Liquor store recommendations for bourbon/rye near South Boston (Convention Center area?)

Will be there for a convention and want to potentially bring back some allocated whiskey at a decent price

OGD 114

Based on today's IG posts, a bunch of places have Old Grand-Dad 114 back in stock, apparently for the first time in years. These include Burlington W&S, Rapid Liquors, and some Total Wine locations. Around $31 or so.

Two items of potential interest @ Burlington W&S

  1. They got a 6-year private barrel rye from Sagamore Spirit that was not their own pick - apparently, it was intended for a restaurant that closed in between the time the barrel was chosen and delivery of the bottles, so Burlington took it instead. I thought it was delicious, a little dry at the beginning but with a real hit of both sweetness and spice at the end. I've never tried Sagamore but thought this was quite worth the $55 price tag.

  1. Their Blanton's bundles are back in stock, in which they pair it with one of their store picks. I got one of these when the Blanton's was paired with a Maker's Store pick that was quite good. I haven't tried any of the current bundles (two Stellums, one Copper & Cask, one Jefferson's) but most of them seem reasonably priced.

Any suggestions for Bristol/Norfolk county?

As title says anyone have some suggestions? There’s a couple of places around that have eagle rare/ blantons/ Russel’s 15 etc, but all at secondary plus. I.e their weller full proof is $300.

Liquor Junction

I’ve been eyeing a good chunk of store picks from liquor junction and missed the double punch day on Nashville Barrel Company the other day. Does anyone know if LJ does like an annual punch day or anything like that?

Is JD SBBP Rye available in RI?

I know it’s in CT and ME, but work is taking near the RI border this week. If it’s something that’s regularly available I’d love to get my hands on some.

Colonial Spirits in Acton (maybe their other locations too) has Barrell Rye 004 for half of MSRP

It’s hard to write this without it sounding like an ad lol, but just want to throw it out cause it’s a pretty crazy deal. MSRP is 89 and they’re selling for 45.

14 yr Canadian rye, 10 year Indiana, and some younger TN and KY in the mix

Apparently they jumped on a pricing error and bought the whole lot

Boston Area Bar Recs

I did see there’s a bar/restaurant guide but looks like it’s been a bit since updated so thought I’d post an iso here.

Visiting from Montana next week to see my brother (as you can imagine, not a lot of options here) - wanted to see if anybody had any recommendations for bars/restaurants in the area that have a good variety of whisky for reasonable prices? Allocated stuff is cool but mainly just looking to try bottles I don’t see much around MT. Will be in Braintree but doesn’t necessarily need to be confined to that area.

Any insight helps, and thanks in advance!

Willett 8 year, heavens door 5, and little book at Medford Wegmans if anyone is looking

Heavens door 5: $599 Little book : $159 Willett 8 year: $229 Bookers: 99.99

First time I've seen a purple top in a while, I forgot they changed the bottle.

I'm not looking for any of these but figured I'd post it in case others are.

Happy hunting

Eagle Rare barrel pick @ Dion's

Dion's just released an Eagle Rare barrel pick. I picked up a bottle at the Lexington St. (Waltham) store, but I think they have stock in some other stores as well. $49.99, which is more than Burlington W&S is charging for ER - then again, Burlington is regular ER, not a store pick.

When I was at Dion's they also had BT and a single bottle of Weller SR. I was actually planning to buy the Weller until I saw the price - $75. Normally Dion's is very fair in their pricing, so I was surprised to see that kind of markup. Opted for the ER pick instead.

Eagle Rare: Burlington wine and spirits

Burlington wine and spirits just had an eagle rare drop. Limit 1 per person. Price isn't online but they are normally very fair on pricing.

UK/EU Online Retailers Shipping to MA

I'm looking to expand my bottle shopping beyond domestic stores. Could anyone recommend sites with good selections of OB/IB Scotch and share their experiences, preferably for shipment to MA? In particular, I'm curious about how shipments enter the country and are received and how tariffs are collected. Thanks in advance.

Early Times Bottled in Bond

Recently moved from a state where this was widely available as a budget daily driver. Is ET BiB available anywhere in New England? I’m not seeing it anywhere on the South Shore of MA
