John O’s Liquor

I was passing through on the way to Ohio and this store had a whiskey I was looking for. This location is huge! They had every kind of whiskey and bourbon you could want and some hidden gems you didn't know you needed. The sales people were really nice and knowledgeable. I'll definitely stop by on my way through again.

It's every bit as good as Liquor Barn and maybe a tad better. It's smaller, though the selection of beers, wines and spirits are top notch. The best part is that their prices are fair and maybe a tad lower than most of the independent stores. It's reminiscent of Evergreen, a great liquor store on Shelbyville Road in Louisville. It's on par with Liquor Barn in regards to the prices of hard to find bourbon except for the Buffalo Trace products, which is somewhat of a moot point since you can only get them unless you win a "lottery" for a chance to buy them. It's so ridiculous that I'm over the Buffalo Trace hype and have gone to more readily available great bourbon, and I've found them here at John O's. I've picked up some Orphan Barrel Rhetoric (20 and the 25) and a bourbon that's better than anything Buffalo Trace puts out, Elijah Craig Private Single Barrel, Barrel Proof. IMHO the best bourbon out there right now. To be honest, they are hard to find too but I've found them at John O's. At $100 it crushes Weller 12 or Pappy 23 which go for $325 and $1000 respectively on the secondary market and independents.
