Amazing, the store sold you almost the entire lineup. I'm hoping my local shop will allow me to get 2 bottles.

Pappy landed in Chicago - by the time you're reading this, it's probably gone.

Anyway, I got a call today from the owner of my local shop and he a had a box for me to pick up :) All MSRP

That phone call beats all of my phone calls,,Nice..you better treat that guy (or gal) real nice....!

Not almost...that's the whole lineup. 10, 12, rye, 15, 20, 23

Nice indeed.

I'm bummed that neither of my stores got any Rye this year apparently!

After I paid, I offered to give him the 15 to auction off at his annual charity auction. He told me to keep it and if I didn't drink it by April, we could talk then.

Nice.... you gotta feed these guys! That's a bit more than I would probably do in my circumstances, but in yours... a very nice gesture!! I just now popped my ORVW10/107 ...it's been a very long time.....MMMMMMMM.

I suppose you get the entire BTAC line up as well?

Sort of against my better judgement, I scooped a Pappy-20 this afternoon. But......

I'm passing it along at my own cost, however to a deserving SB.com member.

THIS is how friends should be sharing their good fortune. The idea of 'flipping' it for an obscene profit never occurred to me. Though, I'm sure it would've been to my financial advantage. But; Hey, would I rather friends and happy associations with like-minded individuals?... or get more money? Attend the Gazebo, just once, and find what this forum is really all about.

That's very generous of you.

Color me jealous, I was blind!

Bought a Michter's 10 year bourbon and promptly traded it away for a PHC8.

Damn good trade!! Well done.

The entire lineup! Bless your good fortune sir. (Or more accurately, the good relationships you've built up over the years.) Well done.

Nice! Hopefully my spot on the list will be near the top for some of this year's BTAC . . .

Grabbed a store selection barrel proof Smooth Ambler Old Scout 9 year bourbon. Excited to crack it...

Do you know if it is the 7 year or 10 year mashbill?

1 GTS and 1 WLW at retail from my old faithful store that always comes through. Actually didn't even order the WLW (from what I can remember), but couldn't pass it up when it was offered.

I got a call on the day BTAC landed, but he had always e-mailed me in the past so I missed it and didn't listen until the next day. I got a Stagg, ER17 and Handy. Missed Weller and Saz18. I did get another 2 Staggs from Binnys and sent one to a fellow SBer at cost b/c he got shut out down south. That was kinda return favor for him giving me a Balcones Rumble Cask Reserve at cost.

Last year for the GTS and WLW. This year for the Saz 18 and ER 17. So, seems very unlikely for the latter 2, hoping for one of the former.

Went into a store to inquire about BTAC (not in yet) and came out with with a 4R PS OESF 10yr 6mo - a recipe I have not yet come across or ever tasted out. Since I'm on a quest to obtain as many recipes as possible, I didn't even have to stop and think about it. Gave it a quick taste and I'm impressed. This one is spicier than most of the other recipes I have.
