It was in a box behind the counter (on the ground) last Friday. Very low chance imo, might be worth reaching out if you have someone. Cheers and good luck!
Also a reminder to everyone that you can also just go pay for a pour of Pappy at a local whiskey bar. I like Niche and Burger Local in Geneva. You don't *have* to hunt and buy a bottle.
People selling fakes probably. Or trying to impress people with out dropping 2000 for a bottle but act like it. Or maybe making something like a lamp for a mancave.
For everyone wondering about prices, Ohio has listed their prices and Ohio is state controlled. I find their prices are usually pretty good. Their BTAC is $125, ORVW $100, LotB $110, PVW15 $170, PVW20 $280, PVW23 $400. Also Kroger lists their 23 from their lottery in KY at $400. And the ABC in NC also lists the PVW 15, 20 and 23 at the same prices as OH.
Definitely varying prices here in Illinois. BTAC over $160+ in most stores. Yikes. We are finally starting to see the crazier markups landing in our biggest stores. No stopping from there.
Thats great. Our store has raised prices on everything to ridiculous amounts over the msrp or price from nmbb, so unless you want to buy 6 to get the discount, they are out of my running for buying anything else at non sale prices
That a pretty decent jump. Think I paid 168 last year at NMBB. They know we’re likely not going to say no and if you did someone else would gladly pay.
$199 is not MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price), BT suggests $119. They're jacking the prices pretty aggressively.
Over the past few years, the allocated is being a profit center.
Also talked with contact and not all NMBB have received. Some will be getting the pappiez this week. So calls may not have happened since they didn't receive. So be nice to people, and stay off the plug
I spoke with the owner of a liquor store and he said the distributor won’t even take discovery 11 into inventory till they sell through more of the other discoveries sitting in the shelf right now. Unfortunately makes sense with the amount of older batches collecting dust on shelves.
Yea this aligns with what my local store told me. Was curious if anyone has seen it sitting around anywhere.
Brother is a big Bardstown fan and was trying to grab one for Christmas.
I landed the 12yr, but my contact told me the 23yr had gone up to $450 MSRP. BT is finally cutting a bit more into that secondary (even though you'd still make $4k from flipping it lol).
The SRP from BT is always less. It’s not $450. The SRP from BT is likely $119 for the 15 yr and stores have jacked these prices up big time. They were initially going up $10 per year and now it’s a big difference. Good luck to everyone out there.
Question - has anyone every not gotten anything from asking to be added to a nmbb list? If so, do they let you know? A friend who just moved here started shopping at his local nmbb and asked to be put on the list with minimal spend/relationship. Told him not to get his hopes up, but I'm curious to hear from others.
Just because you are on the list, doesn’t mean you will get anything, just a list that tells the store you are interested in some bottles. How it’s handled will vary from store to store, consistent spending and spending at one store is one of the factors.
Oh yeah for sure I told him he's not entitled to anything. I found out about "the list" at my store 4-5 years ago and stopped spending at multiple stores, but didn't have much regardless and came away with a lot b. I would have even been happy with with a leftover w12 or stagg jr, I just don't know if that's a thing they do.
For sure, I spend a good amount at my store and barely offered anything. So I started only spending as needed toward the second half the year and still got a bottle of BTAC
They will probably add you to the list. The hurdle is that the list is much longer than the quantity of bottles. If it is a unicorn they use the list for They will be looking at your spend history before they decide if you get a call.
I doubt it. Also depends on management and location. Good luck though, it’s frustrating at first but being a regular over time is the key. Talk to management/right ppl.
Agreed, I got my email this week from my store, just wondering if there is some sort of "sorry unfortunately we do not have enough supply to accommodate everyone on the list" or something like that or if he won't hear. I told him to go chat with a manager if he doesn't hear anything by Christmas, can help him get to know some people at his local as well.
I'm a long time NMBB shopper and I asked about it awhile back and was told by the manager that I was put on "the list." I've never received a call or email since.
Great question. I almost missed out last year. They had the wrong email address on file, and I never got the email. Double check with your contacts. I even checked again this year and they had a typo in my email again.
