Hard Drinkers, Lets Drink Hard (Spirits, Liquors and Cocktails)

@WhiskeySandwich Those aren’t real,so to speak,prices but the distillery’s suggested retail prices. There’s one liquor store near me,that once a year sells all that stuff at list price. People camp out overnight to get it. At a certain point they’ll tell people that they’re not getting anything. Everyone is only allowed 1 bottle.I’ve never done it,but one year I asked people on line if they were going to drink it or flip it? Everyone said they would be drinking whatever they got. Not sure I believed that.

oh MSRP, of course....like we're talking about cars LOL. When I see stores price gouging at more than say 5-10% thats pretty egregious and I take my business elsewhere. My one spot is true to MSRP where i get on their allocation list. I sure wouldn't flip anything i got at list price. I can't stand the scalping.
I also wouldn't camp out. If it's not flowing, i'm not putting in the effort or fight lol, I'll go find a perfectly good deal on the shelf. Thats how I do my business.

@Jett129 hell yeah.
there’s enough solid competition in the game that you can do that without having to settle. I still think Elijah toasted is my best-buy and it’s all over the place. I’d rather spend $60 on a bottle worth that much than some hard-to-find bottle worth half that. -

@Jett129 not yet, but I will be on the lookout for it now!

@WhiskeySandwich I haven’t tried it myself. But I have to get over to this particular store as they have it on sale.

@WhiskeySandwich I can’t even imagine how frustrating that is, struggling to find US made products in the US.. thanks for the heads up with the Sazerac Rye, I’ll keep my eye out for that. It’s only in the last few years I’ve discovered I much prefer bourbon over Irish. Got gifted a bottle of 101 one Xmas and the Irish tasted like water after so that was the end of that.
never really clicked with Scotch, only the smoky niche Mcallans. Love BT and up to quite recently Amazon would deliver a bottle to my door for £16. It’s currently at £23 a bottle. -
