MacinJosh Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 FWIW, I saw bottles available at two different stores in Indy last weekend. I have no idea how long they were there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfish Posted September 8, 2011 Author Share Posted September 8, 2011 That didn't take long. Jake Norris has now decamped as well. Good article about Stranahan's today on Westword.The interview with Jake mentioned in the piece Chuck linked to is now on-line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 They've been there for years....and still there. Most of us aren't too big on it around here.JoshSent from my iPhone using TapatalkI almost bought one at the Keystone Kahn's last time I was there, but I just couldn't get over the price.

DeanSheen Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 The interview with Jake mentioned in the piece Chuck linked to is now on-line.Why did you leave? I am not one to hang around and watch someone bridle a wild pony. There you have it. Product is now > Process.Nice read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowdery Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 One thing about this story that has been mis-reported is that people keep calling Proximo 'a big company.' Everything is relative, of course, but Proximo is not a significant player in the distilled spirits business. As I will say in my blog post about it tomorrow, Proximo isn't a pimple on Diageo's ass.

ThomasH Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 There are a few bottles of this still on the shelf of one of the local liquor stores. A got a bottle years back on sale. Definitely something I wouldn't pay full price for!Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowdery Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 This week I've exchanged emails with a Proximo executive and chatted with Jess Graber. It's a new normal but Stranahan's seems to be settling into it. More here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bourbon Boiler Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 They've been there for years....and still there. Most of us aren't too big on it around here.I sampled it, and the flavor is unique, but nothing to justify the pricing. I guess they'll sit a few more years.

cbus Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Looks like their website was updated about a week ago... first time in quite a while. Says that they're releasing another one of their "snowflakes." Nothing about distribution or anything of the like. Hoping this is a good sign, however.

ebo Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I like the flavor profile of Stranahan's. I still have 3/4 of a bottle that was distilled in '08.I hope it gets distributed in Ohio again. I think this could be really good stuff with a little more age on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowdery Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Proximo says their plan is to stay just in Colorado until they have enough supply to satisfy demand there and only then will they expand, although I think they're hedging that by letting a little bit get into some major markets like LA and Chicago.When you start to see Jess Graber again, that will be the signal that they're expanding.

ILLfarmboy Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I like the flavor profile of Stranahan's. I still have 3/4 of a bottle that was distilled in '08.I like it too. I love that something between coffee and caramel thing it has on the nose.Sure its overpriced but all micros are. I think there are too many folks who would pass on it because of the price but then throw money away on something completely nonsensical like bottled water or lottery tickets.
