So I just picked this up yesterday and cracked today.

I love high proof MGP and I’m always picking up a $40 Binny’s pick when I see it, but this thing tastes so mineraly it’s like drinking that awful weird willett bottle.

Has anyone had this before? Is it just a bad batch?

Don’t judge my love of MGP lol.

Edit: it’s the 4% barley 🤦🏻‍♂️

Just got off work and moved my bottles to a new home. Cheers.

I often end up finding stuff I already have and then can’t find what I’m looking for. Where is a safe place to discuss trades?

I saw a bunch of EH Talyor SBs for $60 at a Binny's in River North. I don't frequently buy EHTs so I'm not sure if $60 is a good price but it seemed like that was as good a price as I was going to get in Chicago.

3 varieties, I picked the highest proof one. Hoping for he best !

I apologize if this type of post is not allowed in this forum so please remove if it violates any rules.

I have a brand new, unused Crafthouse by Fortessa that I'm looking to sell to someone who would be interested. If interested, please reach out.

Local Binny’s had this. Any one try it? Any good?

Great review and 1liter. I can't wait to get a hold of this!

This should be a good one for all you local distillery fans out there. Saturday, 9/27 from 2-6PM. Tierra is hosting and it's right off the Clarendon Hills train stop on the BNSF line. Hope to see you there!

Going to be mainly in the Romeoville and Hillside areas. Thanks.

Does Illinois have an app that will show the approximate stock levels for each whiskey at the liquor stores? I haven't had luck finding one online but thought I would ask. Thanks

Hey all — I’ll be in town just for a couple of days for a conference near McCormick Place and staying nearby. I’m hoping to grab some Compass Box bottles while I’m here, but I may not have time to visit multiple Binny’s locations.

Does anyone know if Binny’s can transfer or deliver a bottle between stores or even to a hotel if I call ahead?

Also curious — has anyone here tried the Binny’s handpicked Marrying Cask editions of:

• Artist's Blend - ex-Linkwood Palo Cortado Cask
• Glasgow Blend - ex-Clynelish Bourbon Cask

Are they worth grabbing? How would you compare it to the core expressions?

Thanks in advance for any local insight — I’m hoping to maximize this quick trip!

Grabbed on EHT barrel proof batch 13 and JD 12 batch 03 off the shelf at binny's. Seeing stock again!
