I haven't seen it around anywhere. Do you know if someone in town has it stocked?

Found a bottle in Covington. Haven't found any in Lafayette. Will check out Champagnes per J's post above. That stuff is smooth.

One thing the guys on the "whiskey tribe " preach is to be responsible. By the end of some of their videos you can tell they are a little tipsy. Given their position in their business they obstain from all alcoholic beverages for one week a month. That way they can tell if they are becoming dependent.

Hell, that would be a real challenge!!

I second the selection at Nunu's! That goes for craft beer as well.

Unfortunately for some of our local stores, but good for some of us they are opening a Total Wine & more on Ambassador. When I was living on the left coast they typically had the best prices and you could find just about anything. Basically the wal-mart of alcohol, similar to a Bevmo but better prices.

Blanton's

$200 to $260 online.

Is that the norm?

Last time I bought a bottle of Blanton's it was about $60. That was over a year ago. Haven't seen it for sale in town since then.

This place has it at 270.00 a bottle

Usually always have Buffalo Trace on hand for cocktails. Eagle Rare and Basil Hayden’s for sipping. Eagle Rare is really good at its price point.

Been drinking more rum lately and picked up a bottle of Plantation from Marcello’s. Rum seems to be a lot easier on the wallet, even the top shelf stuff.

Been drinking Longbranch bourbon recently. Very nice! Under $40.
From the Wild Turkey family of bourbon. Oak and Texas mesquite charcoal refined.
Definitely recommend a try!!

I 2nd the recommendation. Longbranch is some of the finest Wild Turkey that I have tasted. 101 will aways be my favorite bourbon of all time.

For those who go to NuNu's, ask them if they have any NuNu's specials. Around Christmas they had a NuNu's special from Buffalo Trace. I went a couple weeks ago and they had some Bayou Rum Special (selected by NuNu's).

Dont know how often they do it but they will visit various distilleries and select a barrel to be bottled and only sold at their store.
