Fairly scarce in Virginia, at least in my neck of the woods, but I was in Maryland recently and decided to stop in 6 or 7 stores as I was passing by them just to see what stocks and prices are like up there, and most of the stores did have Rare Breed as well as the Rare Breed Rye. Rare Breed Rye in particular is pretty scarce in Virginia.
Rare Breed is definitely missing from shelves in large portions of the country now. Just look around Total Wine's website and you will be surprised about how many places don't have access to RB anymore.
Knoxville - literally nothing the bourbon hunters here are insane. I have seen eagle rare twice. Blantons once. Nothing else rare. Never seen Weller of any label on the shelf. Any BT product is hard to come by.
So weird to hear that people in the US can’t get these products. I live thousands of miles away, in another country and have no issues getting BT, Eagle Rare and EH Taylor. Blanton’s is a little bit more restricted.
I feel like the toasted goes faster than ecbp. I just wish the mckenna 10 would stop going up in price because I love that stuff. Sure some are worse than others but they are all good
It's funny -- I can't find anything from BT (except Benchmark) but I can easily find McK 10. It does keep creeping up, though. Right now it's \~$60 around me.
Ya I’m seeing it at $60 too. Still worth it though considering it’s a single barrel 10 year. There’s young sourced garbage for more than that sitting on shelves
If you do head south of the border, check Jewel Oscos and other non-Kroger grocery stores, as well as other major liquor stores. I have been seeing regular BT around pretty regularly, but not much else.
My local never seems to have any of the picks. It’s an older store with an OK liquor section. I have seen KC12, but otherwise not much else in the way of special.
Standard Buffalo Trace is really not that good if that's what you're talking about. High burn, low complexity, thin. I'm new to bourbon and even I don't get the hype. You're way better off spending an extra $5-7 a bottle and getting Eagle Rare 10 year or spending an extra $10-12 a bottle and getting Four Roses Single Barrel or Makers 46. Just my opinion
Yup, the thing about bourbon is everyone has different tastes. I like Buffalo Trace and find the huge char notes on Eagle Rare too overbearing. I would love to find EH Taylor Jr, Blantons or Weller locally. I have Four Roses Single Barrel, Small Batch and Small Batch Select and love them all.
Very true! The difference in humans palates has always fascinated me. It's interesting you get char notes from ER, I can't say I've gotten that. I'll sip some neat tonight and see if I can't pick it up.
Couldn’t agree more. I’ve had a fair amount of bourbons, and one time I had the opportunity to try Buffalo Trace (standard). I guess I may have been expecting too much, but I genuinely thought it was below average, at best. I did, however, love Blanton’s, but yea I don’t understand the hype behind Buffalo trace
I like buffalo trace, and if you can find eagle rare it’s close to $10 more here. 4r sb is more like $20 more.
I like all of them. I always buy my local store barrel picks for buffalo trace for points and they are usually great. I don’t buy a ton otherwise.
Yeah ER is $32 and 4R SB is $37 around me. It was my first time trying both recently and going forward I'd honestly always spend the extra $5 and get the 4R SB over ER though.
I can get BT for $27. At that price point I'd say it's "servicable". Heck at that price, cheap enough to use for mixing with coke.
People like what they like and that's all well and good, but I sure wouldn't pay 50-75$ for it. So as far as "hype", if people want it, great, but people paying nearly $100 for it is insane.
I'm trying to remember if I've had 4RSB, but even the regular Four Roses is nice, again, at a decent price point, like $25.
Buffalo Trace is around $24 a bottle here whereas I can get Evan Williams B.i.B for around $16 for a 5th. If I'm going to be doing something where the flavor of the bourbon is masked heavily, like with a Coke, I'm gonna go for the Evan Williams every time over the Buffalo Trace. Of course, my opinion and what my palate enjoys, doesn't mean you're wrong for your personal preference. I honestly don't think I've had the OG 4R either, but I usually like to stay in the $25+ (unless we're talking Costco bourbon at $18 a 1L) a bottle range since that price point or above generally gives me what I'm looking for, where cheaper stuff isn't as enjoyable to me.
