I thought that you bought the birthday bourbon and opened it. I couldn't believe that he opened it just to share! That's a nice guy indeed! Cheers 🥃

Watched this video in time for my trip to San Diego last month. Met Roy there and he is even nicer in person! Such a great guy and loves talking bourbon and sharing. I am from Philadelphia and ended up getting a couple bottles of Stagg and EH Taylor with some other bottles, and Roy helped me package them so they got home safely. I would recommend this store to anyone in the area and if you are visiting from out of town go talk to Roy and have a great time trying some of his favorites!

Visited Sunset liquor when we were on vacation after seeing this video. Roy is a super nice guy! Gave us a taste of his Woodford store pick that was amazing, 1792 12 year and a smoked tequila for my brother. Ended up walking out with a Redwood Empire Foggy Burl and Patron Smoked Agave. Wish this store was closer I’d be there a lot. Great video and recommendation.

Cali is a great place to hunt. You often find old releases just chilling on shelf that have probably been there for 7-10 years. I recently ran into a 15 year age old KC pick in the old bottle but you find all kinds of odd things. The best is finding those old Russels Picks when most of the picks were 11+ years old. Those things are as good as the 13 and Single Rick IMO.

Of course you will be a bit more forgiving to the museum when they give you a sample of a unicorn. Any store with that much allocated stock makes me sick. They likely have a ton more in back and they just horde it from their community. Do some raffles, donate it to charity events, do something to get those bottles into the hands of consumers instead of collecting dust on your shelf. If I were a distributor and I came in and saw that I would push you way down on the list.

He didn't get that boxed weller 12 from a distributor. That and some other bottles appear to be from MustHaveMalts. From what I understand it's illegal for them to buy or trade for bottles and resell them in their stores.

That store Deff does some dodgey stuff, I’d assume he sources from secondsry to have those bottles. In one clip in this video you showed a French weller 12 700ml in the box. That is not sold in the USA nor distributed . He did a nice thing sharing, but he sources all those highly allocated bottles id assume.

@WhiskeyRow 5 ай бұрын

I'm not sure I'd say he does dodgy stuff unless you are familiar with California ABC laws and his operation. I will say we talked off camera about how much HH he has to sell to get just one case of the Old Fitz, etc. I can't speak to that specific bottle you reference though
