Jewel had Buffalo trace so I had to pick that up. Then turned the corner. Regular smoke wagon is 50%off, let's give that a try as well.

I've had good luck finding BT at my local Pete's grocery store. It's usually on the bottom shelf in a spot that most would overlook. The guy stocking the shelves knows what he's doing lol.

Your stores must hord that stuff and just put it out at different times too. Weve always gotten our deliveries out here at the end of the month for all Buffalo Trace products, both jewel here and binnys i shop at.... They put that stuff out and its gone in 30 minutes.
The very high end stuff they all hord and only distribute to known customers.

Feels like OF100 old fashioned night for me. Actually running low on that stuff now. Might need to resupply this weekend.

Stopped by Niche in Geneva last night and they have 1L BT for $30 and will be releasing daily bottles for Father’s Day coming up. EHT (small batch & single barrel), JJB single barrel, Remus, and more. Not quite MSRP but just a bit more. Definitely less than secondary pricing if you’re in a pinch.

They actually sell bottles? I thought that was a resturant

They are a restaurant but they have liquor to go, and they do their own barrel picks too! They list some bottles on their site and some you have to see in person. Their Blanton’s barrel pick and BT barrel pick are much tastier. Niche Liquor To Go

Do you have to dine there to buy, or can you just walk right on in and just pick up a bottle? I might check out what they have over the weekend for Fathers day and get my old man something.

Nope, you can walk in, you see the hostess booth, then to the left are all the bottles for sale! I was wondering if I should go get the JJBSB lol. I hope you find things that are good for your old man and/or maybe yourself!

Ended up going after dinner tonight. Got that liter bottle of BT for 30, They did have Blantons store picks and EH taylor small batch and single barrels too. The Blantons was like 165 and EH small batch was 80 and single barrel 185. Not the prices i'd be willing to pay for those. Good looking out on the Buffalo Trace though.

I agree, I have both of those from going to the distillery and finding them at Binny’s or Woodman’s to keep on hand. Just wanted to try the difference between their store pick Blanton’s and the usual (got it when it was less over a year ago). It’s great for those who have been looking for a long time and willing to pay a little more. BT liter is a great price and for cheap but great daily drinking, Very Old Barton for $12 each is accessible. They’ve had Early Times BIB for $30 on and off too. Glad you got to see it for yourself. I follow them on social for random releases.Ended up going after dinner tonight.

Nice! Hubby got Blanton’s from Binny’s Naperville yesterday so they must’ve released. I’ll have to check Carpentersville too since they allow one bottle per person per day.

One of my friends gifted this to me from Costco Mettawa. I thought it was only available at the brewery. Plan to open this in a bit.
