Whiskey Wednesday: Buffalo Trace (and Friends) Edition

Good evening, y’all! It’s been a bit of a rough week here so far (I kinda feel like that’s the new normal in retail these days, amiright?) but I wanted to get something special out for y’all this week for Whiskey Wednesday tomorrow, what with the holiday weekend coming up and all. Please read this

Crown Royal 23-Year…Apple?!

Yup! Apparently, this is a thing. I honestly had no idea, but when a couple of my customers started asking for it and getting really excited, I had to look into it. You read it right: it’s a Crown Royal Apple (one of our most popular, best-selling flavored whiskies) but a special, highly-limited edition that’s

After Years of Waiting A Bourbon Industry Staple FINALLY Comes to Missouri!! (And it’s Priced Right, Too!)

Anyone that knows anything about bourbon knows Heaven Hill. They’re responsible for some of the most-recognized and most highly soft-after whiskies in America. I mean, who doesn’t know Evan Williams? It’s many people’s “bottom-shelf, on-a-budget go-to pour”. And why not? The quality is rock-solid, and it’s cheaper than dirt. When you have to ‘slum it’

Whiskey Wednesday: An Ode to Talisker Storm Single Malt

We finally were able to get some more of this in; it’s on sale with the distributor in May, so we figured we needed to stock up, and what better time to talk about it than Whiskey Wednesday?? Talisker Storm was one of the original ‘big-name’ NAS (non-age-statement) releases that, at its initial time of

Whiskey Wednesday: I Give You My OATH…and Other Stuff, Too!

Honestly, I’m really bummed to do it this way (we had fun stuff planned), but we had call-ins today, we have corporate visitors, and we were already running super behind, so we’re just going to have to do this on a first-come, first-served basis. The fine print: see below for the bottles we have (and

Whiskey Wednesday Drop: Rieger’s Bottled-in-Bond Straight Bourbon

So excited to finally have the new release of this guy available! This sold out almost immediately last year, but we lucked out and got a couple of six-packs this go-round. Missouri is really bringing the bourbon game of late, with phenomenal offerings from Ben Holladay and now this. Check it out! Here’s a little

Whacky Willett Whiskey Wednesday (Purple Top!!) Plus OGD 114!!

How’s this for unexpected, surprising, and flipping AWESOME on Whiskey Wednesday. Talk about an embarasment of riches! Check this out! The last (well, the only, really) time we received the Willett Purple Top Wheat we only got a couple of bottles and they sold immediately. Here we actually got a few bottles and, as such,

RYE Didn’t You Tell Us?! (Surprise Allocation Drop!)

This was a lovely surprise drop today, so major thanks to the good folks at Breakthru Beverage for hooking us up. The original go-round, we only scored a couple bottles of this, and they both sold off the counter before I could get a blog post up and then we had people asking for them

It’s Bourbon Time, Y’all (New Stuff and Allocations)!!

In addition to our regular stock of bourbons, from favorite marques to the best of the bottom shelf, we’ve got a couple of extra-special offerings for you today! The first is one we’ve been hearing about for awhile now, but is finally available to us here in Mid-MO. Ben Holladay “Soft Red Wheat” Bottled in

Happy Whiskey…Thursday?

First of all, I just want to say that I am so, so sorry. We’ve been trying to get some kind of whiskey drawing/release/etc every couple of weeks on Wednesdays, even though allocations have almost completely dried up in the new year. Today. Was. Nuts. Nothing went the way it was supposed to, we were