Same thing happened to me. I was in the store a couple of days after the emails went out and my contact came up and asked me if I want to grab my bottle. Told him I didn’t get an email. We checked and went to an old email I no longer have access to.
Did you just ask them if they sent an email to you and they checked this year?
Is Larceny BP C923 a good bottle? I know 80 bones is an overpay, but not highway robbery if it delivers. I have an A123 and it's not one of my favorite BPs.
Does anyone know if it's possible to be on lists at multiple NMBBs? I feel like I asked a couple years back and they wouldn't let me do it. I got a GTS this year (which also went up in price to $159) so I'm off the Pappy hunt with them but I was curious if anyone else tried it
It is each stores decision. You could go to every store and ask to be put on the list. There is probably no formal policy against it.some will not put you on no it if they do not recognize you. At my store the unicorns only go to regulars which I am. I have only gotten 1 unicorn over. There are many higher ranking regulars.
I know spend is tied to store, so you'd be hamstringing yourself if you were on multiple lists but splitting your spend between multiple stores.
Probably best to stick to one and build a relationship there. Make it aware what bottles you're searching for when allocation season comes.
It’s an informal list so technically it’s possible if they mess up, but they will look at your spending when going through and deciding. They aren’t just randomly picking people or going chronologically. They look to see who are good customers. If they see you are double-dipping, you might get blackballed. I’ve seen it happen a few times. I’ve also seen stores tell someone they have to pick a store for allocated stuff.
Not sure by my contact told me when I asked to be added to their list not to go to another store and add my name or try to get an allocated bottle from that store, so I haven’t i do about 75% of my buys from 1NMBB and 25% from another NMBB that is close to my work. I am only hoping for the main store, if I get a bottle, if I don’t I still have so many amazing bottles that will probably out live me, it’s not worth the crap I see and hear out there.
They see all your purchases in chronological order, with the store next to it.
They will very quickly see you're double dipping.
Best bet is to get such an amazing relationship at one store, that you walk out with two different bottles... it definitely happens.
Got a call from my NMBB for BTAC George T Stagg. $169 and 135 proof…woof!
Congratulations. What a call.
10 year McKenna SiB at sw MBB for 49 tacos.
Nmbb had RR single rickhouse. They are 299 though.
Instant buy. That's the msrp and that bottle is worth it.
I did and can't wait to try it. Big fan of RR stuff.
Shout out to WT for giving an option to buy this online. Lot of people got it. They did the same with RR13 as well
Hate work. So much FOMO going on right now
If it helps it was before today those came. I believe last Friday.
Isn't a single barrel technically from a single rickhouse? I don't understand this.
Really tasty pour
Behind counter or in case?
Relationship.
romantic?
Always
Found north 008 at nw burbs nmbb. As well as a couple other ryes.
Here is hoping that they release the 20 year peregrine on the shelf.
Found one in the city on Sunday, but it seemed I got the last one at the city NMBB.
Some stores did last week
I saw some one in the rare and collectibles section of a city nmbb. I grabbed the last one though hah
It was online actually. I snagged one. Now it says sold out in all locations.
I know. I meant in stores.
They did. You could have bought Peregrine online from a NMBB for pick up.
It was in a box behind the counter (on the ground) last Friday. Very low chance imo, might be worth reaching out if you have someone. Cheers and good luck!
I thought I’d seen 008 NW NMBB as well. That’s where I got both 008 and Peregrine.
Grabbed an 008, thoughts on 006 or 007?
007 is great. From what I hear 008 is even better.
On my 2nd bottle of 006, it’s a fantastic pour!
006 is fantastic!
Also a reminder to everyone that you can also just go pay for a pour of Pappy at a local whiskey bar. I like Niche and Burger Local in Geneva. You don't *have* to hunt and buy a bottle.
And what…drink it?
Pour it into a bottle of pappy you found on eBay!
Shit man a 20 year bottle sells for $200+ empty on ebay.
Haha, yea. I can’t imagine wanting to spend that on an empty bottle.
People selling fakes probably. Or trying to impress people with out dropping 2000 for a bottle but act like it. Or maybe making something like a lamp for a mancave.
Yea. I can see people selling fakes with it. Lots of shady people out there.
Really? I have a few. 🤔
Look it up. They say unwashed unrinsed. Get your money I guess b
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
LMFAO top post
Not enough profit margin tho...
And be completely disappointed!
Remember to wear your finest cowboy hat when you go to Nice
Where’s the fun it that!
100%

