my old Carter bourbon for $218. One of the best prices I’ve seen.
Is it worth it at that price?
Yes if it's batch 16 go back.
@@Bourbon_Hunteryes, it’s delicious
1792 Jackpot! One of each please!
I agree! I stacked up!!
Bardstown fusion 4 is 40% 13 year 1792 from what i hear
That hair cut says otherwise
Savannah Bourbon isn't too bad. I haven't had the single barrel though. That first store was horrid, with exception of that Elijah Craig pick. That Old Fourth is wicked good too.
The Explanation of the store pick was killing me 😂
Good deal on the 1792
I agree! Thank you for watching!
Buy those two 1792 and I’ll pay tou ! I have not found those where I live !!
That store is about 2.5 hours away sadly I am not going back anytime soon! I appreciate you watching tho!
Ok guys… I have never had any 1792. I am in a raffle Saturday and they will have the following 1792 offerings: Full Proof, Single Barrel, Sweet Wheat, Aged Twelve Year, and Bottled in Bond. Which should I hope to get? Thanks!
Aged 12 years, full proof, sweet wheat, bottled in bond, single barrel. In that order in my opinion
@@Bourbon_Hunter Thanks!
So I am in Anderson/Greenville. I have a new bottle of Jack 12 if you are looking for a trade.
That JD 12 price was almost disrespectful 😅
A little pricy for me! Thank you for watching!
Got myself a Sweet Wheat and a 12 yr about a week ago at msrp thanks to an ABC drop
Two of the best!
I live in North Ga and can show you all the best stores and go on a hunt.
Let me know
Im considering making the trip!
You know you drove by Bowman Distillery on your way home from MD/DC. 10 min off 95..... 😮
I actually did not! I was about an hour from it sadly or I would have went!
@@Bourbon_Hunter 🤔 Did you not take 95 south through VA? Anyways next time in VA hit the Charlottesville area and visit the distilleries and then make the drive to Fredericksburg to Bowman. ABC stores here have good prices and you can sometimes find a gem or two but not that often.
Smoke Wagon Uncut Unfiltered batch 193-A
Is that one supposed to be extra good?
That old Carter rye for 224 👀 unless it’s batch 14…batch 14 rye I did not enjoy
$450 for JD 12??? 🤣 That guy is out of his mind.
For me, 1792 Full Proof is one of the best bargains in bourbon. That second store is where it's at.
Yeah thats a little much for me
I would be a hard pass on everything at that first store as a boycott for the prices on that allocated stuff. 2x secondary! Literally the worst I’ve ever seen on the JD12, CYPB, GTS, and others.
Pretty brutal I agree
If you see a Yellowstone 2022 limited grab it.
I might have to!
@@Bourbon_Hunter I haven’t been wowed by the 2021 or 2023 finishes, but the 2022 is something special. Great content man.
Thank you! I appreciate you watching!
$999 for a CYPB? VJ better put down the crack pipe.
😂
