He was the kick in the ass I needed to get started. Probably never would have tried to do these videos if not for @MajorXero. Gotta give him a little ribbing on the shout out!🤣
@WhiskeyBasket The state controls distribution. They sell to the stores with a 27% markup. In my area OWA 107 is rare. So is EHT Small Batch. And I haven't seen that soft red wheat anywhere. I go to Memphis. I get my EHT there. OWA 107 is priced through the roof, $199 and up. I'm only 2 miles from the state line
@WhiskeyBasket Supermarkets can't sell liquor. Only one box store per company is allowed to sell liquor. Costco is 3 good away in Ridgeland, MS! As a liquor store owner, you can only own one store.
Bit of a double-edged sword. Yes, the large grocery chains usually have vast selections, and the prices are always around MSRP. However, the smaller, independent liquor stores tend to get the shaft when it comes to allocated liquor, because the distributors sell most of it to the large grocery chains. BTW, I grew up right outside Detroit and sure do miss the party stores, lol. The pizza you can buy from most party stores is better than any pizza you’ll find in KC!🤣
@@nakrohtap Well I lived in Berkley, moved away in 1999, so things may have changed. Used to be, most any party store sold pizza by the slice. What’s your favorite spot to go bourbon hunting up there? I’d love to check it out next time I visit home.
Dude, that’s an awesome thought and I can definitely do that! Title: “Bourbon Hunting at My House”🤣 I’m actually building a tall corner shelf right now to relieve the particle board shelves in my TV stand, lol. When I get that thing finished I’ll gladly show my meager collection. Thank you, and cheers!🥃
The store is in a decent part of town, but you just never know these days. It looked to me like they just put the caps on any bottle with a topper small enough to fit them on. Pretty sure I noticed a few bottles that didn’t have them, despite being more expensive than the bottles I bought.
@shpfro I picked up a JB DO last night for $23. It's definitely not as rich and flavorful as Woodford DO or 1910, but does have a nice flavor and drinks nice and smoothly. Glad I bought it, thanks again dude!🥃👍
Haven’t opened it yet but it appears to be their regular straight bourbon whiskey, 92.5 proof (46.25% ABV), just with a special, festive label for Halloween. The skull glows in the dark!😁 Hope this helps!🥃👍
Pretty sure PC and Hy-Vee are the only two big box grocery retailers in KC nowadays. Might be a few Apple Market and Sunfresh stores left, but they’re smaller and I don’t know whether or not they carry liquor.
Templeton ..never had. Thats a NO on the HS, grainy on the copper label, too many better ones. 1910 & MM Cask the right price. Larceny one of my goto, Old Overholt BIB nice, J.W. Dant..I'm not mad at it. That place is a litter overpriced if you don't know what to getting. Not bad though. TW&M @ The Liberty Location Better. Tell me about that Smoke W.- Uncut the younger version pretty good. Cheers Mike. 🥃
I will have to check out the Liberty location next time I’m up that way. We will probably open that Smoke Wagon on Halloween and give out mini Solo shots to the parents of the trick or treaters, lol. Thanks for watching, dude!🥃
Very nice store. Great price on both the knob creek sb. Especially the rye sb. I think that I would have bought 2 of the dunker cs MM. And I haven't seen the Puncher's chance Undisputed yet. Great content. Cheers 🥃
Many items on sale for their grand opening celebration. Wife asked why I didn’t buy the dunker, I told her it was because I bought her the beer and Halloween bottle she wanted.😁
Great store, nice pickups
Thank you, Keith! Still haven't opened the Smokewagon, but the other two are both delicious!🥃👍
😂 I like the shout out to @MajorXero! That was a good price on the Ben Holladay Soft Red Wheat!

@WhiskeyBasket Awesome! Yeah, he's been helpful to me too. I kid him about the OGD 114. I wish Mississippi allowed sales like Missouri!
@@kutlasshighproof I'm not up on the regs in MS, what are you guys limited on?

Nice haul 3 solid bottles and great video
Thanks dude, can’t wait to try that Kentucky Spirit!👍
Keep up the good work buddy
Thank you, Alfie! I’ll sure try!😆
I could only wish we had these prices and selection in MI.

@@WhiskeyBasket The ones I visit don't typically have pizza. I am in Oakland County.

We gatta see your current collection somewhere down the line.
Awesome work bud

Are the security caps necessary? Is there a lot of liquor theft there? A lot less dust than the gas station!

@@WhiskeyBasket appreciate the response... I was just joking but I have just never seen it like that. Typically they are just on the expensive ones!
Don't sleep on the JB Black, Double Oak or Devils Cut. Solid AF for the price point.
Good to know. I'm a lover of all double oaks, so will definitely grab that one. Thank you and cheers!🥃

@@WhiskeyBasket not at all, but for 23$ it's a nice easy drinker that's adds variety without breaking the bank
What Smoke Wagon was that??? I'm super interested.

Wow. Price chopper. Haven't seen that name in decades. I worked for them in High School back in the '70's but we don't have them here in Florida.

Couldnt tell 100% but if that was a templton age in tequila barrels it is definitely worth the pick up if you like tequila at all
Oh boy, even thinking about tequila makes me wanna hurl! Just can't do it!🤣
If that was a Four Roses barrel strength, I would’ve picked it up as well
Great selections! If that was a Four Roses Barrel Proof, would have snagged it as well. Cheers!
Yeah, I’ll probably regret not buying a couple others at those grand opening prices, lol. Thanks and cheers to you as well!🥃
