I'm the stock manager at Marketplace Spirits, im also a big bourbon head. I did specifically hide that over dunked makers in the back for people to find 😂. And of course I had the day off when you came in. I would have loved to talk to you man
Of course! Thats so funny! The lady who helped me was very nice!
Barrys the GOAT!
These aren’t super rare, MM overdunks 1 cask strength bottle per case
@@OSURainmandon’t be a buzzkill. Some people are too broke to buy the unicorns so a dunked MM is the best we can afford for “unique” bottles
@@JCTexanRyeGuy giving out accurate information is now a buzz kill? Sheesh guess reality is too tough a place for you to live in…
Man GTS for $1299 I found mine this year $172 out the door ,,, Nice hunt Thanks
How is it? Im scared to open mine.
The accent changed real fast when he was talking to black folks lmao
I thought the same thing... hahaha...
@@MrMtodag cringe to the max
I'm not about to critique someone from the south on their accent. Everyone does it whether it's accent or words chosen around family vs work friends or seniors. We all change the way we talk
Oof, that first store prices and Benchmark in glass case 😂
But the people were super nice!
And BTAC's out on the shelf 🤣
Ppl are acting weird about some of the Benchmarks lately.
Got the 2024 Makers for $73, wouldn't have normally picked it up, but I was going to a bottle share and I knew people would love to try it. Mixed reviews, but most enjoyed it. Not every bottle will please the crowd, but glad I got it.
Very very true. Its hard to please a crowd
Great selection. I found the Knob Creek Bourye a few weeks ago. One of my new favorites. Bought a backup. Cracked open the MM Heart Release last night. Really enjoyed the neck pour. My local store has the Heaven Hill 7 Year BIB for $37. 🥃
Very nice!
Thanks for giving Sumter some love. My in-laws are here, so I get to hunt periodically. WHOLESALE always has a smiling folks. Also got my first (2) RR store pics there. Good memories 🍻
That is awesome!
Man, another great video and hunt! So cool that you ran into a Patreon subscriber as well! I'll have to be on the lookout for that Knob Creek bourye and still looking for that @BourbonHunter trip down to Texas!
Heck yeah!
Agree on the tropics. First Jefferson’s I’ve really enjoyed.
I'm from Sumter and I never thought I'd see a bourbon hunting video there. I'm sorry that you had the displeasure of visiting my hometown 😂
Everybody I met was super nice! You have a great town!
@@Bourbon_Hunter it's definitely gotten a lot better than when I grew up there! Moved up to Greenville in 2018 after I graduated college
lol. i grew up there too and was shocked to see a few places i recognized on youtube lol.
The part at the end when you sprint by had be rolling
Finally someone noticed! 😂 🏃🏻💨
I’ve had great luck finding bottles in rural Washington, Idaho and Oregon. Unfortunately the prices are the issues.
I paid $129 for the new Little Book at Costco 2 months ago.
Thats a Steal!
Yea I grabbed mine for 150 2weeks ago in PA
Total Wines in Indy had little book 8 for 150 roughly a couple weeks ago. 2 per glass case. Very good if you like rye, but not a $200+ bottle.
I loved the Old Scout Barrel Proof Single Barrel Rye, not a huge fan of rye but loved that one, and also loved port finishes, so when I saw the Port Finish Rye come out, I bought one for my birthday soon after. Definitely a good buy!
I never even saw a stagg jr at a store in Ca. But i just bought a Stagg jr and GTS at a restaurant that went out of business in my area. Cant believe i have both.
Awesome video. I lived in Sumter for a while as a kid. I'll definitely have to check these stores out next time I'm in town.
We agree on the Old Scout Port. My entire bourbon crew loves that bottle. 🙌🏼
I can’t believe its that good! Thank you for watching!
No way they have benchmark in the glass lmao
Nice finds brother. Congratulations on that. Good video.
DRIZONATION
Have you ever been to The Party Source and the New Riff distillery.
Now that's a bourbon shelf
No Pappy
What an awesome video! You were right beside a solid bottle in a couple of the stores…. The Timber Craft is amazing! On a different note, the only people I’ve heard say Thomas Moore was good were older non-bourbon drinkers for what it’s worth… 😂
Giveaway…. Review up coming!
