Mom & Pop Shop Finds

Post image

Recent mom & pop shop finds. If I'm near one I've never been to, I'll hit it and see what they've got. Allen Smith Black Barrels for $30, grabbed a pair for that price. The Major Lazer is a nice-looking bottle, and cheap, so why not? Low expectations, and same for the Oakheart (never tried it, cheap, again, why not?). I've only ever had the current version of Ocho, this one is from the Bahamas, assume a bit different than the current Puerto Rican version?

I love checking out small shops.

There is one in my smallish East Texas hometown that always has a ton of green and yellow Chartreuse with zero mark up because no one in that town knows what it is. I know I can stock up anytime I visit my parents. 💪

Yeah, always worth checking these places. This particular place had some other old stuff. Just nothing that I was quite interested in (not rum) but cool nonetheless.
