Once a year allocation for Pappy?

[Restaurant man]

I got it on good authority today that after the spring release, Buffalo Trace and Vanwinkle have decided to go with 1 annual allocation. It is there way of dealing with the HYSTERIA and hoards of angry people who have been left out.

[stevegoz]

Wasn't there some other claim/rumor that there wouldn't be a spring 2012 allocation?

[Old Lamplighter]

I sure did not expect to see one this spring. All I heard during the onrush of Nov-Dec, was that it would be 'same time next year'. It sure would be nice to have one though without all the holiday hoopla. Maybe it might even show up on a few shelves again.

[Ejmharris]

The conspiracy theorist in me says the spring release will just go to international markets where they even a higher premium. Are we really supposed to be believe a company these days is here to look out for our best interest and release when it won't cause such hysteria. I know these guys are a lot more open about their products, so if they announce it I will trust it more but I will still do so with a lot of apprehension.

Sigh. I hate the fact that it's basically impossible to get any old wheaters at ALL.

Weller 12 -> Nearly impossible to find.

ORVW -> Well... you know...

Old Fitz 12 -> Never seen it.

PHC 10 year -> seen it, far away, for a lot of money.

They already posted on FB that they are bottling the spring 2012 release, and that was weeks ago.

I see that they're having a spring release so it's really a moot point, but why wouldn't they want to have one. They don't care how difficult it is to get; in fact it's only beneficial to them if you hear about it long before you get to try it. The mystique will obviously color your first sip when you eventually get to try some. Trickling it out in both a spring and fall release means that people are always talking about it.

Limited release with continued discussion/ appreciation leads to higher demand and, thus, higher prices/ profits. It's a brilliant business strategy and likely the end of the era of huge amounts being bunkered away in our cellars.

Out of all the wheated variations coming from BT, the Pappy 15 blows them all out of the water. WLW comes closest, but to my palate, Pappy barrel selection took priority in '11 and I hope it continues to be so selective going forward.

It sad, but recently it seems like its been easier to get the PHC 10 than any of the other listed above- at least from what I've seen. That's just seems plain wrong.

This is the most exciting news to hit these boards in months!!!!! Now, I only have to get through the fortyeleven PVW threads that coincide with it's release just once per year!!! Only once per year will I have to gut it through......"Anybody know when Pappy's release date is?"; "Wahoo, I'm the first to report seeing Pappy in a store!!!!! :woohoo:"; "My store only got 1 bottle of 15. :smiley_acbt::banghead:::hot::smiley_acbt:. How many did your store get???" "Is Pappy 15 still Stitzel-Weller?"; "Is Pappy 20 still Stitzel-Weller?"; "Is Pappy 23 still Stitzel-Weller?"; "Damn this chafes my shorts, the 15 yr is $114 here!!! :hot::hot::hot:How much is it in your area???"; "Hi my name is Mort, i just signed up here...can anyone tell me where I can buy Pappy?"; "Anybody seen Pappy in Cooter Station, West Virginia yet?"; "Hey, can anyone tell me if my bottle is Stitzel-Weller?"; "Sound off! Who has their Pappy?"; "This Pappy is great juice....Who agrees with me?!?!?!":bowdown::bowdown:; "Good News! Webcam showing Pappy being bottled today!!!!"; "So, when did Stitzel-Weller stop distilling?"; "How much do the Pappy's cost in your area??"; "Somebody stole my Pappy!! :hot::hot::hot:"; "Why can't they just start up Stitzel-Weller again??:(:("; "Preston just tweeted that Pappy 15 is really 15 years and 3 MONTHS!!!!!" :woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:; "Are we sure the 15 year is now BT??????"; "Goodbye all, I dropped my Pappy....BANG!! :pope:"; "What's 1,992 + 15???"; "Is Stizzel-Willur still distilling?"; "What should I do with my 17 bottles of Pappy 15???" :confused::confused:; "Is E-Bay a good place to buy Pappy 15??" :confused::confused:; "I know this has probably been asked before, but does anyone know if the current release of Pappy 15 is from the legendary Stitzel-Weller Distillery??"

Ahhhhh. The Springs will be so nice....:bis::bis::bis:

PHC 10 is long gone from this area.

I'll take the WLW over Pappy 15 any day. I've tried to like the Pappy 15, but I'm not getting the hype. I like the BTAC a lot more and it easier to find and cheaper.

Freaking hilarious Joe, I don't think you missed a thing!!!:bowdown:

Edit:: Ooops...you totally missed the dot matrix coding thingy

[fishnbowljoe]

Atta Boy Joe. :grin: I know it's only February, but........ that has post of the year written all over it. :bowdown:

[BigRich]

Joe,

I'm not the most perceptive fellow around but I'm sensing a little annoyance. Maybe some sarcasm?

You hit the nail on the head with that post Joe. That is half of this board twice a year! :smiley_acbt:

[Tico]

[Lost Pollito]

Thank You Joe! Gotta be my favorite post.:grin:

[White Dog]

Outstanding, Joe!

I think the 15yrs and 3 months Preston tweet was my favorite part.:slappin: :slappin: :slappin: :slappin: :slappin:

[Restaurant man]

Ohh and I forgot to mention the 10 year 90 proof is history. Probably no love lost here. Might see it in the spring but then it gets dropped. According to my source with sazerac

Bravissimo!

Will that mean more 10/107? Or is that just wishful thinking!:grin:

Is the Weller 12 year really that hard to find around the country? Not here...
