Looking for high end liquor store
 

Anyone know where I can find some Weller 12yr old and Weller antigue 107 bourbon. Also, looking for some Angels Envy Rye and Kentucky Owl.

Do they cost a lot more than say....Jim Beam?

Inquiring minds want to know.

I don't drink anymore. I was never any good at it.

I Googled it. It says the 12 year is available at Total Wine.

Walmart.com says the both Weller's can be bought in store.

Guess that makes Walmart Liquor stores high end.


.

google et al are problematic but that's another thread.

booze has never been part of my life. I judge the quality and price by the appearance of the bottle:)

Nearest Total Wine is 40 miles away .. I live in Atlanta most of time right now, and we have several Totals near me. While they have a great selection of Bourbons, Ive never seen Weller there.. Before taking the ride, i would certainly call and have them set aside .. I'd be especially surprised if they have the antique.. a quick search of altamonte springs total says that weller not available in the store ..

Popular small batches are hit and miss at total .. for example, they get small quantities of Eagle Rare, a great under 30 bourbon .. I;ve never seen willett there either, but they always have ample supplies of elijah 12 and 20, as well as woodford and others ..

And to the wisecracking responders, no, they are not like Jim Beam ..

I havent been down there enough to try and find hole in the wall package stores that might carry the "top shelf" bourbons. BTW, about 4 Christmases ago, my wife picked up two Pappy 15's for me at Total for an ungodly cheap price ..

Good luck .. ill look you up before i go down next time to see if i can bring you something from Atlanta

I do the same thing, especially with wine as it comes with some really neat labels. Beer is another story, there are too many brands and types of beer out there, would be very hard to choose what to drink so I don't drink any of it. A good fresh diet cola is what I like, 5 guys has a great selection in their machines. Diet caffeine free coke with vanilla is a good one. Back to the topic, the last time I drank bourbon was in 1966 split a fifth with a friend and haven't tried it since. I prefer white whiskey.

Go to Liquorama.net. They have it and will ship it. When ever I want something a bit unusual, they usually have it and at a decent price. Now if you really want a good bourbon try some Papa Van Winkle.

Thank You for the info.

I use wine-searcher (yeah... I know you want spirits) to find stuff. Click on the link below. I specified "kentucky owl rye", "USA", "FL" and checked "include ship to".

Order your stuff and have it shipped to you.

Actually with over 25 premium bourbons on my bar, Jim Beam still is the best. if it cost more it would be held in higher esteem. kind of like some wines.

I’ve bought both at ABC Liquor and or Winn Dixie. Love them both.

Publix at Colony is top notch, the manager will order you anything you want, check it out in person

I agree Liquorama best source for good bourbon. Our son lives near bourbon trail, and brings down new releases.

Oh yes, when my son lived in Louisville I went on the Bourbon Trail 3 times and have a "free" T-shirt. Lots of interesting Bourbon available, but I am a Maker's Mark gal. Also love Larceny, Angel's Envy, Buffalo Trace and Eagle Rare. Obviously I prefer whetted Bourbons to Ryes.

Went on the Liquorama website for grins. Prices are outrageously high compared to Total Wine in Orlando or other on line sites. If it's something you absolutely can't get anywhere else, fine. But for quite a few single malts, etc., there are better places to shop.

I went on Liquorama also and found a good price on Absolut Elyx. After you add in the shipping of $20, it wasn't much of a bargain.

I would not use them for stuff you can buy around here. Doesn't make sense. But if you are looking for something hard to find, they usually have it at a somewhat competitive price. And once you buy something from them, you get specials like free shipping or % discount coupons. I buy wine from them sometimes, but I always get free shipping. The OP was looking for items he couldn't source locally. This place had it. Not the place to buy everyday items. Only things hard to find elsewhere.

Does it really make difference? It's all colored (aged) moonshine and tastes like kerosene?:beer3::pepper2:

Like Good scotch or wine, whiskey is something you love or not. My youngest is Certified in scotch, I i’m certified in wine. I am not a fan of scotch and he is not a fan of wine. However we can both pick up a sample of wine or scotch, tell you what notes it has, tell you roughly where it’s came from, how old it is.

You continue to amaze me. My father was said to be able to discern the year and place the grapes were grown of the wine he tasted. He was a brewmaster by trade.

vintage bourbons
 

I have slowed down quite a bit on my drinking. I have several bottles of vintage bourbons I would like to sell that I know I will never get around to drinking. When I say vintage I'm talking about the 1970's era. Most bottles still have a tax stamp seal on the bottles. I can send someone pics to post. If anyone wants to pm me that's fine too.
