WT 12 yo - Houston. Which One of You Got It?

[Neat]

during a recent dusty hunting outing, the store owner and i got to talking and he told me that a few years ago, some guy had 4 or 5 CASES :bigeyes: of wt 12 yo for sale (store owner doesn't know how he got it - this was not a distributer but a private individual who wanted to unload the turkeys) and the store owner bought it all. he quickly sold out. (DUH). anyone here get some of this treasure trove? if so, any left?

I'm guessing that this supposedly took place in Houston?

I highly doubt that this actually happened seeing that most liquor store owners aren't looking to break TABC law. He could lose his license for such a purchase.

I've bought rare older bottles on 2 different occasions from store owners who bought back bottles from spouses or families of customers who had passed away.

I also found 9 bottles of WT 12 year split labels this year. I'm sure there are quite a few left out there somewhere.

I highly doubt a place like Spec's would take the risk, but I know of a bunch of Mom & Pop liquor stores that would likely be interested in the risk.

Yes. Houston. I don't know for a fact - just what he told me. Two different times. During my dusty hunts, I've run into liquor store owners who openly purchase stolen goods (power tools, cell phones, etc., ) and re-sell them in their store. Forget losing license, they could go to jail for that crap.

I'll confess,.. Northwest offers some cheap trips from Detroit to Houston ,...sorry to say I scored them all.

I've only ever been to Houston airport. I did purchase 9 gold foil WT12's in the Clearwater, FL area a few years back!