LETS GOOOOOO!!!
I live in a big city, and you see rare bottles a lot, but they're always full secondary. no rewards programs, no raffles, nothing. so I definitely think it's better in rural areas
Interesting! I tend to agree honestly!
I picked up a widow Jane 10 year after seeing you talk about it so much. It’s probably my favorite sipper currently
Wow, $200 for the Woodford 121. It's like $120 at my store in southern Indiana across from Louisville
In Texas and I paid $34 for that Weller special reserve 1/2 gal
Texas is a different animal
Weller country down there
That Pepper decanter tastes just like the Old Pepper Bib but with more proof. I’d like to see that decanter at $50 and the Bib $40-35. Great juice for sure but idk if it’s worth the price. Cheers🥃
Great Episode! Love the Maker's Heart Release, for sure!
I also have a bottle of the Heart Release... Great pour
Just picked up that baby Jane today because of this video, I knew when I saw it I remembered you saying something about it. Thank you
Hope you enjoy it!
Its crazy how many knob creek 18 u see. Great video!! Definitely a fan
Thanks for watching!
Another great hunt and great interactions, well done!
Thank you! 🥃
That New Riff malted rye is a buy all day at $60. Such a pleasant surprise.
I agree! it's $62 in PA and really good. The closest thing I compared it to is the A Overholt Monongahela Rye. It's like it's hotter spicer cousin. A Overhold is my Rye of the year for SURE. At $40 is the best and most flavorful bottle for the price hands down. On the shelf in PA all year so on my 5th bottle.
@@AmishFury OO 114 🍻
So I am in clearwater florida for the week just landed like 5 hours ago and stopped at two liquor stores....I found penelope rio for 200, 1792 12 year for 150, full proof 60, single barrel 50, plus BiB and SM, they also had a buff trace store pick for 50. Since I am only going to be here a week I got 1792 full proof for 60 out the door!
Imma need to see if you're faster in all the videos!
I have the Blood Oath2017 P3 with box. My wife bought it for me back in 2017. I still have half the bottle.
Can you post a video of your bourbon collection? I looked through your previous videos and couldn't believe there wasn't a collection overview
I'll be at Creekville in the morning at 10. Yeah, they open at 10!
You’ll love it!
Dang, would love to grab that Makers BEP in that last store! Cheers
Shout out from Greenwood!!!
Did you really like the Maker's Heart Release? I saw some not so good reviews of it online by some heavy hitters. Comments were it's another toasted stave finish like most of their others, wasn't earth shattering for the price, etc. Great video and finds up in Sumpter
I think its very good! Everybody at the bottle share enjoyed it as well. I need to revisit it and check but I liked it a lot
@Bourbon_Hunter I was going to grab a bottle until I saw those few reviews. Seems Maker's keeps at it with the same staves instead of trying something new or changing their approach. I'd want a sample first to see if I liked it or if it was similar to the other Maker's stave finished bottles
A channel just did a side-by-side comparison of Heart to BEP (fresh cracks of each) and, for both tasters, the BEP was the clear winner.
Great video, and that MMHeart sure is good. Now I gotta post a review tonight.
Chip!! Heck yeah I love reading all the reviews
C922 was amazing!,!!!! Missed out bigtime
If only you saw how many Elijah Craig bottles I have 😅
@@Bourbon_Hunter same here, but that particular release stands out …..caramel bomb!
i grew up in sumter, and i gotta say...that's the LAST spot i expected to see you in a video lol. impressive scurry speed in that clip at the end btw lol.
I can only imagine the look the cars gave me as I ran past my tripod in the middle of the road
The 1792 Full Proof at the last store is wonderful. Have you had it?
In SoCal Little Book is sitting on the shelf for $150-160 and Bookers is everywhere. Not sure why people are marking these bottles up.
I had a tour at the Pepper distillery and I think she said the decanter was aged 5 years, the 1776 only 3 years. I have a decanter but haven't tried it yet.
I’m able to get the HH BIB at my local Sam’s Club for $39! That’s a steal!
