ErichPryde Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I'm trying to source a bottle of Old Potrero Hotaling's Whiskey, but none of the online retailers I've found with an internet search seem to have it. Any of you out there seen any around that a retailer might be willing to ship? Binnys? I almost had a bottle sometime back from a retailer in california, until they quit returning my calls. I can find the younger, barrel proof versions locally for approximately 70 dollars, but I'm hesitant to try them. If someone knows of a retailer that might have a bottle and would be willing to ship, that would be spectacular. thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sku Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I think that was the 30 cases was a first run at eleven years old. Since then, they have come out with successive runs. I've seen a 13 and 15 year old, though I don't know if they have done it annually. That being said, I haven't seen any version on a store shelf for ages.

jinenjo Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 I'm on the look-out for this as well. I live within driving distance of Anchor and frustratingly have had an easier time finding OP either on the East coast or online (from non-California retailers). I miraculously came upon their straight rye recently, what I believe to be their latest batch, and it is excellent. We did an Old Potrero vertical over at the East Bay Study Group last month and this bottle--batch G--was a standout for me (even though I had to leave the tasting early :frown: ).As for when the Hotalings? I suggest emailing them from their website. I did get a response from them when I posed a question. Let us know if you find anything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffer Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Not sure if you all are still looking for this, but the distiller (Anchor Brewing) is out of stock at the moment, but will be producing more sometime in the spring. In the meantime they suggested trying the Johnny Walker liquor store on Sutter or Andronico's.'If, as they say, God spanked the town For being over frisky, Why did He burn the churches down And save Hotaling’s whiskey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've switched over to hunting down a bottle of whistlepig (which online retailers DO have but may not be willing to ship to this particular state!)Do you know where a bottle is for a decent price?

(not including shipping).PM me if you'd like more info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinenjo Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I'm still trying (most likely in vain) to find a bottle of their latest release, the 15 y.o. Anybody have or know of one? I have some good things to offer for it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master_Photog Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 The Old Potrero products are an extremely tough find, but once you have it, you'll appreciate the effort! This American rye whiskey is as good as it gets, I cannot begin to compare this rye whiskey with anything I've ever tried. Even trying to do so, would do this product an enormous disservice!

Master_Photog Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 you've got the right idea scott - the light is behind the object (your window). Not to turn this into a photography lesson, but when photographing glass - light must be coming from behind. This is opposite when shooting people (with a camera).chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
