re: Bourbon as an investment

Someone mentioned the Stigma of reselling bourbon. For some reason this is very true. Especially in BR. Some of the spirits and beverage managers know each other at Rouses, Albertsons, Oak Point, Calandros, and stores like S&P. If any of those guys suspect you are a reseller. They will start watching for you and will not tell you what they have. Not to mention, they all already have their buddies to give their special allocations. The alcohol manager of Oak Point gives everything he has to like select 2-3 guys and they are constantly putting it on FB pages saying "make connections" but when you try to make those connections, they don't like you even if you are a reseller or not, because you are a threat to them by taking bourbon away from them.
One of the guys who the Oak Point gives to is always posting stuff like Old Carter, Stagg, WL Weller, Mitchers toasted, EH BP, GTS, and many other bottles a guy off the street will never see a day in his life.

I agree with Glock. The former guy at Oak Point was fantastic. The "new" guy is a complete dick and they have lost all of my grocery and alcohol business because of it.
I cant speak to the other places around town because Oak Point was the only place I've shopped for years. I will say Hokus in Prairieville is run by some amazing and friendly people. I've started making drives out there for stuff just to support a well run business.

The connection that needs to be made is with their distributor. I suspect that they wouldn't be very happy with Oak Point if they knew about this...and they should know because that practice is F'n lame.