Sam’s club has the cheapest ever! Big box store vibe
That Knob Creek BourRye damn havent seen those in Colorado🥃🥃
The Senator store picks are amazing!
Can confirm, Thomas S Moore is worth NOT buying atleast before trying. I got the whole lineup when it first released since I thought it was going to be a limited release Barton finished. Unfortunately the Port finish tastes nothing like the Port 1792
Great video. You mentioned a couple sites to check prices…what are they? Im just getting into bourbon and need something to price off of. Thanks!
I use a page called Bourbon Blue Book
Great video again!
Glad you enjoyed it!
New riff 6 year rye is amazing
I live in Ohio, Crown Royal XR is 54$ here and can be found everywhere in Ohio
Definitely pick up World of Whiskey, the 10 year is fantastic.
I see those Belle Meade Reserve bottles all the time. I've see them in at least 3 stores in the past 2 weeks. I also see the Nelson Brothers bottles. I had 1 store manager tell me they are making both labels instead of discontinuing the Belle Meade.
Thanks for the info! I woulda never guessed that
New Riff Malted Rye is incredible. It tastes like a better version of the Whopper candy
Cuvee is great. It’s 150 in VA, that was actually a deal. I think only total wine has it slightly cheaper in some states.
I loveeeeeed it!
The label on the world society bottles or whatever they called is a little too busy for me personally
What is the difference between the heart release and the maker’s 46 cask strength. isn’t the heart full french oak and isn’t that what 46 is?
I seen you ran into Davin... While you were in Mac's
Yupp seemed like a nice fella to me
Found a Great liquor store on the west side of Houghton lake in michigan on old 27. ALOT of juice that you NEVER see in a smaller town in this state anyway . 😉🥃👍 Cheers
Oh wow! If I am ever that way i’ll certainly swing by!
That's a great price for that kentucky Owl Takumi!
Never had it? Is it worth it?
Afternoon BH, Is the Whistlepig 12 a good drop ? i see on your vids they are around the $150 USD mark and I passed one up last week on a local trip to Tasmania for around $75 USD.... Should i kick myself ? 🍻
Yes! 😅 $75 USD for that is unheard of
@@Bourbon_Hunter Dammit, now i know how you feel when you walk past one and then get "educated" by your followers lol But is it a good drop ??
Buy the NR 6 year malted rye. I always have one. Until the 8 year came out, it was my favorite NR bottle
Dude that Senator is the best 6 year mgp rye on the market. It is one of my favorites
I would take it over JDSBBPR
Woahhhhhh thats a bold statement! I tried it and wasnt too impressed but I coulda been shocked from my first sample of the day
We missed you last week!
Where???
@@Bourbon_Hunter your upload I meant. It's become a Sunday tradition. 😂
Ayeeeee! Thank you for always watching! I wasnt feeling the best after July 4th and couldn’t finish the video 🙃
107 for a half gallon weller SR is absolutely laughable. That’s absolutely nuts.
Yeah thats about standard around these parts sadly
I traded for a GTS. Its heavenly
I saw a Willet purple top yesterday in small-town America. Also a little book.
How much was the Willett Purple Top
Going for?
@@Bourbon_Hunter picked one up in Maine for $199.99 yesterday
Brooo 1300 for George t, it don’t even sell here for 800
😂 your heading is an age long question well over a decade ago lol
That knob creek bourbon - rye is great. Found it In Tulsa and jumped on it . Shoulda bought two.
I love it!
@@Bourbon_Hunter I also came across a 13th colony in this little liquor store in Joplin Missouri. Oklahoma doesn’t have it , nor did any store in Springfield Missouri. Not sure how they got it and the rye, but I jumped on it. Really good.
So they have Benchmark, Buffalo Trace and Weller behind glass, but BTAC's out on the shelf?
Little Book Ch 8 is 🔥...but $213 is a bit steep
"New" ECBP A124 😂
Just hit the shelfs here in SC we typically get stuff a little later
That Vatted rye is a buy all day. I wish i could find a backup
A local guy says he will bring it to the bottle share next month so im looking forward to trying it!
