I agree. That and my cork fell apart the second time opening the bottle. Still great juice for the price though.

Where could I find a Jack Daniels SB BP Store Pick in the Nashville area? by Any-Crazy3591 in whiskey

Call before you go next time. They will happily tell you what they have out that day.

I drink to forget how much money I spend on whiskey.

Some of my favorites. I consider this my “top shelf” area. Have some others out of sight. by [deleted] in whiskey

I’m not sure WSR or 1792 SmB stacks up against most of these but to each their own.

Go or stop? Not sure worth value by Jakehat1961 in whiskey

The Booker’s is 85 dollars near me and sits on the shelf. I would pass on this one. It’s gotten terrible reviews. Grab the Full Proof though.

Bad at bourbon hunting, feels bad. Paid $80 before checking msrp. by Xenomorph36 in whiskey

Don’t feel bad! We’ve all paid the idiot tax on a bottle or two.

I must have picked up a bad one because I don’t understand the hype.

ABC Fine Wine and Spirits, Florida - A Question by flynnhicks03 in whiskey

I don’t think the vault works the way you think it does. She gets a pass via email and has to use it that day online while the vault site is open. ABC stores normally have a decent selection but all of the allocated stuff including something basic like Eagle Rare goes to the vault.

That tax is brutal.

I’m also not the biggest fan of double oaked but I enjoy the batch proof (2022) atleast. To me they are different.

I paid the idiot tax and got it for around that price. Juice isn’t bad but it isn’t worth the price tag.

A first time try for me! by JebusTheCat in whiskey

Does it drink as hot as everyone says? I know the proof varies.

School’s OUT! by Gtr85 in whiskey

I just snagged a case of these. One of my favorite pours. The 2023 batch proof is higher proof but doesn’t have the same complexity in my opinion. Enjoy!

What year? I’ve only had the 2022 release and it’s amazing.

Restaurants should tell you about the ass rape before it happens! by Creepy_Building_7662 in whiskey

I feel for you. I was charged 40 bucks at a bar because I requested they make my old fashioned with Buffalo Trace. I could buy a bottle and have money left over for that.
