Renegator Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Headed to the motherland later this week. I want to swing by the 4 Roses Gift Shop but the last two times I have been they were completely sold out of bottles. Has anyone been recently? Does anyone know what they may have?

petrel800 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 You could always call them. They've been known to hold stuff if you're really nice and give them a credit card. (502) 839-2655Have fun, Rutledge usually doesn't miss with the gift shop stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luther.r Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Early last week Lawrenceburg was out but Coxs Creek had quite a few recipes in stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is anything that strikes you as exceptional, march right back in the gift shop and buy more of it. I wish I had done this when I visited.

KySalesRep Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I was at L'burg last Saturday and they had 5 recipes: OBSK, OESK, OBSO, OESQ and OESF. I called today and they told me they still had all 5, but they were selling fast. I think calling ahead is a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad thing is it will be at least two weeks before I can get down there in person to purchase with cash so the wife doesn't find out. Looks like I might just have to take the ass chewing and put it on the card so she sees it and make sure I get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcgumbohead Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Been there!! LOL. Ya picks yer battles. I have picked this very one on occasion, eventually dust settles, peace is restored and I enjoy my Four Roses.Yeah I talked to them today by phone and was told things were moving fast.

Renegator Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 Thanks for the replys. I just got back from my Kentucky trip and they had 5 barrel selections. They were same as listed above in post #6 which were OBSK, OESK, OBSO, OESQ and OESF. I grabbed a bottle of OBSO and OESK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auracom Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Glad they were still well-stocked for you! Having not been myself, just curious about the price per bottle in the gift shop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petrel800 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Last time I was there I think they were $59.99 for the BP offerings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auracom Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Thanks and more thanks, 'gents. So about $10 more than the store picks around my area, but with Mr. Jim's very capable choosing and a little added age, I'll surely be a buyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbroo5880i Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I may be wrong but I believe many distilleries price gift shop offerings a little higher, while trying to make them a little different or special, so they don't compete with local retailers. If you visit the gift shop, you have to buy something! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvergladeSlim Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Was that pre-tax or out the door? The last bottles I got from there were ~$63 out the door...last November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegator Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 They are $63 plus tax which came to about $67 out the door. It is about $10 more than a traditional private selection but I'll happily pay that to have one selected by the esteemed Mr. Rutledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrooklynBorbone Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I have a couple of each set aside for me for this weekend...any of these stand out to you? Any news if there will be any new selections this week? The viscosity of the gift shop picks I've had in the past is incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegator Posted July 8, 2014 Author Share Posted July 8, 2014 Unfortunately, I haven't opened mine yet. My favorite recipe happens to be OBSO which is why I picked one of those up. To me the Q and F yeast strains can be hit or miss so I tend to not buy a whole bottle unless I can taste them first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