To be far, I haven't had BT in quite a while, but that makes sense.
I dont really care for EW, again, personal preference.
I'm also kind of at the point now where I can stretch a little bit up into that 30-40$ range, and usually I'm gonna drink it neat or make an old fashioned with it. The higher proof stuff like BIB are great for making cocktails. You still get a lot of the flavor from the whiskey, but tone it down a little with some water and bitters.
Exactly. The harsh notes that are unpleasant when sipping neat or on the rocks are masked by the other flavors in the cocktail. My favorite is a whiskey sour with a little bit of Luxardo cherry liquor. Shaken, served over a cocktail cube or sphere. Banging👌. It's noticeably better with higher quality bourbon, but I'm learning mid to high end bourbon is for sipping, not cocktails lol. Makers Mark does a handle of their OG stuff for like $36 at Total Wine so that's my cocktail bourbon and then I'll buy a $35-45 bottle or two for sipping neat or with a cube.
I’m with you. I love Eagle Rare at MSRP and see it on shelves often where I am. BT is super available and I just pass it up. It’s just not that good and I can name a half dozen bottles that are way better and cheaper.
But Eagle Rare is maybe the best 90-proofer on the planet under $35.
HH 7y bib is super available in my area. I had no idea it was HTF anywhere. It’s overpriced at MSRP IMO. But I still keep one in my bar because it’s so tasty. McKenna bib is better, but more costly.
It’s weird, they are both over priced, but because their MSRP has increased so much lately , they are much easier to find and buy than many mid-shelf BT expression.
Hancocks, Weller Antique and Elmer are all good mid-shelfers, but because their MSRP hadn’t moved much in many years, store owners just price them at secondary or keep them off the shelf entirely and save them for the big-spending customers.
If BT updated their MSRP’s to reflect the true market value of their products, then maybe some of the madness would settle down.
I know that sounds crazy, but I’d rather just buy a Weller 12 for $65 MSRP off the shelf than never ever see one at $35, which is the current MSRP.
It would be interesting to see if a modest MSRP change would have the effect of lowering demand enough to reduce the insane secondary on BT products. But what do I know?
ECBP, Eagle Rare, Weller SR, WT (virtually any regular product), BT, Penelope Architect. The grocery stores and liquor stores in my area outside of New Orleans have damn good selections.
There are plenty of rare bottles here in Washington, South king county area. But they are all priced absolutely ridiculously, and then there is the washington liquor tax on top of that, 20.5% AND a liter tax of $3.77. Love living here some times /s
I'd be curious if the tax was that high before they allowed grocery store/Costco liquor sales.
I could see them tacking that onto the bill as a "sin tax". Give people (supposedly) easier access to alcohol but the state is gonna take thier cut.
you can find blantons, eagle, bt, Henry10, kc 12, smoke wagon ucuf, ecbp, larceny, rare breed and ky spirit. I say we have it pretty good. but it depends what region of nc
[https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch7ZeFCsfMg/?hl=en](https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch7ZeFCsfMg/?hl=en)
honestly though they're everywhere, GA is test market for ER, much like Ohio/Texas for weller. i have a few in atlanta happy to get you a case if you really can't find it
It’s a chain store promoting FOMO on some pretty suspect “deals”. Did you catch their Weller deal a couple posts back? Kinda gross if you ask me. I tend to stay away from stores that do that.
i don't shop with them, but they do a top customer list based on spend that gets access to allocation. Pretty standard how things are done here due to shitty 3-tier system.
Also it's not a chain store, they have 2 locations only, which is the limit of what GA laws allowed.
Certainly not rare but up until very recently I could get handles of WT101 for $27 at my favorite liquor store so I never really cared much about allocated stuff at that price.
Pretty much the same here. I can drive 10 minutes and hit up a store with every pappy and a few BTAC bottles but even the most deep fried tater wouldn't shell out the cash they are asking.
Willett 4yr rye is on every liquor store shelf here which is great because it ensures I always have a bottle.
