tritioch Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Anyone notice two seperate bottling dates on the cases for 2012 GTS? Dates stamped on the cases looks like one was done on February 28th and the other on March 5th. More importantly, has anyone tried bottles and is willing to comment?

DW2012 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Hi, everyone,I don't often get a chance to read or post here, but I want to thank those that contributed to this thread. I've only ever gotten my hands on GTS 2007 (despite waiting lists), though I have tasted others in the series (WLW and Saz - both AMAZING) and it's great to have this information available. On that note, does anyone here know who is responsible at BT for deciding territory allocation or territory introduction? By the latter, I mean who decides to make it available to a liquor control board in a particular state or territory? Understandably, the spirits buyer needs to know about the product, but surely, encouraging BT to make contact with said buyer can't hurt either. I would just like to drop a kind word to BT to please think of bourbon drinkers in Quebec, Canada, when considering annual releases. Bourbon selection is getting better and better here, but a little encouragement can't hurt. Cheers,DW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramblinman Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 newb here, and just discovering that I really like the BT juice, like many of you. Is the stuff from the BTAC able to be found at the retail level or does it disappear from the shelves as quick as the van winkle stuff these days? I'm really intrigued by a few of these, and wondering if I should even dream about getting to sample them without getting very lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really intrigued by a few of these, and wondering if I should even dream about getting to sample them without getting very lucky.In 2012, only the Handy was sitting on shelves in the six states I searched during the release. Best bet is get on lists at many liquor stores and make friends with the owner or whiskey sales manager. Thanks to a dozen lists I was able to acquire multiples of all but WLW.

squire Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 The BTAC seems to be more in demand than they were, probably because they are noticed by those seeking the more popular Van Winkles. Still not that hard to come by though (a fair number are made available each year) and you may be able to reserve a bottle or two through your local dealer.

Meruck Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Your close Sir Squire, BTAC and all the other BT bottlings are in more demand largley becuase of thier relentless and aggresive marketing. They do and say things that make you want thier whisk(e)y. All these experiments that are very ultra limited edition cuase most to buy thier readily available names and bottles. There is no accident in the method to thier madness. I will say though that I found a serious error in thier "media kit" web sit. I brought it to the attention of the President: Mark Brown. No change yet. Its in the bios of the Van Winkles. Anyway. They make good wiskey, and thats the reason thier bottles continue to be sought after. Otherwise it would just be a flash in the pan......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ejmharris Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Wait, are you serious? Relentless and aggressive marketing? If you were talking about Jim Beam, I might see that, but not BT/BTAC for sure.I must be missing the relentless advertising as well. Not sure I have ever seen an add for BTAC product.

wadewood Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 OK, looked through this thread hoping to find some early fact sheets. 2005 WLW is not here as well as about anything prior to this. Where the facts sheets always included in the cases going back to 1st year in 2000 or was this added later? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
