It's very possible to have a high price over MSRP on VW and not on 4R Ltd Eds. Four Roses doesn't have near the poseur appeal of VW, and even if some are starting to catch on, it won't be close for several years.Quote:

I'm sure you're right about the FR LE's but considering the hype over this year's I certainly wouldn't count on it getting any easier to acquire. But really, FR and VW are totally different machines with VW as the cool looking runaway train built by someone else and FR as...something strong and controlled and building speed gradually built by FR... or something :skep:
Personally, like many here, I'd let everyone else go crazy over VW while I quietly stock up on the FR releases.
It may be closer then you think Josh. In pass years I've had no problem finding the LE's . But this year I've struggled to find one of each.Quote:

You can still walk into most any store around here and find the 2012 SmB LE. Most of the past years can be had, too. I'm with Josh in thinking that a comparable 4R boom may be years away, if ever in coming. Although every little bit of extra positive press they do receive makes me cringe just a little more in anticipation of it.
I'd like to see where/how these are distributed. Meaning do all regions get a relatively equal share?Quote:

Let the lurkers and flippers lust for VW and BTAC. Let's keep our own future rosy, so to to speak.
Deal? Maybe we could have a code word of some sort.
Great idea. We should only discuss terrible whiskey so that we throw off the trail of other people that are interested in whiskey. I can't wait.Quote:

Quick update. Trade worked! Traded straight up. I would like to thank the VW hype for making this possible...Quote:
