Doing (partial) Bourbon Trail, need advice
Posted: Thu May 07, 2015 12:21 am
Finally all stars aligned to make it possible for me, my wife and some friends to be able to take a drive to KY form NY for a quick Bourbon Trail visit next weekend.
Given that we only have 2 days to spend in KY we will only be able to visit 3-4 distilleries in addition to some other sightseeing friends/wife wanna do.
I've read a bunch of reviews and tips which help as far as picking out which distilleries to skip (given the time frame) but still don't have an answer to my question:
Which distilleries offer rare/hard to find bottles to purchase at gift shop and which do not?
There's a good variety of high end bourbon in NY but lots of stuff is still nowhere to be found. Not at fair price tag at least. I don't mind paying $100-$200-$300 as long as it's really that bottle that's worth it (yes, i know i know - a lot of people would never pay that for any bottle don't matter what it is, let's just say money vs taste vs what u thing is "worth it" vs something we call "individual basis" differs from one person to another)
Also - Are there any stores that are known for hard to find/rare bottles at decent prices? Would that be a better option?
