Close to Home or, if you lived here, you'd be drinking by now

The Greenwood Safeway has had booze on the shelves since about two weeks before the June 1 start date, concealed only by the flimsiest curtain. It was watching the booze supplies there expand while those at the Greenwood State Liquor Store dwindled that gave us the idea to write this blog in the first place. How would we find what we wanted? Isn't there an internet resource? Perhaps in blog form? Shouldn't someone do something about everything? Indeed.

The Safeway at 87th and Greenwood has stocked a decent supply of booze, with more on the way. Shelves are about 80-90% stocked at the time of writing, and there are already shelf tags for the empty spaces. In most cases those are for "coming soon" liquors, but in a few they seem to be items that sold out quickly in the first few days.

The Woodford Reserve and Bulleit bourbons are among those that have already sold out. With luck they'll be restocked quickly and amply, because the remaining section is only okay. There's Maker's Mark, but the price doesn't seem good, at $32. Knob Creek is coming soon, and Gentleman Jack rounds out the top shelf, while Jim Beam, Jim Beam Devil's Cut, Jack Daniels, Evan Williams and the gang round out the lower echelons.

Proximity counts though, and Greenwood liquor just got closer. To us. But, like we said, if you lived here....

What whiskeys are YOU looking for? What spirits have YOU found? Let us know!

Cheers!
