😂 The store owner is so principled. fantastic that he sticks to what’s right and moral in not dealing with BT’s terrible antics.. as he charges 140 for smoke wagon, 390 for Michters BS rye, 225 for a 4R pick.. what a guy?! There’s a reason that willett is collecting dust there and they’ll have it for years to come
Cool store for sure! They have 8 boxes of Willet purple top in the basement and he said they wouldn’t put another out for another year or two after that one sells…That dude made me wonder how many liquor stores throttle back their allocated inventory.
@@Bourbon_Hunter I was going to buy a construction outfit and some orange cones from Grainger, and rent a jackhammer and just go through the sidewalk. :-) Just kidding store owner. Hopefully the Chamber of Commerce has you guys listed as a destination to come visit. That store is real South Carolina and American history.
A lot in Kentucky do that. There’s a big one in northern Kentucky that has a points system for allocated stuff, and at the end of 2022 I was able to redeem my points for an ORVW, but the laser code on it was for 2021, so even though they got the 2022 bottles they were still sitting on 2021 stuff.
Really awesome video Hunter. The history in Charleston is crazy. Who knew those stores even existed. Thanks so much for the awareness and keeping us informed and entertained
Loved that little skit about UA-camr/Blanton's + the super unique store experiences shown here. You're quickly becoming one of my favorite youtubers to watch in the bourbon space. Keep it up!
@@Bourbon_Hunter Ofc! put Germany on the bourbon map haha no really, it's very interesting the bourbon hunts and we in Germany have already a great selection with rather mediocre interest in bourbon (so far). Interesting times.
I was just taken aback about that tavern. I love the history of it. When you went down the cellar I was like "Oh that place is haunted" so after I watched I looked it up and yep it is...
@@Bourbon_Hunter the video is right here on UA-cam I googled is the tavern in Charleston haunted and it popped up I believe it was a local evening news story
Haha that Blantons/BT bit was spot on, I used to work at a craft beer bottle shop and we would get people like that all the time for the high end stuff that beginners knew about. "yall got Cantillon/Pliny/Goose Island Stouts" "nope, we got 200 other things that are just as good an readily available..." *leaves*
This may be your best video adventure yet. Not one, but two fantastic places, all in one video. Loved the history, story, and taking a trip into the cellar. There must be some risk of breakage of a leg, or even a box of spirits with those stairs. That place with the German name might be the most unique spirit place anyone has ever seen. Did the touristy thing last time I was in Germany. We ate at a bratwurst restaurant that has been serving bratwurst since the 1300s continuously. I know it wasn’t bourbon, but still cool, non the less.
Not your average hunting video, great. Great video a little history, a little uniqueness and a little Sazerac 😂🤣😂🤣 (the one store said they carry Benchmark)
@@Bourbon_Hunter That Blantons skit was very funny! In Sweden (where im from) you can just walk into the government run liquor store (Systembolaget) and grab Blanton Gold (no strings attached) One question tho, have you tried Chicken Cock? I can't find it here at all :(
Thats interesting about the Red Dots. When I first moved to SC I thought it was the weirdest thing, now after 5 years its like part of the culture for me.
You have to have tens of thousands of dollars in other product such as Paul Cognac, Fireball, Wheatley vodka, and other Saz products to even have allocated access of buffalo trace
But I need to know it’s there! Lol. I have a friend from Nashville that just moved there. She’s a nurse anesthesiologist at some hospital there. It looks like a great place to
Crazy that he opts out of Sazerac products but still stocks Fireball 100mls. At that point, might as well do the bare minimum product spread to get in on the the Buffalo Trace allocations they can charge secondary prices for alongside the rest of the tourist trap bottles.
Holy shit, that store has my unicorn!!!! Canadian Club chronicles 'the speakeasy '. I need that bottle for toasting my brother, born in 1977 died in 2020. That bottle was barreled in 1977 bottled in 2020. Sorry for the long post, just surprised to see it
I own a liquor store.....very nice to hear them call out Buffalo Trace. I will say it's driven by the distributors more than anything versus the distillery but they do have influence and it it doesn't seem like they care about how thier stuff is distributed in a fair manner.
What a cool ass store/museum. Definitely will visit it next time I am in town. Just had a pour of that 2010 double barrel rye Knob Creek. Would love to find one (or cases of it ) but probably not for what they want. That Game of Thrones set sells all the time at auction for half that price or less. Vom Fass looked cool. Great video Hunter
BT isn’t doing anything unreasonable. They are owned by Sazerac and they have very sought after products. They have several great whiskeys and supply is limited until the expansion is complete. Then you have to wait for all those new barrels to age 7 years or so. In five years it wont be as limited. But the demand will probably be a lot higher as well.
@@Bourbon_Hunter I heard you mention new rif awhile back. Do you like their stuff? What flavor profile would you compare their stuff to? There is a store near me that has store picks of a rye and a single barrel cask strength.
Ima supporter and a fan. I wanted to know if you can help with finding a bottle I’m a collector. Was looking for Macallan Estate I can pay you however you need Let me know if you can help
Yep! By far the worst prices I have ever seen. It will be another century before they sell all of the Willett Purple Tops, maybe longer. They charge secondary prices for bottles that don't have secondary markets lol
My favorite part is that you make fun of people getting upset about not having BT/Saz products, but then you basically shit yourself in the new video over Blanton's and ER.
Hate to be that guy but go watch Game of Thrones. I didn’t watch on principle for a couple years but it was pretty good with a controversial last season most people hated.
That’s hilarious that they don’t wanna play the BT game, but they mark the crap up out of their shitty allocated bottles. Get a grip guys. I walked in there once and they were selling KC 18 for like $350. That’s above secondary. Nothing to be proud of here. It’s highway robbery
Hey man we have a lot of cool bottles I know you’d love but I can’t sell them to you because I want to make it seem like they are more rare than they really are. Sorry. What a terrible business model
😂 The store owner is so principled. fantastic that he sticks to what’s right and moral in not dealing with BT’s terrible antics.. as he charges 140 for smoke wagon, 390 for Michters BS rye, 225 for a 4R pick.. what a guy?!

