morebourbon85 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Any of you guys have luck with using the Amex concierge to search for rare/hard to find bourbons? Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAbiker Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 the "rare" bourbons I'm hunting for are called "dusties" and doubt seriously AMEX can help in any way. Most of the places I find them don't take cards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravensfire Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 If you have an Amex Black, I'd be shocked if they couldn't turn up a few bottles for you. Lower tiers, that's an interesting question. Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morebourbon85 Posted September 27, 2016 Author Share Posted September 27, 2016 I have the platinum. I put the request in and they should get back to me within a few days. The guy seemed pretty helpful. Let's see. I'll let you guys know. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berto Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I'm sure the concierge can use google or wine searcher to find any number of shops selling bottles at secondary prices or higher. It's an interesting idea to try but I doubt it will yield anything at reasonable prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcbt Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Seems to me that for every concierge who probably doesn't know much about bourbon, there are 100 (1000? more?) hobbyists exhausting more avenues than a concierge would know to check to find these same bottles. Which is to say, I wouldn't hold my breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amg Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Oh, I bet they'll find some. It will probably be one or more of the stores selling it for more than secondary prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
