Van Winkle bottles....Spring allocation

[RegChumpington]

Seems like this may have come and gone from Southern California shelves already? I saw a couple of sellers you-know-where with SoCal as their location. Curious if anyone came away lucky... I apparently blinked. (sheesh)

To add further support, wripvanwinkle just reported in the post above that ORVW confirmed on Facebook that the fall release of the PVW 15 is from the S-W bottling.

:slappin:

I demand to see Julian van Winkle's birth certificate.

I've seen 20yr and 23yr arrive on shelves here in Vail over the last couple of weeks, no 15yr though...any other sightings in CO?

[PappyVW23]

haven't seen the 20 or 23 in my neck of the woods either.

[jfw]

Nope, haven't seen any new 20 or 23 here in MD or DE.

There is, however, still some left on the shelf from previous releases.

According to our ABC manager, there is no spring allocation heading towards Virginia's stated owned and operated monopoly run stores.

Not true according to the VanWinkle Facebook page:

Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery "The Virginia order is in the system. It is up to them to schedule pickup. It will likely ship in the next week or two at the latest."

Thanks, I'll bird dog it and talk to another manager that might be more in the know.

Found this as well:

Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery "Virginia will get 12 and 20 year. There is an order for 5 cases of 20yr in the system now. Would assume there will be more to follow."

Hello wripvanwrinkle:

I too have been asking around and what I've been told is that some of the fall bottles were held for special accounts that recently became "open" allocations. A few stores and restaurants in the valley received some 20 and/or 23 year. I'll ask around about that rumor of spring bottles being held for the fall. BTW, do you know of any bars/restaurants in your area that serve the 15yr? Pm me. Thanks

I don't get out much, but the likely candidates that *might* have an open bottle of pvw15 are:

Bull and Bush

Whiskey Bar

Shanahans

Elways

I live in Los Angeles and I bought three bottles of 15 yo from a shop in TN and had my friend ship them to me. One-stop in Johnson City, TN, I left one. Doubt my friend will ship it to you though. Nice guy though and doesn't care for whiskey so it arrived safe.

As far as I know, the CA allocation isn't here. Anyone know when?

I feel lucky to have three right now.
