Looks like you had a successful Kentucky run! I saw zero Weller products on a shelf, but we didn’t go to Buffalo Trace cus we didn’t have enough time nor a reservation for a tour
It was hit or miss. 107s were $110ish, Full Proof $180ish, STAGG $180ish, Michters Barrel Strength Bourbon $200ish. Had to buy in bulk to get a deal. Bought 2 cases of Willett 4yr Rye so that helped.
In Michigan I have seen 107s $150/$175, Full Proof $275/$300, STAGG $300 and up, NEVER see Michters Barrel Strength Bourbon…
The prices are coming down, people are starting to get a few and the demand is tilted ever so slightly down. You still hear people pissing and moaning about prices. I’d rather pay a little more and enjoy with friends then be that wine ass crying about it every day.
I always recommend going to Buffalo Trace, you won’t get that super allocation but the distillery is open to walk around and you can even trail a tour going on if you want to. Plenty to see and do there.
I enjoyed Willett’s tour, Jim Beam is always great with the tasting bar and restaurant that has a real chief… plus they always have drops, Bardstown Bourbon Co tour was good, they have a great (expensive) tasting bar and the food is great to.
Bardstown is always fun, TODDYS Liquor and Evergreen Liquor are must stops. The Colton’s Steakhouse is solid and Mammys is a hit. Mammys bar is great too. Probably the best place to check for Pours. Old Talbots Tavern has a lot of bottles available for Pours to. The food has been hit and miss for me.
