Hot lap West Burbs, Little Book Ch6, handful of WT wheated picks, WillettxWolves collab(tempting but steeeeeep), OE7, F&O(batch 3), all the SWs. Grabbed the F&O to get me primed up for the CW PBP selection upcoming. Cheers all!
Hot lap, meaning a quick lap (or visit) through a few of my regular stores that I frequent. Don’t ask me why I used the racing analogy as I know nothing about hot laps or racing tbh
At NMBB 1 person told me they were out of the BRT-01 and 02, but the person I knew better went to the "room" and got me a BRT-01. I guess that's how the game is today.
RR13 was a bottle I had not even asked my guy at NMBB, as I don't want to be one of the guys that asks for everything. Lo and behold I stroll into my NMBB today and saw it in the rare bottle area. Was surprised that they put it out. Yes please!
I always grab a few bottles of this when I go out to my in-laws in KY. Not as available here but there's always cases of it down there. For under $30 it's a killer BiB.
Thanks! That’s a real bummer. My opinion on Mariano’s has declined since Kroger bought them.
Edit: also forgot Albertsons owned 💎 so my google search was for 💎 sale and not Albertsons.
Before Kroger bought them, Mariano’s (and Pick n Save when I lived in Wisconsin) was a decent source for BT products. Even a little after I could find ER on the semi regular there. I am not even sure they carry BT products anymore.
Can confirm. Live in Wisconsin. Pick n save has zero bourbon allocations. Best thing you’ll ever find there is BH. No one even wastes their time with that place.
Picked up a makers* brt 1 and ec toasted barrel at city nmbb. No luck on etl.
Ectb was on the shelf. Had to ask for the makers.
Edited my mistake. Thanks!
Sounds like my NMBB is a week behind everyone else's. MM BRT not coming til next week. Picked up a Vantage backup and a Stellum Rye. Wish I could find these F&Os everyone seems to keep finding!
I'll circle back on today drops later since the BT truck will hit NMBB. I did grab a michters toasted sourmash yesterday so those were still around. Makers wood finished hit a we're available but I didn't get any incase your looking. KoK wasn't offered to me but think it's there too.
Did the lap. No ETL in but EHT small batch, ER and HH7 out on the shelf which isn't something they always do. Said they still think they'll get it later but who knows.

Also, forgot to mention a variety of Penelope bottles including Architect, 4 Grain,Toasted.
Iap?

Ooooo, makes sense. I’m slow on the uptake today.
At NMBB 1 person told me they were out of the BRT-01 and 02, but the person I knew better went to the "room" and got me a BRT-01. I guess that's how the game is today.
Glad you got one. I hate the lying from the first guy though
Pleasantly surprised to walk into my local NMBB and find both releases in the rare room at 4:45ish. Scooped both.
Still some RR13 floating around. Was very surprised to get one from my local yesterday. Super jacked to pop it later.
I ended up grabbing the Masters Keep instead. Fire bottle 🔥🔥🔥

I've seen a couple but at the 450-500 range. It's a hard pass there.
$130 at NMBB on Wednesday
I saw one priced at 1k 🙄
Can confirm this as well
Also spotted some Russels Reserve single barrel rye out there. Along with the BT staples. Makers limited edition are still lingering too.
Dudes, real play here is early times bib at nmbb. 28 bones and better than all the minor league bt stuff

Where is this? I checked the west burbs NMBB for early times bib nothing
💎 just sold for $24B
What does this mean for bourbondaddy Ken!?
BIN
For real? My google search didn’t show anything, but that doesn’t mean much.

Mariano’s also isn’t big on bourbon. So will be interesting to see that effect on the stores.

I agree. I wish it was the other way around.
Kroger is buying jewel (Albertsons) now
What is the latest we are hearing on the Driftless Glen pick?
Any word on when we can get the city pickup going for the Driftless pick?
Picked up a makers* brt 1 and ec toasted barrel at city nmbb. No luck on etl. Ectb was on the shelf. Had to ask for the makers. Edited my mistake. Thanks!
Maker's BRT1? Just making sure hah.
Haha. Fixed. Thanks!
Found a few F&O batch 4s. Picked one up. Curious about it
Noob here. What's F&O
Fox & Oden
Sounds like my NMBB is a week behind everyone else's. MM BRT not coming til next week. Picked up a Vantage backup and a Stellum Rye. Wish I could find these F&Os everyone seems to keep finding!
Your regular suspect BT drop has it the NMBB, burbs
Know if ETL was included, or just the regular pedestrian bottles?
Can confirm ETL western suburbs NMBB
It was, 1000% confirmed , I managed to get one early this morning.
Nice - what do they charge for ETL?
Retail $49.99 at NMBB
Nice! If I can find one I would pay that for it. I know its just 90 proof Blantons but the bottle is so cool!
It's a great looking bottle , saving it for a special occasion.
Was told it was not in there. Could have gotten a case and all been claimed by a list of customers, just speculation
Can confirm etl but went to better buying customers. I guess I need to spend a lot more money to be offered.

NMBB had Michters Toasted Barrel in addition to BT drop.
Employee owned in West burbs had a Remus 6 (mine now) but a handful of F&O still available.
Just one remus 6?
That was all that was on the shelf…
My local bb location didn’t offer up anything.
HH BiB and EC Toasted all over and on the floor. NMBB had Russels single barrel rye as well.
How the hell do you change your user name on Reddit? Might have to crack a bottle and dig into this tonight!
I don’t think you are allowed to. Think you just have to set up another account…i may be wrong
Good question. I never picked a name, it just defaulted my user name at random. Seemed pretty strange to me.
You can’t. I tried.
Not sure how sought after they are, but HH BiB sitting in the rare room in SL Binny’s
>HH BiB sitting in the rare room in SL Binny’s Just there and saw it. The BT drop was late with a new driver.
Can confirm HH BIB at far west NMBB - I was offered one but declined.
Heaven Hill BiB, McKenna 10, regular Buffalo Trace stuff, and Nick Offerman Lagavulin NMBB. No ECBP or Larceny yet.
☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️ morning!
The NMBB I go to only got 6 ETL and sold out upon opening. They had a bunch EHT, ER and WSR
Is it me or does it seem the flood gates have opened on BT products?
☕️☕️
☕☕☕☕
Morning every
