That actually worked for me once but the owner was my client so that may have helped.

It has worked on occasion. Never with bourbon but I did have success with a particular rum. And occasionally with an uncommon mixer like Cocchi Americano or a specialty bottle like Pineau des Charentes or sometimes a particular beer or brewery line. Although for the most part these days the larger good stores all carry pretty much the same thing.

Reading this thread has inspired me to open a few bottles have I have recently acquired. I think I will start tomorrow night and open one every night until the New Year is here. On the list to open: 2012 WLW, 2012 GTS, 2012 THH, PVW 15, PVW 20, ORVW 10/107 made in Lawrenceburg, and a FRSB LE 2012. I am looking forward to each and every one of them, just have to figure out which one to open first! Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!

Alllllright KySalesRep!! And a Happy Holiday Season to you too!

I let my taste buds determine where to go next. I usually start out on the bottom shelf or a standard pour to see if I am " in the zone" and go up from there. If I am firing on all cylinders then I will make a move to the cherished goods.
