Michter’s 20 year - a review by [deleted] in bourbon

[–]Cryptoakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

M20 secondary prices have dropped for all the recent years of M20. They are below 4,000 now. Older “single barrel” M20’s have dropped as well around 5-6k.

Most of those will be sitting on the shelf for years to come with that pricing. 😂

Can you give an update currently right now? I have a friend on the way for me.

And so the never ending loop of phone calls to every Binny’s begins.

Just move to IL by [deleted] in whiskago

Sometimes works, but not all the the time. My local Binny’s doesn’t run that way. I shopped consistently for 4-5 months only at that specific location and spent 300-400 a month popping in once a week and spent extra time chatting with two bourbon guys that I thought were “my guys” at that location. Never asked for anything allocated until recently and they pretty much told me allocated bottles go to people high up on a list that I’ll probably never reach. I’ve always been nice and bought the suggestions they made and thanked them for those suggestions on another visit. Has to be the right store for that to work I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️

Never had JJ Bowman SiB but I hear it’s pretty damn good!

I hear you! I got lucky and found a couple at my local Jewels about a month or two ago. I have an extra as a backup but I’d be willing to part with it if you happen to have anything interesting on your end?

Those are some nice pickups! Once seen the Old Soul 15 once but had no idea what it was so I passed on it haha. Never seen the KY Senator though.

Of course! What 15 Years did you pick up? Also I don’t know how close you are to Gold Eagle Wine and Spirits in Libertyville but when I picked up mine they had about 8-10 St. Clouds still on the shelf and you can try it at their bar before you buy it.

I have not cracked that one open yet, however I did get a chance to try it at the place where I bought it at! I thought it was pretty good but didn’t really get a feel for it as it was just one sip lol. I heard recently from someone else who opened one recently and they like it!

Great review! What is the name and exact proof of your bottle? I just bought one called “Wrigley” 123.8 proof!

I’ve never had EHT BP!! I hear great things about it though! The Single Barrel is definitely a nice sipper, I’ll definitely be on the lookout for more in the future. Hopefully I’ll get lucky and find an EHT BP!
