I just bought 6 bottles (3 max) but I used 2 email addresses. 

 

Not it sure if I'm allowed to post where but it's USA 750ml bottles. 

 

It's a CA store

Oh boy oh boy. What is the MSRP for this? I can find it from one site that ships to my state but it's $220 which I have to imagine is well over retail. I would also like to know which store you've found it at.

I'd be shocked if these guys have any left in stock, considering how fast word spreads in the bourbon community.

For the record I know of a few places in NY that have it around $150, I just have a hard time paying that much.

No, I didn't pursue it since stores can't ship to Tx.

It's such a nice hobby to be a part of, until I read things like this.

You can buy both online from various places in the US but you are going to significantly overpay.  I assume these shops purchase the bottles from another retailer and then resell them.  This may not be the case but I wonder how they get the bottles when they are not distributed in the U.S.  You have to wonder if a shop can buy something duty free or import it and then sell it legally if it was obtained outside of their state's distribution system.

kL wine. They had over 100 each gold and sftb. 

 

$99 was cost for both. 

 

750 ml.  SO IT WAS MADE FOR US MARKET

 

 

Dont know know why gold was same price but it was.  And it sold out faster than sftb. 

 

 

I guess sftb and gold coming to USA.

They set the limit of three so that they could spread it around, end result of this is 1-3 people missed out on an opportunity. Bad Karma...

Are there any other countries besides USA that bottle at 750mL?  Is everyone else at 700mL for their standard bottle size?  Do US territories outside of USA proper (like Puerto Rico and Guam, eg) bottle at 750mL?  I guess I'm just curious how a retail store in USA can get these in standard sizes, and if that does in fact mean they will start becoming available...  Seems like word would have gotten out about that, or at least rumors would have started by now.

And I was at BT yesterday doing a tour and asked the guide if the SFTB Blantons was ever going to be released in the US and he said no.  Huh?

I have a Blanton's SFTB that came from the Caribbean in a 750ml bottle.

In case you're too dense to figure it out, you're being slammed for being greedy.

Actually, most of us wouldn't because we've been around long enough to know there's always something else waiting around the corner and part of the fun of this hobby is sharing with others.

When I found 3 bottles of Stagg Jr at $43, and 4 bottles of SAOS Rye at $39 I bought 1 bottle, and left the others for the next guys...
