This week we showcase a few old and new clips that are amazing examples of bottle shops that charge secondary prices and some that wont even sell you the bottles rather they have it on display.

I found a one room liquor store in GA, behind a gas station. They had ER for 39.99. I talked about how that's the best price I've ever found that for. Lady told me it was bc the distributor came in and saw they had it priced at 80. They said come down off that price or they'd stop giving it to them.

I looks like he is keeping 1 and selling the rest if he gets multiple. Buy the looks of it a lot of those he probably got at least 1 case or multiple. Its not like he has multiple of the same bottle. He has different releases of the same bottles but not the exact same bottles.
Excited to see what you do for a barrel pick!!! I just got back from a trade! I traded a guy two blantons an eagle rare and 50 bucks for a M10 bourbon, well because I was not too far from downtown louisville I stopped at michters and me and the old lady were able to do a bottle your own and I got bombergers. Then I hit a store on the same block and snagged an old forester single barrel barrel proof! Such an awesome day! Expensive one but a good one

That Jack SBBP Rye special release was my unicorn until they just start making it a mainstay for $65. So Whatever that shop is asking for is nuts because all you're paying or is the special release insignias because the barrel selection criteria are the same (at least that's the company line).

🤷🏻♂️ Who knows at this point
I had a bad experience with a Woodinville store pick. Was excited about the proof and it being local distilled and aged. The nose was nothing special. The taste was way too harsh, and had the worst finish of any whiskey I’ve tried. Ended up giving it to family who will use it in cocktails, even in an old fashioned it’s nothing special.

There’s no bubble hate gonna be bursting. The problem is MSRP is too low relative to market demand and that consistently been the case for the last decade. Every other market this happens in, MSRP eventually just creeps up. Exactly what happened in scotch whisky

Don’t be too hard on Total Wine. The big box stores less likely to gouge than dear old mom and pop. Shelf space is everything to them. They put it on the shelf so it can come off the shelf so they can put another on the shelf. They don’t want bottles sitting around waiting for daddy warbucks to come in.
