Heading to 30a in a couple days. Any recommendations on good places to shop for bourbon? Maybe find some Rock Hill Farms?


Not gonna find anything on 30a for the most part. The wine world in Destin coming from Niceville has a good selection. There is a new bottle shop in Alys with a very small selection but some decent stuff. There was a sunset liquor in Sea Grove that had the best selection down there. Sold their license to publix and shut down this past October.

Lube your butt hole before going into that bottle shop, prices are ridiculous. I wouldn't go to any places on 30a between Seaside and Rosemary unless you want to pay double what you should on anything and everything. They wanted $80 for a normal bottle of Michter's at the place right by publix. I saw that and stopped looking. Wine World like the other guy mentioned and you can probably find some stuff on 30a between Destin and Seaside.

haha, i didnt even look at the prices for the couple decent bourbons they had. i did see some ridiculously priced bottle of macallan 18. that sunset liquors above goatfeathers was badass. i was so pissed they closed.

Need some help from the W/B/S experts. Has anyone heard anything about a tasting set of Jefferson's Ridiculously Small Batch Bourbon? It's five 200 ml bottles that are all aged in experimental barrels. Local place called and asked if I was interested but I can't find anything on whether or not it's worth it or just a marketing play. Thanks for any help

BTW I was told the 20 year has a custom label on the way that has not arrived yet. I was not told what was put on the label.

I've see one of those bottles before. It says...This bottle has been consumed and refilled with Weller 12. Enjoy.
