This one I'm on the fence about regarding the rating. It's not quite a 3 star, but doesn't really…read moremeet my 4 star standing. Reason being was the look as well as the staff.
The building is a newer renovated building, currently it's in a bit of an odd place, especially with all of the construction going on around it. It's not off the highway nor is it near a main road. Yet, it's a big building with a decent amount of stock. It's the size of an old 7 Eleven, so that gives you some scale.
The shelves are all wood and self made. Doesn't look like it has proper support, definitely not where I was looking in the whiskey section. The selection for whiskey wasn't a vast as other locations, yet they did have some rare finds that were still at MSRP, which is a huge plus, they aren't marking items up just because they are sought after. However, the location this store sits in isn't really a harbinger for attracting high end clients that will spend $100-$200 on premium whiskey and spirits. Tho, this is why I search out these stores, as they usually have exactly what I'm looking for, unlike the big stores in the high traffic and high economy locations.
They had my Buffalo Trace and Elijah Craig. They did have some more rare brands behind the counter, which is normal.
Moving on to the staff, the gentleman that greeted me followed me around like I was either a possible thief or he was just bored. Not sure which. It made me a bit uncomfortable. Being my first visit, I wanted to see what they had and what the overall price points were. I asked if he had a few specific ones, Wellars, Buffalo Trace, Eagle Rare, Oregon Trail, First Call, Woodford Reserve, Grangestone .... they had a few of these but not all. Grangeston is a Scotch, and I didn't see any scotch at all. Oregon Trail and First call in all fairness is a not so widely known brand, tho very good, I've only found them at Total Wine, tho they aren't exclusive brands.
This isn't my normal stomping grounds, it's likely I won't visit again unless I just happen to pass through and want more Buffalo Trace.