He is just the worker but yeah 😂
I was thinking the same thing as I watched. 😅
@@Bourbon_Hunterhe said something like in South Carolina you gotta make the deal and “I don’t make deals” so I assumed
It's in an extremely high cost area of the country. Not necessarily unexpected.
@@joshlaws1300 You're not wrong but this store is still cope.
Got the entire GoT scotch set for less than 800. They’re criminal on the set.
Man loves Dickel and Rowen’s creek. All I need to hear
Lol! Im halfway between liking and not liking some dickel products
That Place was Bad Ass! I Love Old Buildings like that and the History hidden inside it! So Cool to go visit and be a part of it! Great Job Hunter
Its honestly super cool! The fact that most of it is still original was awesome
@@Bourbon_Hunter Great Job as always on your videos! I’ve been a sub since the beginning of your early days! So awesome to see you doing so well!

Cool stores. I have been in the first store but never realized the history. Cheers!
Heck yeah! Oldest around! Thank you for watching 🥃
Super cool videos and stores. Love the history. such a great video loved it. cheers

maybe the most awesome video you have put out to date! Cheers~~~!!!!
Wow, thanks!
So awesome! Cool history and nice hunt!
Thanks a bunch! 🥃
Very cool video. Enjoyed the blend of history and whiskey!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Right!!! I hope people go check that place out!

Thats great! I’d love to checkout that distillery in person!
This was so cool

Headed your way on Tuesday for work! Imma try and hit that old store but I heard parking is hard to come by down there! We'll see!
Bring some quarters and about 1 block up is public parking meters!
@@Bourbon_Hunter nice! Thanks man, love your videos
Very cool place with the casks, good job brother
Thank you for watching! 🤙🏼🥃
I’m not sure the store room is up to code 😂 What a cool store, dang I was in Charleston March 23 and missed it
I need to find a way into that basement after hours 😅
Not your average hunting video, great. Great video a little history, a little uniqueness and a little Sazerac 😂🤣😂🤣 (the one store said they carry Benchmark)

