Thumbs up Cheapest place to buy Johnny Blue?

Are they all priced the same at most liquor stores or are some cheaper than the other?

best bet is probably Stew Leonard's for the cheapest around since they are huge.

Either that or find someone that will be going to a duty free zone

Hahaha, Stew Leonard, he was in prison with me. Good guy though, cool stores. Is he still alive? He'd have to be like 80 now.

I haven't a clue but I know there is a big store in Farmingdale where we hold our meets. I buy some nice wine there. Delicious table wine for $8 bottle that rivals a $40 bottle from Tuscany that I own. I won't divulge the name because when I go I don't want to see it all gone

Stew Leonards has a few places. Westchester, Farmingdale, CT, maybe a few others.

I looked at their website but they seem to only carry wine?

just called my friend who owns a liquor store and he said it used to be 225+tax but they reduced the price so he now has it for 199+tax.

I mentioned the 180 price ... he said that is probably a wholesaler because that is right above cost

Just for the hell of it, I'll advertise his place. Shoot him a call if any questions.

pretty much ... even clubs pay about the same or sometimes more .. depends on what they order and stuff like that.

Question .. why go so expensive on a blended whiskey when you can get a single malt for less or about the same. I love black label and gold and of course blue but, IMHO single malts have a much better taste and go down smooth. Also smack the dude that mixes it with anything more than ONE cube of ice.

Try any of the Glenns or Dalwinnie mmmmm tasty