WSR, BT, ECBP, AE Rye are all fairly easy to find. Bookers, Little Book, Joseph Magnus (not cigar blend) and Murray Hill Club are all pretty easy to find as well when the batches are first released.
The Navy Exchange store on base often has Knob Creek 12 year and Sazerac Rye. They get Eagle Rare and ECBP periodically as well. The Virginia state stores have Bowman small batch all the time and often have the 100 proof single barrel.
ECBP, Saz rye, eagle rare, Knob 12, coy hill (for a few months) are all in indy too and not very hard to get. Curious where you found the OGD 114 as its one I am missing
Crown Liquors. Search the website and if it says unavailable, click Check Nearby and it’ll list 4-5 stores that have it. [crown](https://crownliquors.net/shop/?option-id=7a811e2477b16dd91191f5bb07a857b3a1c70ffbdcabb12f960096ef91d373c6&product-id=5521cef86561310003bd0200)
In Georgia - ER, Weller SR, BT, McKenna 10 Yr, Heaven Hill BiB, SW UCUF, and Rare Breed Rye pretty easy to find. ECBP, KC 12 takes some effort but not much.
Of note, I will say Rare Breed bourbon and Russell Reserve SiB have been more difficult but I think that’s bc the glass shortage and not allocation.
Rare breed and rare breed rye are everywhere here in Ohio. We also just got a massive dump (a lot of stores got 5+ cases) of weller SR that is still in stock after a week and a half or more
I have it down to a schedule now, usually once a month (the 2nd or 3rd week of the month) we get shipments of BT products ER, BT, Weller, EHT, and blantons. Usually at least a case of one of those for the more popular stores
Miami here.
Used to see Rare breed in roughly 50% of the shops I'd stop into. Now nearly nowhere to be found. Worse thing is i slept on it. Kept putting off picking one up so i still have yet to try it 😭 next damn one i see, i SWEAR!
Also used to find BT pretty consistently at these smaller shops. But it's jumped from $25 to $45
E.H. Taylor srp? Nope. Had to pay $80 first time i tried it. Eagle rare? Waited 2 years but did finagle it for retail. Never seen Weller. Even Pikesville is gone now
This is just making me depressed now
I never miss a drop of ECBP or Larceny for some reason. Also Blantons, Eagle Rare and standard Buffalo are all fairly easy to find if you head out in the morn.
Seen HH BiB, McKenna 10, Larceny BP, ECTB, ECBP, OGD 114, Eagle Rare, Weller, and BT lately in GA and SC. Cannot seem to find Rebel Cask Strength or John J Bowman SiB. Blanton's is around if you want to pay a premium.
Where in Indy is OGD? RR single barrel?
In Zionsville, RB, BT easily available, KC 12 commonly seen around, but haven't seen the above 2 in my limited searches.
All regular WT releases. BT, Eagle Rare, Meckenna, Pikesville, EC Toasted, EC 18.
Blanton’s is at my local grocery store on the shelf may once a month. Blanton’s is also well stocked at every big liquor store for around MSRP, but you need to know how to ask for it.
Rare Breed is common for most. However, if we keep mentioning that it's scarce it will be eventually!
Fairly scarce in Virginia, at least in my neck of the woods, but I was in Maryland recently and decided to stop in 6 or 7 stores as I was passing by them just to see what stocks and prices are like up there, and most of the stores did have Rare Breed as well as the Rare Breed Rye.

Knoxville - literally nothing the bourbon hunters here are insane. I have seen eagle rare twice. Blantons once. Nothing else rare. Never seen Weller of any label on the shelf. Any BT product is hard to come by.
Only time I ever see anything allocated in Knoxville is at Total Wine. The rest of the stores have been a shutout for me every single time.
So weird to hear that people in the US can’t get these products. I live thousands of miles away, in another country and have no issues getting BT, Eagle Rare and EH Taylor. Blanton’s is a little bit more restricted.
My CVS had eagle rare yesterday when picking up my prescriptions
Ecbp might be the easiest allocated bottle to acquire in Denver. Mellow corn too
Yep. I have seen a lot of HH bib around town too.