So cool! Would love to visit that store!
You should! I love the history too! 🥃
Some really cool stores!
Thank you for watching!
That was a cool store. I picked up a Bomberger’s and Shenk’s this weekend, as well as a Three Chord’s Single Barrel Store Pick.
Heck yeah!!! You get them for a good price?
I’ve walked past this store twice nice while visiting friends in Charleston but never went in. Need to stop in next time I’m in town!
Nice! Good luck!
Interesting stores. I enjoy the history part of it and would love a bottle with a hand written label
Its truly something unique! Thanks for watching Baker!
super cool, thanks for the video.
Thank you for watching! 🥃 Ima check out your channel!
Still can’t believe you passed on that Old Overholt 10 in NC. 😂
Those are some awesome stores cheers 🥃
Thank you buddy! I appreciate you!
Both places seemed awesome
Indeed! Thank you for watching! 🤙🏼🥃
Really cool place that made for a great show. I like to sip on Dickel rye. Easy and smooth.

Review that bottle you bought 😊
I will! Probably only make it on the patreon since the interest in scotch is low
Thats interesting about the Red Dots. When I first moved to SC I thought it was the weirdest thing, now after 5 years its like part of the culture for me.
Its the only way I know
Very cool stores! I expected tourist pricing on much of the bottles but the local selection is really impressive.
I agree! I personally really like the Jimmy Red Single Barrels that local stores get. Thank you for watching!
No Buffalo Trace ! Sounds like the store is for him not his customers.... funny little tourist trap id gladly walk past.. Good Video Hunter !
475? For the Leopold bros triple chamber is diabolical.
What was the price on the willet purple top?
Neat little spot! But you know what else they won’t bring in with those prices? Customers.
More of a tourist spot anyways
I've been there.............very cool place!!
Thank you for watching! I agree!
Respect!
🤝🏼🥃
You have to pick up a middle west wheated black label! Amazing
It looks like you bought a bottle of liquor cologne. 😋
That springbank is a HUGE bottle. Springbank releases crash websites. What was it going for?
Im so confused on what you’re talking about my man 😂
Very cool store. That GoT set was missing a bottle.... just saying...lol.
With the storm drains on the street there has to be water that causes damage every time it rains
Im no civil engineer but I also agree
What is "the deal" with buffalo trace?
You have to have tens of thousands of dollars in other product such as Paul Cognac, Fireball, Wheatley vodka, and other Saz products to even have allocated access of buffalo trace
to what kind of blue run is that?
They had a handful of blue runs I don’t remember. Some were the Reflection series
Please pick that knob creek up for me and I will drive there. I’m in Jackson TN lol.
Its just a excuse to come vacation this summer and get some!
But I need to know it’s there! Lol. I have a friend from Nashville that just moved there. She’s a nurse anesthesiologist at some hospital there. It looks like a great place to
Dude, what a great video! Loved seeing that cellar. I hope you took a purple top home….
Nooooo sir! A little out of my budget!
I went to school in Charleston. It flooded like a bitch downtown. I don’t see how that hasn’t flooded since Hugo! 🤯
Cool stores I'll have to visit sometime. The wife will love the history.
Nice! Charleston has a lot to offer!
How was the scotch?
Amazing!
Stopped in there last year when me and my wife were down for our anniversary and we saw Darius Rucker
Heck yeah! Thank you for watching!
If they have so many purple tops, why charge so much over msrp?
Try Mickey Finns in Florence. It's not as nostalgic but it's huge. I'm from SC
Maybe i’ll go there soon!
Crazy that he opts out of Sazerac products but still stocks Fireball 100mls. At that point, might as well do the bare minimum product spread to get in on the the Buffalo Trace allocations they can charge secondary prices for alongside the rest of the tourist trap bottles.
It was interesting because they do stock some stuff but hey they’ve been in business for so long Im not gonna judge!
I have the Game of thrones Lagavulin house Lannister. Tastes like drinking a campfire

Those bottles are hanging around in the cellar because NOBODY's paying these ridiculous prices, these are beyond secondary, its price gouging .
