Four stars based solely on their selection of bourbon. No fifth star because I would have liked to negotiate on a few bottles but we couldn't seem to come to terms. The selection here for mid range and high end bourbons is unbelievable. Prices are slightly higher than average, but within reason.
This might be uncommon knowledge, but in the liquor store industry, many store owners will negotiate a cash price on just about anything. If I'm going to spend over $100-150, I try to find a way to save a few bucks.
I was surprised when I found a bottle of whiskey that's hard to find outside of Texas. I offered to buy every bottle he had on the shelf at the time (6 bottles) and that I would pay cash...but I wanted to negotiate the price down about 20%. I knew it would cut into his profit margin, but I also knew he wasn't going to lose money, because I know the distiller and how much those bottles are sold to the retailer for. Even after flashing the cash...there was no budge...so I bought just one bottle and left. The store owner responded that he only negotiates on certain bottles. I respect that. It's his business and his prerogative. Had we struck a deal I would definitely have come back with more cash to do more business.
