It's 27.99 at Total Wine. Now, I certainly don't expect them to match the price. But a $7 difference? And it was "on sale?" I bought 2 bottles, but probably won't return, even though I'd like to support local businesses.

However, I do like the layout of the store, the taste tests, and the prices at Specs. I've tried a few other liquor stores here and they're more expensive. They have a lot of extra products (at thanksgiving, they had a bourbon pecan pie....not my fave!) that is was "meh" with, but like the helpfulness of employees and the prices, for sure. I'm giving 4 because of the convenient locations, taste tests, store cleanliness, employee friendliness, and lower pricing. Plus, I really like the bunny with the glasses.

The staff can't stand to be pulled away from their phones to work. Texting while completing the transaction.

(5 stars) A Hidden Whiskey Gem in the Texas Countryside…read more We had the pleasure of visiting 1845 Distilling in Lowry Crossing, Texas, and were warmly welcomed by Bob, the owner, and Miguel, the head distiller--an incredible father-in-law/son-in-law duo who are clearly passionate about their craft. Tucked away in the cooling shade of a pecan orchard, this distillery is a hidden gem just outside of Dallas that deserves a spot on every whiskey lover's map. If you're traveling the Lonestar Whiskey Trail, make sure 1845 is on your itinerary--you'll be glad you did. Bob's Southern hospitality made us feel right at home. He gave us a personal tour of their still house, bottling facility, and beautiful rickhouse, sharing their vision for future expansion along the way. You can feel the pride, purpose, and family spirit in every detail of the operation. After the tour, we settled into their cozy tasting room and recorded an episode of The Whiskey Trip--surrounded by great whiskey, good conversation, and genuine Texas charm. And then there's the whiskey. Their rye bourbon absolutely blew my mind. It had every note and nuance I look for--bold, balanced, and beautifully crafted. Maybe it's the influence of those pecan trees, their precision German stills, or Miguel's talent behind the spirit--whatever the magic is, I was hooked from the first sip. 1845 Distilling is more than worth the trip--it's a shining example of craftsmanship, family, and true Texas hospitality.

The proprietor kindly explained the wines that he wanted us to taste, while he shared a bit with each of us. I disappointed that he didn't grow any grapes there, or even own any, but imported all the wines. Unfortunately none of them were my taste, I prefer the sweeter wines. But, had a great time!