@15:04 scope that discontinued Calumet 14 year
Wish I would’ve known you were coming. Could have shown you around some other small honey holes
Bummer! I typically roll in randomly my bad!
That Senator is a smoooooth pick up go get it
Smooooooth expensive MGP
That New Riff is 👍🏽
Noted! Thank you!
Do I look faster 🏃🏽💨😂😂
Welll???
Can we see the personal collection idk if I missed it but haven’t seen your stash yet
I made one over on Patreon but not here on the main channel!
I got a MM Heart release yesterday from a Total Wine for 72 bucks!
What a steal!! 🥃
You did indeed look faster
40 yard dash at the end of each video till the end of the year?
Is that makers heart the best one in your opinion or like #2 behind the cellar age? Have only had regular makers and thought it was okay. Just too low proof for me
Makers Mark FAE-02 is my absolute favorite. Then either BRT-02 or FAE-01. Cellar Aged is Ranked #3 in my book. Its underwhelming for the hype. By no means is it bad! I just wish it wasnt so over hyped because I probably got my exceptions out of bounds
@@Bourbon_Hunter I felt the same on Jack Daniel’s 10. I just posted my review and I feel like I might end up banned for it lol 😬
if you want the little book costco has a fantastic price on it. 125 near me
Where is that?
@@mattschmitt9924 I'm in Mass
Let’s goooo 😎
Lezzzzzz go
I’m going to the pepper distillery in two weeks. While I’m there I’ll ask
PLZ DO! And report back 🫡
Quality was way better
Thats what im talkin ABOUT!!! Whoop!
@@Bourbon_Hunter catch you at the next bourbon share man
Where can I watch your reviews of your buys?
Patreon!
Not Cooper Craft its CopperCraft. I got burned on that at Packies. Copper neck band. 75% corn, 21% wheat, 4% barley. Single brl.
Packie pick?
Yes, $50 bottle $10 juice
Jack Daniels bottled in bond is a sleeper for like $45
You are so right! I enjoy that bottle a lot!
@@Bourbon_Hunterlove the flavor
😢
Shouted out!
Lasallae distillery burn down years ago
Crown royal blue bag and red bag will always go up
Thats wild to think a bottle of crown can be so expensive
@@Bourbon_Hunter also russel rickhouse first release camp Nelson (C) can no long be redone from what I understand the rickhouse was condemned and destroyed
So another one to for long term investment
Hey brotha is any of that uncle nearest any good?
I think so! I like all of the ones ive tried! Great story too
I know you didn’t ask me, but that 1856 is surprising! I found it to be fairly complex and very good.
Thank you both of ya, I seen a single barrel for sale on base and was gonna pick it up if it was a higher proof. I wrote this as soon as I clicked the vid and didn't realize you mentioned/spoke on it.
Makers mark BEP is wack
Whats your favorite makers mark?
@@Bourbon_Hunter would have to be makers mark 101. That BEP was nothing but sharpie on the nose and the palate for me and others. I had multiple people try it and they all said the same thing. I just poured it down the drain.
Don't get too hyped about Makers Wood Finishing 2024. First - its just Makers 46 cask strength. Second - It's a MASSIVE release. Don't pay over $75 for this bottle or you will be sad when you see it rotting on shelf after a few shipments from the distributor.
The Bourbon boom has faded. It's not busted but there is a MASSIVE decline in spending in 2024 over 2023. Just walk into a Total Wine and you might notice the Bourbon Aisles shrinking. Across the 5 stores in my area all of them have sacrificed a bourbon shelf to add other spirits (mostly Tequila). The market is contracting a bit this year and I think that trend continues into 2025 and 2026.
Hater.
I don't agree with it being 46 cask strength. 46 uses French oak staves where this one uses Virginia oak staves. That being said I'm a huge maker's Mark fan, but I don't like the 46 cask strength nor did I like this release.
Any Early Times BiB down your way? Can’t find it here in NC
Tons! They are quite literally everywhere
@@Bourbon_Hunter I know the black tops are gone but i never tried those so i am just looking for a bottle because it does get a lot of good reviews
Passed on Kc18 @ retail? Stopped watching
Go watch Fred Minnick we don’t want you here
