KySalesRep Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I wasn't familiar with her, but I enjoyed her notes on these releases. Interesting that she's so big on the Handy. And I know somebody that will love the "sorghum" note in the Saz 18.Sounds like the Ryes have it! :grin: And of course, the sorghum notes sound good to me, can't wait to try these. If only I had some help in locating these :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only I had some help in locating these :cool:The question is will they arrive and disappear before we even know it. And, if we get a shot to buy one or two, will it be close to MSRP.

MauiSon Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 (edited) This will be my first shot at a retail bottle - I'm in a store raffle, though I may choose a Pappy [if I win] instead. Oops, sorry for the thread drift comment in this BTAC info thread. Edited October 4, 2013 by MauiSon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only I had some help in locating these :cool:Good luck. More of the "much less than last year" song and dance from the distributor. Non big box places are looking at single bottles of all but the stagg instead of a full 3 pack case. Evidently there is more stagg this year than last.

KCJason1 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Shouldn't BTAC be out by now? I am pretty sure BTAC went on sale in PA last year on September 25th. We haven't even had a glimpse with a review.Went to a local store today.. The lady a bourbon fanatic said prolly 2 weeks for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtnDew Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I checked with one of my local retailers and they thought early November for here, but that was just speculation. My hopes of getting a bottle this year are very low but I can always try... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Reserve Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 About three years ago, a local party store had a bottle or two of THH from several years perhaps 10 bottles total, then one day they were all gone.

tigerlam92 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 From what multiple vendor told me THH is more popular in the east coast and less so in west coast. It usually hang around all year over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It usually hang around all year over here.THH is quite easy to find around me, I know of a few stores that have bottles from 2010-2012. I have seen stores with multiple bottles in NY, NJ, DE, and MD.

MtnDew Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Seems like the Thomas Handy is readily available here year round. I've never seen THH here in the PACNW available but we just recently changed from state stores to private so the purchasing and distributing is all changed now. Previous to the last few years I was blissfully unaware of the BTAC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joboyd Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Nope. It was Dec. 1 last year when Big Red released its allotment, and that was before they took over all those Indianapolis chains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWBadley Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 My local has the Stagg and Weller. He said he could only sell me one bottle. Period. I took the Stagg. Lower proof at 128 something. Anybody taste this one yet?? Compared to the Weller? Another place has the 18 yo Rye, but I've not bought into that yet as I still have some from last, and find myself pulling more on the Stagg and Weller's.Cheers,RW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P&MLiquorsEric Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I've seen several Kentucky folks posting bottles this morning...That sight has done nothing good for the bourbon community. It has made it significantly harder for the average person to get a bottle at retail. Buying up everything and posting a for sale post from the car.

I got one emailer from a Louisville store saying their allocation was going on sale at 6pm. Unfortunately (fortunately?) I'm getting married this weekend and can't get down there to wait in line tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It goes on sale at retailers one day and posted for sale by the bourbon paparazzi the same day. Hard enough to get and find before the age of shelf-cleaners. Confoundit!

Are people that far down on their luck these days? Is it worth their time and effort? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
final442 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Also on the fact sheet for the Saz 18, it says the initial distillation occurred in 1985, but then they don't list the actual age at the bottom of the sheet like they did with all of the other releases. Was it taken out at 18 and been sitting around for 10 years waiting to be bottled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