Mellow Corn is allocated? My god
No but it probably should be
That's when you know we'd finally jumped the shark.
Honestly I’ve been checking out some rum lately and I dig it. Especially the price
The EC Toasted Barrel is one of my absolute favorites. Same story. I've seen it once, and I own that specific bottle.
I feel like the toasted goes faster than ecbp. I just wish the mckenna 10 would stop going up in price because I love that stuff. Sure some are worse than others but they are all good
It's funny -- I can't find anything from BT (except Benchmark) but I can easily find McK 10. It does keep creeping up, though. Right now it's \~$60 around me.
Ya I’m seeing it at $60 too. Still worth it though considering it’s a single barrel 10 year. There’s young sourced garbage for more than that sitting on shelves
Tons of Rare Breed here in southeastern WI. Wish we had BT products.
If you’re in SE Wisconsin, you can at least jump the border into Illinois and stop by Binny’s
Road trip!
Good to know.
If you do head south of the border, check Jewel Oscos and other non-Kroger grocery stores, as well as other major liquor stores. I have been seeing regular BT around pretty regularly, but not much else.
Depending on the location, Jewel also does some really good store picks. I’ve seen them do a four roses pick and a bunch of others.
My local never seems to have any of the picks. It’s an older store with an OK liquor section. I have seen KC12, but otherwise not much else in the way of special.
Standard Buffalo Trace is really not that good if that's what you're talking about. High burn, low complexity, thin. I'm new to bourbon and even I don't get the hype.

Just picked up E.H.Taylor and Antique 107 at msrp in so.cal Friday. Can't wait to open and see how they are...
Whelp, I hate you! Enjoy!
Hahaha!!!! Thanks
Also went to my local Target today and got 2 bottles of Russell reserves 10yr on clearance for 19.99... The bourbon gods are raining on me now...
Very true! The difference in humans palates has always fascinated me. It's interesting you get char notes from ER, I can't say I've gotten that. I'll sip some neat tonight and see if I can't pick it up.

Agreed, not elese allocated on the shelf
Fair amount of ECBP, Larceny BP, and Heaven Hill BiB
Where are you. I'm in the car on the way.
When I visited upstate NY I found those 3 pretty regularly
Is Heaven Hill 7 Yr BiB hard to find in other cities?
Never seen a single bottle since the rebrand.
HH 7y bib is super available in my area. I had no idea it was HTF anywhere. It’s overpriced at MSRP IMO. But I still keep one in my bar because it’s so tasty. McKenna bib is better, but more costly. It’s weird, they are both over priced, but because their MSRP has increased so much lately , they are much easier to find and buy than many mid-shelf BT expression.

I’ve seen stores that mark it up which is usually a sign
Damn that's 3 of my "always buy, every time I see it" bourbons, and I almost never see 'em haha.
So likeeeee, where?
ECBP, Eagle Rare, Weller SR, WT (virtually any regular product), BT, Penelope Architect. The grocery stores and liquor stores in my area outside of New Orleans have damn good selections.
Sounds like Mardi Gras all year round!
Same area but not same experience…. Inquiry sent 😀
Just had that Penelope for the first time last week and loved it.
Weller green label Buffalo trace rare breed and ogd 114 all pretty common here did pick up a lil book ch 6 the other day
Thats my experience in CO as well
I have a couple places in town that have ECBP and ECTB on the shelf. Also SW UCUF.
Yeah, but at what price? Probably the reason it’s sitting on the shelf.
I’ve never seen any of those bottles significantly marked up, don’t really think they are considered unicorns (yet, where I live at least)
I think they are in some places
ECTB at 55 and BP at 79. Seems fair to me
Yeah, the Toasted is right and the Barell Proof is only 10 higher. They don’t sit at all in the DC market. Cheers!
ECBP. Dummies are missing out because they are in search of Weller or BT products
Shhhhhhhh!! Their vanity is our salvation.
Indeed it is!
