Brought BTrace to the island with me. Heading home tomorrow so bringing back with me.

It is a small grocery store located under Silver Sides restaurant in West End by the roundabout. As an aside, if you’re staying in West End, Silverside is the only place where you can get a decent old-fashioned. In fact… It may be the only place in the West End where you can get any kind of old-fashioned. Most of these places don’t have any type of bourbon selection. Just scotch.

Scotch and Rum. I am heading to Guanaja, maybe talk them into a booze run before the ferry.

As an aside, Eldon’s grocery store sells Yuengling beer by the case! That was a bit of a surprise as well.

I was just there but from a cruise ship, all the Woodford and BT I could drink on the boat Big Grin

Last year I was in Poland, the BT was about $20 for 750 ml. I guess because of the exchange rate being a lot better on the Zloty and Euro than it was

We recently took a cruise to Alaska, Blanton’s was part of our drink package; so I was drinking Blanton‘s old fashions in the cigar lounge!

Meanwhile in Minnesota, there’s zero chance of finding it on the shelf, 100% chance that it will be well over MSRP if they have it behind the counter, and most likely that it’s already been allocated to friends of the store.

Sing it brother. I had a chance to buy a bottle at a local store for $125 and just couldn't do it. Saw 2 bottles in Chaska a few weeks ago for $235 each. A Michter's 10yr Rye was $350. It's insanity.

My Brother called me yesterday, all giddy. He has been chasing Bourbon for a couple of years.

Ohio stores have been receiving A Lot of Buffalo Trace offerings this week. Buffalo Trace, Antique 107, Eagle Rare and Blanton's.

He scored his first bottle of Blanton's yesterday at Deer Park Deli. He asked me for other delivery dates for local stores.

Today he called from the Sharonville store, after scoring his second bottle of Blanton's.

As I reminded him, it ain't about the juice, it is all about the hunt. You never forget your first score!

For the Trifecta, he picked up his third bottle at the Madeira store today.

He cannot believe it.

I really want to try the Old Forester Whiskey Row Bottled-in-Bond but it looks like a limited release. Oh well, it was too expensive anyways.
