mmmmm, bourbon.
I'm late joining the discussion but never miss a good bottle.
Lately I've been digging Bombergers bourbon out of the Michter's distillery. I'm a big fan of Michter's (esp the toasted barrel stuff) and this is a step over their standard shelf bourbon, slightly sweeter but balanced by the proof.
If you see it, grab it.

Y'all want some advice on how to increase your odds of getting that bottle you have your eye on? Pick a store, preferably one that does a pretty decent volume. Get to know the employees. Buy EVERYTHING from them. Not just a bottle of booze here and there. Go there for every 6-pack, every bag of ice, 2-liters, gift sets, anything they sell- buy it from them. Support the mom and pop shops and they will remember you. I'm in my local shop 3-4 times a week. Everyone knows me by name. Whether it's a bottle of Evan Williams BiB (an awesome and overlooked bourbon for ~12.99) or a bag of chips and a coke, I get it from them. They know what I like and they text me the day it comes in.

I also hate the waiting list crap. I miss the times of actually hunting it without everything being held out of sightLast edited by bphillips; 01-09-2020, 10:21 PM.