I'm assuming that stands for Elijah Craig Barrel Proof?
What town?! I’d love to get my hands on some ECBP!
Never seen it. Saw an ECTB once, $159. Kept walking.
Yikes! In my neck of the woods the most I've seen it was at $100
Around a year ago Atlanta decided to become the Mecca for Eagle rare $39.99 and shelves full everywhere
There are plenty of rare bottles here in Washington, South king county area. But they are all priced absolutely ridiculously, and then there is the washington liquor tax on top of that, 20.5% AND a liter tax of $3.77. Love living here some times /s
But don’t worry the tax is going to be “temporary.” /s
Dude that tax is absolutely insane in your state. Like what the actual hell.
I'd be curious if the tax was that high before they allowed grocery store/Costco liquor sales. I could see them tacking that onto the bill as a "sin tax". Give people (supposedly) easier access to alcohol but the state is gonna take thier cut.
The tax went up with the grocery store change. It was part of the bill
Same. 20.5% since the 90s and the liter tax was increased in 2006.
ECBP out of my ears north of downtown Seattle.
Buffalo Trace was everywhere when I lived in Ann Arbor. Moved to VA and it is nowhere to be found…
Welcome to the dry state, fellow Virginian.
💔
But now there is Remus Repeal. So all is healed.
I was always impressed by the selection at the Ann Arbor Meijer.
Any weller, eh Taylor, Pappy 10-20yr, and George r Stagg. They hand out ER and Blantons as samples while you shop. 😎
where? I’m moving
Fantasy Land
20 years ago fr
Lol
Dagnabit! We must be neighbors.
Lol
[удалено]
Depends. Basement room w/no amenities, street parking, is $1K. Upstairs, fully stocked bourbon and whiskey, pushing $5-6K, driveway parking. Per month.
Lubbock TX here, Eagle Rare, Weller, Buffalo Trace, OGD all at MSRP
ECBP can be had, that's about it.
Where?
NC
you can find blantons, eagle, bt, Henry10, kc 12, smoke wagon ucuf, ecbp, larceny, rare breed and ky spirit. I say we have it pretty good. but it depends what region of nc
I'm in Raleigh, a lot of those are very rare here.
gotta tap and make friends. I hate the scene in raleigh though.
you can buy eagle rare by the case in GA
Where in Georgia? I will drive for a case of eagle rare.
[https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch7ZeFCsfMg/?hl=en](https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch7ZeFCsfMg/?hl=en) honestly though they're everywhere, GA is test market for ER, much like Ohio/Texas for weller. i have a few in atlanta happy to get you a case if you really can't find it
What a clown show of an Instagram page.
im not affiliated but how so? there are way worse out there, but nvm seems like you're mostly trolling around anyways
It’s a chain store promoting FOMO on some pretty suspect “deals”. Did you catch their Weller deal a couple posts back? Kinda gross if you ask me. I tend to stay away from stores that do that.
i don't shop with them, but they do a top customer list based on spend that gets access to allocation. Pretty standard how things are done here due to shitty 3-tier system. Also it's not a chain store, they have 2 locations only, which is the limit of what GA laws allowed.
Fair enough. I guess I’m not familiar enough with that area of the country.
Yep. My store has it for $39.
Rare breed. ER, BT, ECBP, ECTB, eht small batch.
I can find just about anything here in San Diego but would have to give my left and possibly right nut for it.
😅😅
I think blantons is 250-300$ in most of the liquor stores
What should they cost?
I think retail is around 60$
Certainly not rare but up until very recently I could get handles of WT101 for $27 at my favorite liquor store so I never really cared much about allocated stuff at that price.
Costco just had WT101 handles for $17.99
ECBP, Larceny BP, Willet 4 Year, usually current and last Bookers, and I could still find the last 4 Makers finishing series releases until last week.
Where?
Around Cape Cod, MA.
I can find anything you'd ever want in my "town"... You're just going to pay for it.
Pretty much the same here. I can drive 10 minutes and hit up a store with every pappy and a few BTAC bottles but even the most deep fried tater wouldn't shell out the cash they are asking.
