Indeed. I'm on the lookout for another bottle although I doubt another 22a will fall my way. Just taken aback at the price increase since the last time I bought it. A local source said they came across it at $170. Hoping they come across another at that price.

It's not so bad. Once a month the local ABC holds a lottery drawing to see who gets to buy a bottle of Buffalo Trace....one. :rolleyes:

How much do they charge? We charge 29.99…

Also get about 4-5 cases a month and just put it out for the locals to buy.

The gubment ruins everything

Yessir. That's the stone cold truth. $45+. Local store even ran out of regular woodford this month. Just a ridiculous and overpriced situation. I just stock up when I visit family or go anywhere across state lines.

There certainly stores here that price it high but we don’t. I see both sides of it

There’s no reason for a store to run out of all of woodford though lol

We don't seem to have that problem here in TN where I live. Both large stores always seem well stocked with most items. Prices have jumped. Russell's Reserve 10 is now around $50ish. Two years ago it was $33. But, one of the stores has a special on Crown Blackberry which I 've heard can be elusive. REgular price $45. By two or more $30 each. But, this store is also higher priced than the one I normally shop accross town when I do go. I wouldn't call myself a regular.

Was going to get woodford as a xmas gift for my son-in-law only to see no woodford other than a single bottle of their double oaked so he's a winner on xmas morning. Silver lining I guess. What puzzles me is that certain distilaries apparently refuse to deal with the state boards and just bypass us altogether. Limited amounts of any Buffalo Trace products outside of restaurants. No Michter at all...none....nada. Just weird the way they do things. Consumers here are very, very limited. Scotch isn't as bad, but the prices for single malts are even worse. Guess I should be happy with what we have, but I'm definitely doing some major shopping outside the state for my xmas presents.

Single malt pricing has sky rocketed since COVID
Very thankful we aren’t a control state. Sounds horrible

Found a hidden gem. Aerstone Single Malt Sea Cask 10. $30. Ecellent. If you prefer the peat, they have a Land Cask 10. Same price. Been trying other Scotch and Irish and American Bourbons & Whiskies, but have had 2-3 bottles of this and will go back. Excellent single malt for the money. The one that trumps it for my taste is hard to find. Brenne French Single Malt. 2 primary releases. A $50ish bottle Brenne Estate and a $80 plus bottle Brenne Ten. The cheaper one is the better one to me, and it is fantastic. Can't get it in Cookeville due to distributor territory stuff, but supposed to be available in Nashville and Crossville.

Brenne's website lists a store in Knoxville. Other searches show one store downtown Nashville. Gay St maybe. Statewide search of GA shows several in ATL, but none near Valdosta where I'll be next week. I know it is avaialble in Nashville somewhere, My cousin turned me on to Brenne, and left me a bottle on my porch. Local liquor store did a search for me and told me nashville and crossville. But, I haven't gone out of my way to search and find.
