WhiskyRI Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 @Cowdery - maybe they are releasing it "early" as a soft release. It's definitely out in MA - in fact it's pretty much sold out everywhere I've been to. I was able to pick up two bottles out of sheer luck - I was in the store asking about it and the whisky guy pointed to the unopened box. Suddenly my wallet was $200 lighter. Rumor is, it is not coming to Rhode Island - being the smallest state really sucks sometimes when it comes to allocations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyOldKyDram Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 That's just the number of the various Booker witticism inside. I think mine is #12, "Bourbon. Is there anything it can't do?" or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kpiz Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Bourbonr.com was trying to put a full list together. It'd be more fun to do it on SB thoughSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garbanzobean Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Just a heads up for Maryland SBers: I overheard a conversation between a distributor rep and my whiskey guy that the distributor has its shipment of Booker 25th and will be delivering to stores starting next week. Said distributor claimed that there are 30 cases total allotted to Maryland. My whiskey guy asked for 10 cases for his store and got laughed at. I assume there are somewhere between 3 and six bottles per case, but you all know where counting on assumptions usually gets you. I plan on giving this release a pass, but am certainly happy to let other MD SBers know if I happen across a bottle of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dSculptor Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Saw 2 of them sitting on the shelf, I guess they were waiting for me,so I obliged. #20,and #18 the 18 states: If you not completely satisified with Booker's Bourbon,send back the unused portion and we'll drink it! ....That's a good one!

GreggJ Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Brought home bottle #04 yesterday. Anybody pop this bad boy open yet and sample the goods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiskeyagonzo Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Brought home bottle #04 yesterday. Anybody pop this bad boy open yet and sample the goods?I have and I like it. I prefer to give it about 20 min in the glass and add just a few tiny drops of water. What does Bookerism #4 say? I've heard there are about 25 of them.

tanstaafl2 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Was offered one for under $100 so decided to give it a go. I believe it is #02 but don't remember the associated quote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garbanzobean Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 If any of you Maryland folk are interested in picking this up, PM me and I'll let you know you where it can be obtained. I'm giving it a pass, but I am more than happy to share the love with y'all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
risenc Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Anyone know where/if it's available in the NYC region? I swear, I thought moving to the big city would give me access to everything -- movies, museums, everything. But who cares about those things when you have to wait two/three months for an allocation? We just got EWSB 04 a couple of weeks ago. I know, boo-hoo ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restaurant man Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Our restaurant got our allocation today. We buy about $10,000 worth of liquor a month and only got 1 measly bottle. 30 bottles total for restaurants in georgia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About a month ago Astor said not till mid-March earliest, so i believe it should be soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
