MADE A MISTAKE ON THE BUFFALO TRACE PRICE at 13:50 That price is for a 375ml, so we've gotta take back the prize for best price and give it to District Liquors for their $30 price! Thanks @OGbrick420 for pointing that out. Also, what we called the Booker's 2023-03 is actually the 2022-03. I guess sometimes you just see what you want to see! Haha!

I love it when you two go hunting in a fresh region. I had to unhinge my jaw at the Pappy and Parker and Stagg and Weller lineups routinely on display at the first store you ventured into. The effect mercifully wore off over time. I always knew DC was a boss market for whiskey. Startled as a Wisconsinite to hear how many things you don't see on the shelves in the motherland of Kentucky. The bourbon game is so strange! We have a Honeypot in Madison which sells Blanton at $129, so good for them, but I am over it as a house staple these days. Totally agree with your Buffalo Trace price assessment. It's plentiful in southern Wisconsin in the 28-32 range, and my lush brethren have adopted it after graduating from years of Korbel consumption. Like Blanton's, I'm over it and on to new, fun bourbons. Fortunately, there's always more to discover and I know my favorite podcasters will get to it all in due time. Five stars as always for the work you two do.
