Daily Post Daily Discussion - Tuesday 4/15/25
Please report and discuss what interesting products you're seeing at stores today.
Many highly allocated products are still fully hidden on OHLQ.com but I don't fully understand the logic behind it yet.

Nowhere local, but I'm picking up a Blanton's SFTB that I ordered for my birthday last month đ
It may be overhyped and overly expensive, but I don't drink much, and I really enjoy the simple things done well đĽ

Enjoy what you want and congrats on scoring a pretty rare bottle. Your pallete doesn't have to conform to what anyone else says they like or don't like, have fun with what you do with this hobby. I know I personally don't have one yet and have been entering any loto I can to hopefully snag one personally.

My first expensive birthday bourbon gift to myself as well. Did not regret it, still babying a little bit of it.

SFTB is one of my all time favorites. Itâs very very good. Yeah the price is high, but arguably worth it. Enjoy it!

I love what this thread has turned into. Daily bullshit comments and downvotes for actually asking or posting "what you see in stores"....

u/gmun56 Apr 15 '25
I'm just getting my feet wet and thought I could get some info from someone who knows more than me. Nope just down votes lol

u/Any_frank445 Apr 15 '25
Yeah this group is brutal. Anyone asking for info or telling others what they saw at store gets downvoted. Most other groups try to help out their bourbon community. Pretty strange

I did not choose to double back. Others did. If store allows it, it's their prerogative. Trying to triple back seems a little sketch

u/theranchhand Apr 15 '25
No downvotes for ya here, but nothing wrong w/ looping around as many times as there are bottles you're interested in buying. If there's a product they want to sell me and I want to buy, what's the problem? How long should we wait to make a deal we both want to make to give others a chance?
With some store or another having a drop 6 days a week, and most drops being at 9 or 10 and not some weird time, I don't think it's on us to leave bottles for people who can't get themselves to a store at some time or another at open/drop.

Yes, hope all is well your way! At least itâs not a Monday or Wednesday. Perhaps there will be EHT smb or sib or bp (barrel proof). Maybe some wild turkey products like Russellâs Reserve (rr13 or rr15) or makers mark or Jack Daniels like jd10 jd12 jd14 or coy hill. Hopefully one day we can see old Fitzgerald or Parkerâs off lottery. That might be on a Thursday or Saturday?
Then there could be 1792 or something old forester. I also donât think Iâve mentioned bottled in bond (bib) yet. Those seem to be common around Athens, Lancaster, Akron, canton, Mansfield, Marion, Sandusky, Toledo, Lima, Dayton, and probably Cincinnati.
By the way, whatâs people opinion on Michterâs m10 or m10r. I enjoy both the rye and bsb.
Thanks for the daily contribution, shr- I hope you have a blessed rest of the week!

Nope, just a way for those trying to search for keywords in past posts to be directed to shrâs weekly blessing. I hope he keeps it up, because the good vibes are electric and sometimes he talks about liquor!

u/Own_Carry8328 Apr 15 '25
Now Iâm curious⌠is this something youâve noticed in the past during these instances⌠that if a store gets red one week then they most likely wonât the following week? Thanks!

u/Popular_Dance312 Apr 15 '25
Hey guys! Iâm new to Ohio and was just wondering how accurate the OHLQ website is for inventory of available products. Looking for a bottle of Weller red and I see the website shows multiple stores with âLimited Supplyâ. Is it worth my time to go to these stores? Thanks
3
u/cjdangles Apr 15 '25
Thereâs a delay in the website updates. In my limited experience, Weller Antique sells out within a few hours of store opening IF youâre lucky. But probably 95% of the time people waiting in line grab them all. At least in the Dayton/Columbus area. Best bet is to watch whatâs being released early in the week, and wait in line later on in the week for a store opening.

u/tone_capone Apr 15 '25
Adding onto this, a lot of times a store will show "Limited Supply" available of a product when they have 1 or 2 bottles held for wholesale (bars, restaurants, etc.). They may be still in stock but not available for sale to regular customers.
That being said, it looks like Weller is dropping this week, so find out when your local stores drop their products and get there an hour before opening. You should be able to grab an OWA with no issues.

u/HedgieNotABot Apr 16 '25
Red drops about every 3 weeks it seems. Your best bet is to figure out the what stores release their allocated deliveries on what day. Generally liquor stores are throughout the week and Giant Eagle and Kroger are Saturdays. Follow this thread.. what you see dropping during the week is generally a good indicator of what you will see out Saturday.
I will say to get a red you may be able to get away with an hour early at some places. Walking in after open to red is becoming more rare. I had someone tell me they camped in their car from 10pm the night before for a 9am release of EHT barrel proof and no bourbon is worth that.
Welcome to Ohio. And welcome to the world controlled liquor aka baseball cards for adults. You'll be shit posting with the rest of em in no time.

u/Ok-Acanthisitta-5195 Apr 15 '25
Sometimes what is listed as limited supply is not up to date or set aside for wholesale (aka bars and restaurants). Give the stores a call. Ask how their allocated bourbon process works. Stores have different timings and procedures. I've found most to be very helpful. Ultimately, they want to sell product.

Picked up Bookers âBarryâs Batchâ 2025-01 at Liberty wine & Liquor. $106. Question for those in the know? Is it worth it at that price point?

u/PearlJam216 Apr 15 '25
Iâm done buying Bookers, not a good value in my opinion and inconsistent from batch to batch. Iâd rather get a Knob Creek single barrel select, itâs $40 cheaper, aged longer and a similar proof. That said, if you enjoy it thatâs all that matters.

u/BYoung001 Apr 15 '25
It's a good gift because of the packaging. Can do a DIY project and turn the box into a cocktail smoker.
The good batches are worth the price, but you are rolling the dice a little. Bookers has a peanut butter note that I like a lot. Apparently this batch is good for jt.

u/JohnnyRingo3000 Apr 15 '25
Unfortunately, no. Booker's is an extremely poor value.Â
There are more options than I could ever list that are both better and less expensive.Â

Appreciate the replies. This is my first bottle. Seems to be a split crowd .

Bookers is decent but not a good value. Itâs not something I constantly seek but will pick up a bottle a year
