I assume it's the same state wide? If not, this was the mall 205 location in Portland.Where at? Makers is not bad and I am a little low on bourbon
In Oregon the OLCC sets prices statewide, so everywhere in the state will have the same price. You can actually view them online in lists here, or use this website to search prices and availability, though many liquor stores don't keep their inventory updated to whatever system this pulls from.Where at?

The system updates at the end of the day and is usually pretty dang accurate. Many stores don't put the quality and hard to get bottles on the shelf. Many of the good bottles are allocated and raffled or on the stores allocation list and held for customers on those lists and never see the shelf.In Oregon the OLCC sets prices statewide, so everywhere in the state will have the same price.

Huh don't get me started on that. The lottery was simply a con job and the board memebers took all the good bourbon for themselves. They've all been kicked off the board as of last year as I recall.The system updates at the end of the day and is usually pretty dang accurate.

I wasn't actually referring to the state liquor lottery. Many stores have a lottery for tuff to get bottles. At Christmas I won the chance to pay retail for a bottle of Elmer T. Lee at my local store. Good luck finding that bottle on the shelf in Oregon.Huh don't get me started on that.

What's funny is I've been sober for 34 years so my opinion is based entirely on my wife and friends' observations. From those my take is that the entire point of buzz around Eagle Rare was that it's good bourbon at a reasonable price. I'd imagine (and that's all I do) is one you get north of $50 a bottle there are better options.Correct...Some stores hold back popular/hard to get bottles for their commercial customers.
That's their default for hard to get stuff. Bars get first pick.
Sometimes they'll go in the back and get you a bottle if you ask. It's more likely to happen if they recognize you. I buy from a small group of shops who know me as a steady customer.
Sometimes they bring out a second bottle of hard to find product as well.
In other news.....When the heck did Eagle Rare go from $28 to $39 a bottle? Yikes.
I'm still working on the case I put together 1.5 years ago.....
In Ohio they get into fights to buy a bottle at $150 or $200..it's nuts.
In Florida they're bidding ER up to $300+ per bottle....it's nutzzzz....
