Yep. Sold out immediately. Wife went in and there were 3 in line, she was the 4th. They were waiting for the manager to unpack the boxes. They had 4 W12, and all 4 used their one purchase to get the W12.

Glad they had the ER. I do enjoy that one for the price point.

if only the legislature would work on reforming the stupid alcohol laws and taxes instead of whatever headline grabbing cause du jour we could have nice things. Cause actual costco liquor stores run by them are awesome.

Plus there was a big allocated BT drop for Bourbon Day. I restocked then and won't be needing more for a while.

Did the tour at the BT facility about 2 months ago and the amount of increased storage and production they've brought on in the last few years is amazing. We're talking 2x. There are rickhouses going up everywhere in Kentucky.

It's a long ways out but I imagine the market will begin to settle in about 5 years.

I rolled my eyes at the previous distribution being a part of the problem, but as much as I've seen BT products increase at both big box & mom and pop stores, there is almost certainly some part of distribution at fault there.

Yeah I think BT's Rickhouse expansion was like $1.2B or something crazy like that.

BT distribution was absolutely part of the issue. Yes, there is high demand, but there is also a yearly increase in supply. The last distributor was doing some unethical things and really screwing over the consumer in the way they were allocating distribution. It led to a lot of low supply in most areas.

BT and Sazerac completely overhauled how they handle it now.

I had an email chat with the President of BT several years ago and he acknowledged some of the issues.

like how you can walk into any store in california and find just about anything?

I walked into a strip center liquor store in Anaheim about 2 months ago. You know, one of the places around here that has 2-3 allocated bottles, maybe, behind the counter and displayed.

This guy had every single allocated type and was gouging like mad. All the rare Wellers, Eagle Rare for $90, etc.

And a smug look on his face like he knew it wasn't supposed to be this hard to get but he knew he could make money on it.

Headed to Louisville for the derby. We're staying in Shelbyville. Any liquor stores we should hit in that area? I was supposed to fly in yesterday but had to do emergency surgery on my own dog. Missed out on michters 10 at the distillery this morning.

Has the distributor referred to in the post above moved to Kentucky? Shortage in Kentucky? Artificially high prices? Something seriously wrong.

And I hope your dog is Ok.

When I first went to Louisville, I had zero knowledge of bourbon. WT 101 was the greatest bourbon ever.

So, when I saw EHT small batch for $145, I thought, WOW!! THEY HAVE IT!!!

Now, I realize that's just what stores can charge. That was just at a year ago as it was Kentucky Derby week.

It was a staple at our tailgates. It's all I brought. I don't set up tailgates any longer, but we did for 8 years.

2 handles per tailgate.
7 games per year
8 years

112 handles.

Probably missed 10 games during those 8 years.

That's 92 handles. 161 liters. 42.5 gallons.

Wow, probably shouldn't have done that math.

Ordered about 13 bottles for my wedding and had about 4 or 5 leftover.

Looked at all the leftover bourbon and thought to myself.. "damn I guess I'm a bourbon drinker now"

And here I am.

A look at the bourbon..

1. Thomas H. Handy | Powerful, lush, and boldly spicy. Flavors of toffee, fig cake, and candied fruit, followed by mint, cinnamon and clove. The finish ultimately reveals subtle notes of allspice, coconut and nutmeg. Long and warm.

2. W.L. Weller 12 Year | Aromas of lanolin, almond, creamed corn and toasty vanilla. The mid-palate flavor is heavily wheated, layered and moderately sweet. Long, oaky, and intensely smooth finish.
3. Stagg | Rich, sweet, chocolate and brown sugar flavors mingle in perfect balance with the bold rye spiciness. The boundless finish lingers with hints of cherries, cloves and smokiness.

4. Blanton's Single Barrel Bourbon | A deep, satisfying nose of nutmeg and spices. Powerful dry vanilla notes in harmony with hints of honey amid strong caramel and corn. A medium finish composed of returning corn and nutmeg flavors.

I've never seen this type of tasting notes for Weller 12.

Looks like a great cause!
