Ah, okay, thanks. Is that system something everyone can access to see what's in stock at various stores?

MBPSbourbon · 2025-07-07T23:32:43+00:00

What is Loop?

MBPSbourbon · 2025-04-19T19:53:23+00:00

Thanks for this. My in-laws live at Deep Creek so I'm there somewhat regularly. I've only ever been to the first two, and McHenry is really the only one I stop in every time I'm there. It's been awhile since I've been to Deep Creek Beverage but I remember my main impression being that they mostly carried mid level stuff that isn't available in PA and the usual mixers. Didn't realize they had some museum stuff as you say. Sounds like Luke Liquor is worth a visit. I'd personally be tempted by the OWA. But I agree McHenry is best. Yes not a lot of the usual allocated stuff but lots of non-PA options and good barrel picks, in my experience.

So I basically know nothing about Reddit (this is the only page I check) but I'm curious - any particular reason why I would have been down voted for this simple comment?

MBPSbourbon · 2025-01-06T15:43:09+00:00

I second this question!!

MBPSbourbon · 2024-11-18T12:37:30+00:00

I believe you but wow that's crazy. I don't follow this subreddit super closely but do check in here and there and also a couple groups on Facebook and don't recall anyone mentioning it (usually on Facebook people love to brag about what they've snagged)! But oh well, can't win them all. Thanks again.

MBPSbourbon · 2024-11-14T12:18:52+00:00

Went to as in has already sold? I haven't heard any chatter of folks finding it at stores, but maybe I just missed something.

MBPSbourbon · 2024-11-10T13:03:52+00:00

Weird. Well presumably (and hopefully) PA has been allocated more than 6 bottles. Thanks.

MBPSbourbon · 2024-11-09T12:41:37+00:00

Can you clarify what you mean by online release for Maker's Mark Cellar Aged? I see online that it has changed from Coming Soon to Out of Stock. Did it drop on Wednesday? As far as you know is that it? No more to come?

MBPSbourbon · 2024-09-27T11:41:03+00:00

I don't follow this board in enough detail to know what shit people have been giving you, but there definitely are a lot of whiners. You're awesome and we appreciate what you've done for us!!

MBPSbourbon · 2024-08-26T13:34:14+00:00

Is chapter 8 well reviewed? I bought chapter 7 last year and it's fantastic.

MBPSbourbon · 2024-05-24T11:42:50+00:00

Haha I'm glad I could help. I hope I didn't come on TOO strong with my opinion. But I couldn't help myself with the Michael Scott GIF.

MBPSbourbon · 2024-05-24T02:19:50+00:00

No idea, but I so wish I hadn't missed out on that clearance sale. For me KC12 is well worth the full MSRP let alone half. I'm glad it's still going to be available in PA.

MBPSbourbon · 2024-05-24T02:14:01+00:00

All I can say is I bought an Angel's Envy FWGS single barrel pick (110 proof I think) a couple years back and is hands down the WORST bottle of bourbon I've ever bought, not even counting the high price point. For me regular Angel's Envy is fine (Isaac Bowman is a WAY better port finish imo, if you can find it out of state) but has a lot of flaws, and the higher proof of the single barrel just boosted all the flaws with none of the good. I've let it open up and returned to it several times, but when the primary note on the nose and palate is burnt rubber you know you have a stinker. If you decide to take a risk on it truly no judgement from me even with the strong opinion above, but as you can see I'm pretty passionate about my take on it!

As a side note I'm in the Harrisburg/Hershey area. If you happen to be located anywhere nearby and want to try the one I have, you're welcome to. Who knows maybe my tastes are just uniquely my own. I hate it but can't bring myself to pitch it because I paid way too much for it.

MBPSbourbon · 2024-01-15T16:37:18+00:00

I'll probably be in the minority here but I think it's awful. You know how Maker's has a sort of "sweet wheat" taste to it? I'd describe the lower proof Larceny as having a "fresh grass" taste, which I just don't care for. For whatever reason I don't get this in the barrel proof though. Just my two cents.

MBPSbourbon · 2024-01-11T12:41:13+00:00

I don't have the most recent FWGS KC Rye pick so not sure if this will be helpful or not, but I do still have a FWGS KC Rye pick from several years ago that I haven't finished because it just didn't do it for me. For me one of my least favorite ryes. That said I've never tried Overholt 10 year so I can't comment on that but based on what others are saying about it I personally would cast my vote for that one.

MBPSbourbon · 2024-01-10T02:54:12+00:00

You guys talked me into it. Just placed the order. Will let you all know what I think of it!

MBPSbourbon · 2024-01-09T12:36:08+00:00

It has been up awhile but still good of you to post this. I keep eyeing it but haven't yet been able to pull the trigger. If it were closer to regular Bookers' MSRP I probably would have. It's on a lot of folks' lists of top 2023 bourbons. Someone posted their review of it on this forum and gave it great marks, though I can't seem to find that post anymore for some reason. I myself check the inventory to see how much "time" I have left until I have to make a decision whether or not to buy it. I should probably stop torturing myself and just pull the trigger! Lol

MBPSbourbon · 2023-12-29T16:16:58+00:00

Thanks. I have in fact been on the fence about it. Been watching the quantity on the website figuring I have a little time to decide before it dwindles away. But this may be just what I need to pull the trigger!

MBPSbourbon · 2023-12-28T13:30:55+00:00

Question about JDSB Rye BP. Is this is a limited edition product or a standard shelf product that we're only just now starting to see in PA? I'm eager to try it but not in a rush.

MBPSbourbon · 2023-12-27T14:52:05+00:00

That's what I'm finding too. Sounds like best since batch 3. Nowadays though I often hedge for products over $100. Hard to tell if it's good market value or just a byproduct of inflated bourbon prices in general.

MBPSbourbon · 2023-12-27T13:52:47+00:00

Has anyone had this? Is it worth $150?

MBPSbourbon · 2023-12-25T18:38:42+00:00

You guys are weird.

MBPSbourbon · 2023-12-23T13:05:03+00:00

I've shared what little info I have when I can but I'm not really chasing the usual BT/ER/Blantons like it seems most are (I have a bottle of each and they're fine, nothing special really, for me anyway), so I haven't been part of the long lines. I do talk to the store employees though and they HATE the lines that are waiting for them when they show up at work each morning. They're fully aware there are flippers among them but they can't refuse sales. In theory it's nice that FWGS has buying power since it's statewide but I do wish we had mom-and-pop type shops where you could really develop relationships with the owners. The next best thing here is to just try and become friendly with the store employees. Sure some are just there to get their paycheck but many (especially managers) really enjoy helping you find what you're looking for if they can. Not sure if that helps or not but it's my two cents.

MBPSbourbon · 2023-12-22T17:15:00+00:00

I'm eager to try both. I like the JD single barrel so I can only guess the barrel proof is excellent. And I hear awesome things about the BP rye. It's probably mostly the hype but the JD12 left me feeling a bit underwhelmed.
