david lam Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 Just wondering the on the current bourbon supply, specifically the allocated bourbons in your area. Here in the Dallas TX area, even some of the generic bourbons are now becoming scarce. I got really lucky in a lottery here….

Kml Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 I saw a bottle of that last year in a local Monmouth county NJ shop but $750 is too much for me. I got a Blanton’s a couple of weeks ago for $95. I do not see an issues with the “normal” stuff. LBI SurfRat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woowoo2 Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 I don't drink the stuff, but I am 30 min. from Bardstown, Ky. And I work with one of the "Beams" that runs the family reunions. plugchucker, david lam, DoOver and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blantons is a good drink, however at $95 is a bit stiff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean it's good but not secondary market price good. Been seeing a decent selection at a variety of shops. One place in NYC I popped into had a bottle of Pappy Family Reserve up on the shelf. It may have been the 23yr. Price was stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there are plenty of shops in the city with bottles collecting dust. I was always impressed by the shop in Rockefeller Center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