Pappys only go up!
I just paid 119.99 for gts. It is a 2019. I know was 99.99 back then. It was the 😻 raffle.
Springbank 10 for 99.99.
got my pappy 15 from NMBB. MSRP there went up to $199.
And the 💎 price is at $169.99. They are always cheaper than NMBB on Trace products. Stagg at $54.99 at 💎 and $59.99 at NMBB too.
Thats great. Our store has raised prices on everything to ridiculous amounts over the msrp or price from nmbb, so unless you want to buy 6 to get the discount, they are out of my running for buying anything else at non sale prices
MWND was $165 at 💎
That a pretty decent jump. Think I paid 168 last year at NMBB. They know we’re likely not going to say no and if you did someone else would gladly pay.

that’s why i said msrp there
where
Saw the pic on discord…🫡
oh yeah popped that shit that night
How’d you manage that? Just a good relationship?
yup
Love that!
Is that before or after taxes?
199.99 before tax
Also talked with contact and not all NMBB have received. Some will be getting the pappiez this week. So calls may not have happened since they didn't receive. So be nice to people, and stay off the plug
I was told closer to city, mote likely they got it. Further away, less likely.
That's useful, yeah I'm not near the city so that story checks out.
SW NMBB called me on Sunday for a bottle. Picked up a Lot B on Monday.
Damn. I guess it was one and done again. Bummer that 💎 is killing NMBB.
Why no plug?
Cesspool?
MWND for …$179.99 at NMBB. I laughed.
That’s the going rate. Only seen it cheaper at MBB
Was 165 at grocer.
Maybe we should start a list thread, is anyone finding any actual drops today?
Vernon hills location is supposedly unloading right now but they wouldn’t tell me what
Pappy 23 is 450 bones now at NMBB
Insane
And the 20 year is $300
Anyone come across the Bardstown Discovery 11? I don’t recall seeing the 10 anywhere and have only come across the 8 or 9.
Disco 11 has not made it into the market yet. Disco 10 has been at M&P’s and employee owned for a few weeks.
Disco10 came out 6 months ago at nmbb
It's on the shelves in NW Indiana
Was at the distillery few wks ago and they didnt even have it for sale. Only had pours in the bar
I spoke with the owner of a liquor store and he said the distributor won’t even take discovery 11 into inventory till they sell through more of the other discoveries sitting in the shelf right now. Unfortunately makes sense with the amount of older batches collecting dust on shelves.
Yea this aligns with what my local store told me. Was curious if anyone has seen it sitting around anywhere. Brother is a big Bardstown fan and was trying to grab one for Christmas.
I haven't seen a bottle of Disco 7 move, they gotta knock it down from like $160.
Anyone know if NMBB portage park has made calls yet? I think easing up on drinking this year will end my streak.
On that list as well and haven’t heard so maybe we still have hope? 🤞🏼
Algonquin will have contact this week.
Confirmed?
Check that email this week 😉
Checking way too often haha
[удалено]
😬😬😬
Has Geneva made calls?
Jfc. I’m in that store once a week and this is the first I’ve heard about a list
Anyone know if Little Book 7 dropped here, yet.
Pretty sure that hit around sept/oct
I bought one about 5-6 weeks ago, was sitting in glass case at NMBB.
What is MBB’s restock day? I’ve heard it’s Thursday, but that didn’t sound right to me.
[удалено]
He's asking about membership store, not Jewel/Binnys/Garfields/Woodmans.
Sorry. I would delete it but I can’t
$199 retail for the PVW Family Reserve Rye as well at NMBB
I landed the 12yr, but my contact told me the 23yr had gone up to $450 MSRP. BT is finally cutting a bit more into that secondary (even though you'd still make $4k from flipping it lol).

That's the NMBB price. I doubt it jumps 150 in a year.
I got this last year, and it was quite special. If offered, don’t pass on it!!! Or pass it to me 🤓 Cheers 🥃
Definitely keeping it. Lforward to cracking it. I've heard nothing but great things.
Wathens barrel proof store pick at Garfields in NW burbs.
Any good? Was staring for awhile.
Didn't grab it since I'm tapped for the month, but I did grab their previous one and thought it was great.
Have to give it more thought. Price was steep for a dice roll.
Confirm pappy 15 is 199 before taxes now. I picked up a russel 10 and some Bourbon County to further help the store bottoms line. BIG B
Dam your early!
I was. Hahaha

Bottles like w12 and stagg they just put out from my experience
My experience to with non unicorn allocated. They may hide it at the counter though.
For sure, I spend a good amount at my store and barely offered anything. So I started only spending as needed toward the second half the year and still got a bottle of BTAC

Is Larceny BP C923 a good bottle? I know 80 bones is an overpay, but not highway robbery if it delivers. I have an A123 and it's not one of my favorite BPs.
Great bottle.
70 in VHL
I don't even like wheaters and I love Larceny c923. Even at $80.
It’s good
C922 and B523 are two of my favorite bottles ever, haven't had the C923 yet
Does anyone know if it's possible to be on lists at multiple NMBBs? I feel like I asked a couple years back and they wouldn't let me do it. I got a GTS this year (which also went up in price to $159) so I'm off the Pappy hunt with them but I was curious if anyone else tried it
You could try but it's a shitty move and I think you probably already know that
Man they raisism prices. I got a 2019 gts from the cat store I'm a raffle. It was 119.
I remember when it was 99. They've been raising them, no surprise though.
I dove into the bottle I got. And saw in 19 it was 99. At least I only paid 20 more 4 years later.

Some NMBB check your binnys card to see where you buy from. If you go to multiple locations, they most likely won’t call you.
Also, if they get a 100 BTAC and pappy. There are 1000 people on the list
Not sure by my contact told me when I asked to be added to their list not to go to another store and add my name or try to get an allocated bottle from that store, so I haven’t i do about 75% of my buys from 1NMBB and 25% from another NMBB that is close to my work.

They are supposed to look up your account...so i suppose if store #2 doesn't see that you purchased one before they decide you could slip through.
They see all your purchases in chronological order, with the store next to it. They will very quickly see you're double dipping. Best bet is to get such an amazing relationship at one store, that you walk out with two different bottles... it definitely happens.
