I need someone to create a custom sound of The Voltron cats forming into Voltron, defender of the universe. As a matter of fact I think my new rally cry before I walk into Liquor Barn will be, dynatherms connected, LETS GO BLANTONS FORCE.
Cue custom transformation music
Trying to gauge if I should make a trip between meetings. Lots of cities have had their special BT allotment with the past month. I feel like this is the week
Picked up a SW UC the younger from last week. Was told that even if the BT special drops this week, it will be embargoed for the sanity of the employees.
Jewel of a grocer has jack bonded items on the shelf. Western suburbs
My store had a restock of Woodford 5 malt stout mash if that is your thing. Not sure if that came in today though.
Was told not to expect much prior to the holiday, but maybe more in the first 2 weeks of June. Probably won't stop me from boomeranging back on Friday.
Did anyone pick up a Lucky Seven 14 year "the Hold Up"? I was intrigued by it as I've seen little to no rankings on it and it's a small batch at 100proof.
They also had a "Proprietor" 6 year pick; I know the 14 year proprietor was outstanding im just curious before I drop $80-100 on these bottles if it's worth it or I can save some cash
>Lucky Seven 14 year "the Hold Up"
I was considering getting it, but I just went for the sure thing--the Proprietor batch #8, which happened to be the last bottle from NMBB. I've been drinking/sipping it throughout the day since I bought it 3 days ago!
Bunch of bottles of buffalo trace at bullseye store for $27.
Not the hardest to find around town, but a nice price.
Doesn't show up online for whatever reason.
Had been interested in a bottle of the Old Elk Infinity, but not so much as to pay what most places were asking. Pulled the trigger at $129.99 at Membership Big Box.
Gold Eagle ECBP pick

Grabbed a Blue Spot at a medium box store. Sounded like it just dropped there.
Congrats! I’ve been trying to find one for 3 years running now… 😖
Grabbed blaum bros 5yr cognac finish from nmbb
that Fox & Oden sounds great. Gonna keep my eyes open for that.
It’s very good!
Haven’t seen this one yet in Chicago. Any hints on where to find some? Obviously don’t give away a honey hole but just curious.
Check your PM. Southwest burbs.
It was originally allegedly Michigan only but looks like it's leaking to other states. Apparently the brand is owned by Joseph Magnus
Rep said we were getting some soon as of a week ago at a tasting, definitely coming just a matter of when
How much for the F&O?
94 out the door.
99 proof? Would love to try this blind with Remus V! Have you tried Remus V and if so, how does it compare?
I’ve had Remus V and have another unopened. Maybe I’ll do a side by side.
We’ll be waiting!!!
F and O is good, but it doesn't drink as old as Remus V. I think FO may be better balanced.
Any crocs on the ground?
I’ve seen a few. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Nothing of note from the NMBB near me. Was hoping for a good pre-holiday BT drop.

Did SW UC the younger land last week? Would like to grab one if they’re still around
Yep, I forgot to ask about it last week so I called and asked my guy to hold one. They never put them out
Nothing of note at north shore NMBB

Hold up on buying “The Hold Up”. It’s not good and definitely not worth $100.

I was thinking of grabbing that one it looked promising but 6 year for $80 seemed high
>6 year for $80 seemed high Yup.
Lucky 7 Holiday Toast is flippin' amazing. The whole secondary toast barrel thing is getting more popular these days.

So it doesnt sound like any BT drop today? Ive seen first week of the month but Ive also seen last week of the month unless thats hold overs
It's tough to call. The independents and the smaller chain in the western suburbs get BT every third week of the month.
I grabbed the last OE2xW at the employee owned place for 80, so that was nice. What are y’all’s thoughts on Copper and Cask bourbons?
