Only 2 other reviews of this spot and 1 is negative.Firstly, I gotta address Rhonda W: To "1 star" this spot due to your ineptitude in finding the location or Yelp's failures is as fair as me generalizing you as a Karen.Anyway.. I walked in Saturday afternoon (6/10/23) and was immediately greeted by the gentleman running the joint, Rusty, and another employee named Jack.I was hoping that being closer to Kentucky would allow me to find Blanton's at a cheaper price in greater quantity. Rusty took to time to explain how Blanton's and most liquor stores operate with one another and the reason for its scarcity even in TN. Then Rusty took me on a tour of different bourbons he recommended: this tour included several tastings, history and facts regarding each whiskey I sampled. I ended up choosing to purchase a bottle of Rattle & Snap 8 Year for an extremely fair price of $100.Rusty further detailed his "membership list". It's just a spreadsheet of his customers and how much they spend (I believe monthly) and at the end of the month, the top few get to select some of the highly-sought-after bottles Rusty has on the top shelf to include bourbons like Blantons and Willetts.. at RETAIL, people.Rusty and Jack provided excellent service, have a great business running, with a wide selection of liquor and massive expertise regarding the selection within. If you're in the Franklin area and are looking for a bottle or two, I must recommend Bakehouse Wine and Spirits. Cheers!