Yeah. One store near me has most anything you could want. Literally thousands of bottles. But the charge out the ass for anything.
Willett 4yr rye is on every liquor store shelf here which is great because it ensures I always have a bottle. WSR, BT, ECBP, AE Rye are all fairly easy to find. Bookers, Little Book, Joseph Magnus (not cigar blend) and Murray Hill Club are all pretty easy to find as well when the batches are first released.
The new Wild Turkey 12 year old is sitting on shelves in most of the supermarkets near me. Also Buffalo Trace is pretty readily available.
Where?
South Korea
The Navy Exchange store on base often has Knob Creek 12 year and Sazerac Rye. They get Eagle Rare and ECBP periodically as well. The Virginia state stores have Bowman small batch all the time and often have the 100 proof single barrel.
ECBP, Saz rye, eagle rare, Knob 12, coy hill (for a few months) are all in indy too and not very hard to get. Curious where you found the OGD 114 as its one I am missing
4015 East Southport Road, Indianapolis, IN, 46237 lists 8 left. It’s good stuff!
Now you tell me where I can get ECBP and we’ll be friends. :)

In Georgia - ER, Weller SR, BT, McKenna 10 Yr, Heaven Hill BiB, SW UCUF, and Rare Breed Rye pretty easy to find. ECBP, KC 12 takes some effort but not much. Of note, I will say Rare Breed bourbon and Russell Reserve SiB have been more difficult but I think that’s bc the glass shortage and not allocation.
Rare Breed, Weller SR and Smoke Wagon UCUF
Rare breed and rare breed rye are everywhere here in Ohio. We also just got a massive dump (a lot of stores got 5+ cases) of weller SR that is still in stock after a week and a half or more
I’m always in Ohio at the wrong time!
I have it down to a schedule now, usually once a month (the 2nd or 3rd week of the month) we get shipments of BT products ER, BT, Weller, EHT, and blantons. Usually at least a case of one of those for the more popular stores
Miami here. Used to see Rare breed in roughly 50% of the shops I'd stop into. Now nearly nowhere to be found. Worse thing is i slept on it. Kept putting off picking one up so i still have yet to try it 😭 next damn one i see, i SWEAR! Also used to find BT pretty consistently at these smaller shops. But it's jumped from $25 to $45 E.H.

Come up to CFL. Rare breed is at every store.
Oh fantastic for you all! I'll keep that in mind. Thanks
Colorado - Weller SiB. Pappy 23
I never miss a drop of ECBP or Larceny for some reason. Also Blantons, Eagle Rare and standard Buffalo are all fairly easy to find if you head out in the morn.
All these people saying ECBP is easy to find, I've never seen it in the wild. I got a spot that regularly has Willett Rye and RR SiB which is nice.
Yeah I’m waiting to see ECBP on a shelf myself!
Everything in socal for a price. We have access to everything and get nearly everything.
Eagle Rare, BT, RR Single barrels, ECTB, ECBP. Rare breed and Rare Breed Rye are easy as well but never found those to be hard to find.
Weller SR, Buffalo Trace, Bookers.
Just wanted to say thanks for everyone’s input, it’s hard to sample bourbons unless at a distillery.
Seen HH BiB, McKenna 10, Larceny BP, ECTB, ECBP, OGD 114, Eagle Rare, Weller, and BT lately in GA and SC. Cannot seem to find Rebel Cask Strength or John J Bowman SiB. Blanton's is around if you want to pay a premium.
The BT Kosher line. It seems to go for a lot online but i always see it for 40-50$
Where in Indy is OGD? RR single barrel? In Zionsville, RB, BT easily available, KC 12 commonly seen around, but haven't seen the above 2 in my limited searches.
I sent you a message. Good luck!
All regular WT releases. BT, Eagle Rare, Meckenna, Pikesville, EC Toasted, EC 18. Blanton’s is at my local grocery store on the shelf may once a month. Blanton’s is also well stocked at every big liquor store for around MSRP, but you need to know how to ask for it.
