Liquor Stores in NKY with Barrel Picks.

Featured Replies

Going to be up that way this weekend. I'm definitely going to go to the Party Source but was wondering if there are any other stores up there with good barrel picks.

DEP's Fine Wines

Also, Cork 'N Bottle has always had good barrel picks in the past, but I stopped in the Crescent Springs location over the holidays and noticed that they had a lot of empty space on the shelves there. Might still be worth poking your head there or at the Covington location in if you have the time to, though.

 

Oh...and for what it's worth, looks like there are some changes on the horizon at the Cork 'N Bottle...

What's a barrel pick?

 

Reader's Digest Version: A store goes to a distillery and picks out their own barrel to sell.

Thats because they are in a lawsuit with one of their vendors and can not order inventory until its settled for some things.

 

EXACTLY what I'm looking for. You da man! Wish they still had that Smooth Ambler.

 

DEP'S is the best liquor store around, in my opinion. :thumb:

 

Good people, too.

I always forget to go there. Only been once since they moved down the street. Need to start taking my Growler there.

Which place do you go? Do they have barrel picks/private selections/etc?

I understand that DEPS may be purchasing Cork -n- Bottle

Which place do you go? Do they have barrel picks/private selections/etc?

 

I usually just go to Bluegrass Liquor Store because its close to home and been going there since college. I honestly don't know if they have those, but I'd guess they do not.

If you're going to Dep's, your best bet is probably the location in Fort Thomas / Southgate. It is a great new(er) facility. I typically go to the location in Covington (near Route 8, across from the Lexus Dealership) but that place is much smaller and doesn't strike me as the location that would have what you're looking for. If you give them a call, I'm sure they'd be more than willing to point you in the right direction.

 

The Ft. Thomas location is probably the best place to start -- 859-781-8105.

DEPS had a blind taste testing a while back and gave rankings to certain bourbon that I had not heard of. They were very good. When you go there walk in and turn left. Straight ahead in the left corner of the bourbon wall are the barrel picks. The tasted and ranked bourbon are also along the wall there and have a yellow tag.
