It all depends on where you’re shopping. Certain momnpop stores price gouge. No kidding, I stopped at some hole in the wall place, this lady pulled out a bottle of Angel's Envy from behind the counter, rang it up at $78! That [censored] is $49.99 all day here in San Antonio. Bought it anyways, nothing else was worth a dang. The small liquor stores are under allotment from distributors. They rarely get it either. Yeah, she looked around, over her shoulder, and quietly said, "well... we do have a bottle of this..." dang, I thought she was going to pull out a bottle of pappy or something from the way she was acting.

A strategy that has worked for me is to find a large liquor store where there is a low population density of yuppies and millennials. Also, liquor stores that are larger than you would expect for the size of the town. For example, there's one on the edge of Kilgore sorta close to where 1shot lives that has a nice selection at really good prices.

Evan Williams is the best buy on the shelf. Keep it simple and save your money, life ain't as long as you think.
I have a bottle of EW BIB. And I agree, good stuff! But I have room for 6-7 bottles at a time, depending on the size/shape of the bottles. Might as well stay stocked, right? Ezra Brooks, Rebel Yell, Old Overholt are all cheap and will get sampled. Just bought another EW BiB and also bought the EW Honey. I almost pulled the trigger on the EW Fire
I Thes. 5:16-18

I just walked out of Total Wine with a big bottle of Weller Special Reserve. 1.75L for $39.

WAWI, have you ever had Peju cabernet? It's a Napa cab. This guy who has more money than likely anyone I'll ever know said it's his go-to everyday cab. He even took a bottle of it out to the deer blind, so I don't know exactly what that means. It's about $50 a bottle. Didn't try any, but may splurge one day.

Now I'm have tx and diet coke. You never hear of blantons and diet coke. You hear of crown, tx, makers and diet etc because they cant be consumed without something to cover how bad they are.

The best ones neat aren't the best ones mixed and vice versa based on my limited experience. Ps, TX is nasty mixed.
Don't use diet coke. Coke Zero is ok. 3:1 ratio with ice. Let it sit 5 minutes to mellow. Makers is awesome. You're welcome!
