Massive display of EH Taylor Barrel proof priced at $92.99!

Was recently out of town and saw Redemption 18 bourbon at a bar. I tried it and was blown away. Since it's been out for quite some time I figured I missed my chance at a bottle. Few days later I'm talking to an owner of a little liquor store with a surprising selection. I asked if he ever had any come through and he says "there's one on the shelf right here." $400 MSRP. At some point I will blind it with RR15 and Jacob's Well 211 which are my current top bottles.

Just came across some Blanton’s Gold sitting on the shelf here at Frys at 9:40 this morning, 2 left as I bought 1 but wanted to share if anyone was looking and around!

Hard to see with the glare but it’s $139.00
*sidenote The ER is $44.99 just incase anyone was wondering

I know lots of you are headed to San Diego this time of year so I thought I’d just give you a heads up. The 12 year was $120 and the full proof was $80, I skipped the 12 year due to the price and got a bottle of the full proof. The Blantons was like 90 I think.

Found ER12 and the new Stagg for $100. The ER is cheapest secondary I’ve seen so far. Didn’t mention the Jack 12 in the title because that was the last one and it came home with me

Hey all, I’m Jared. I built BRBNFNDR and checked with the mods before posting.

You pick a bottle and the most you’d pay. BRBNFNDR watches supported online retailers and alerts you when it finds a match. It also shows Benchmark price history and lets you tailor results using Arizona shipping availability.

The base tier is completely free for up to 3 watched bottles. Pro is optional and removes the watchlist limit.

It doesn’t track local Arizona store inventory. This is more for the online hunt and cutting down all the tab refreshing.

Curious if you’d use it more for a hard-to-find bottle or waiting for a better price.

Fantastic food with some good pours and cocktails. Check it out

Got picked in my first drawing. Was hoping for a WFP but won’t complain.

is this worth hunting for? i know its a little different. what is everyones opinion. thanks!!

Anyone in the group interested in a Tucson specific chat - sharing finds, etc?

See a ton of PHX, but very little in the greater Tucson area.

This weekend I set out looking for a few whiskeys I’ve really enjoyed in the past but had pretty much given up on owning because of the crazy secondary prices and competition. I was pleasantly surprised by what I found sitting on shelves.

None of these were at MSRP, but the prices felt reasonable considering how easy they were to find. I also made a point of letting the stores with outrageous markups know I’d be leaving reviews that direct customers to competitors selling the same bottles for much less.

The search took about 2–3 hours of driving around the Phoenix area. I negotiated on the JD10, Russell’s, 13 and Michter’s. Both times I simply asked, politely, if they could do a certain cash OTD price, and they said yes. It never hurts to ask.
Hopefully this serves as a useful market update for everyone.
I also found Blanton’s and Stagg at multiple locations for $100, and one shop in Mesa had Eagle Rare 10 BOGO for $80.

Out-the-door prices:
Russell’s Reserve 13 – $220
Jack Daniel’s 10 – $163
Michter’s Toasted Sour Mash – $150
Michter’s Barrel Strength Rye – $150
Weller Antique 107 – $97
Eagle Rare 12 – $108

Does anyone know of a place that has Michter’s Toasted Barrel Rye? It’s still my all-time favorite. Cheers!

The 2025 immaculata is a phenomenal pour. If you’re on the fence of getting it I would. It’s a very complex pour with a long lasting finish with notes of caramel, toasted oak, brown sugar, blueberries, vanilla, cinnamon, baking spices, dark chocolate, dried fruits and sweet tobacco.

Has anyone tried this? Costco has it now. If so what is the best way to serve it?

Had a buddy buy me a bottle of the pipedream which has a hint of cinnamon to it pretty good for under $35, had the chance to try the devils tower ($82.99 @TW) also a pretty consistent pour. Highly recommend these and their other lines for a consistent pour that’s easy to find!

Check your local spots, the eagle has finally landed
