PaulO Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 What's with the photo on the ad. I don't know what type of clientele they're trying to attract or what else goes on there? Maybe not my type of place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have all sorts of comments and jokes running through my head, but let's just stick with that is a very odd, and probably poorly placed, advertisement.

RWBadley Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I'm pretty sure a shapely Femme would have been better marketing It looks like San Francisco finally hit Minnesota. Not that there's anything wrong with that.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Tot Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I think it's perfect advertising. They're trying to ensure they only get people with a sense of humor. That ought to cut the crowd down by at least 70%, which means maybe only three times as many people as bottles. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlutz Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 I posted this over in the rye forum but wanted to mention it here as well. Not earthshaking news, but the price point on The Black Prince went over the line for most. Local ABC is cutting its losses. Most of their sale prices are for a month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaiserhog Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Don't know if it has peaked yet but it will. A cooling off period will benefit us afficianados as it will mean more time in the barrel as sales are not as brisk. Maybe we will get some small price relief but I wouldn't count on that one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FasterHorses Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Just overheard a distributor telling one of our larger LS mangers that they will be increasing their numbers of BT and Blantons specifically by 30%. Was trying to eavesdrop and hear if this would include any other or all BT productions but they walked out of earshot. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinjoe Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Things overheard in a liquor store, particularly from distributor reps, should be taken with a boulder size grain of salt... Context is important, here. Could be the LS will get 4 bottles of Blanton’s a quarter, instead of 3... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 ^^^^ I’d add that if recent releases of Weller products are taken into consideration, the rolling blackouts that are/have been/were in effect have produced the desired result. Because IMO recent quality, if anything, has gone up... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
