Would you be happier if they sold it in plastic? Lol

Guessing it would be more in line with the product inside. Just guessing here.

I counted Texas five times on the packaging alone. That's all I needed to see...sign me up for a case!

Seriously, I hope it's very fine bourbon for that price. Let us know how it is.

The only thing they forgot to add in that fancy packaging is a self-addressed stamped envelope in which to mail the $140.01 refund request.

Guess we won't be seeing those 'Garrison on Board' stickers on pickup truck bumpers.

I think they said a very significant portion of it went to the Hill Country stores. Maybe call around there? If it's good I may go look for another bottle while in San Antonio this weekend

I live in VA boys. My chance to try it has come and gone :(. I heard Poison Girl also serves PVW for relatively cheap. True?

No comment. Don't want to ruin a good thing :lol:

As for the GB Cowboy bourbon - for that price they should do what Wild Turkey is doing with coke - throw in a bottle of club soda.

Seriously Don_Draper - call the Spec's Smith Street Store (downtown Houston) and ask them to ship it. They can and will if they have it (assuming you're not a no-ship state). It shows in inventory right now for $154.73

If you weren't down here this week (Wed) when it came out, that's why you didn't find it.

It's not flying off the shelves by any stretch (sorry, but we Texans aren't as totally gullible as people think...). I know that at least two Specs here in Dallas have couple of bottles - because they've texted me to offer a bottle yesterday and today :skep:. If you can't get it via Specs, PM me and I'll track one down for you if you want.

For the record: I've bought more than a few bottles of regular Garrison early on (their first release ever was a 375ml for $80 available only in the Hill Country area)... and I've tried it many times. I have traded away most of my bottles (I have one of the first 750ml releases still) and won't buy anymore. I just don't find the regular releases drinkable at any price.

I will say this much...

If you like Garrison Bros whiskey, you will LOVE this bourbon.

If you don't like Garrison Bros whiskey, you could probably find a few nice things to say about this bourbon anyway.

I'll see if I can wrangle a taste out of Chip & Winston. Not sure if the bottle is in Waco or he brought it back to Dallas... either way, I'll try to snag a tiny sip at some point.

It's in Waco. You need to come down for the day again sometime soon anyway.

BW, for the Option #2 people, can I consider a positive comment on the snazzy packaging as a possible nice thing? :D

I'm Smknjoe #2 and Smokinjoe is "The Original Smokinjoe"

Not only is he the current bourbonian of the year, but he has actually tasted the standard Garrison Brothers. I have not tried it yet.
