The Black Tot Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 (edited) 9 hours ago, glen said: Main draw for me, has been the Pappy allocation at straight retail price. This year, while not able to get another 20 yr, I had to (settle) for another bottle of 10 yr, at $80! $80 is not retail for Old Rip. Not that I wouldn't have bought it either, but it's $60 I think.

lcpfratn Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 $80 is not retail for Old Rip. Not that I wouldn't have bought it either, but it's $60 I think.Retail in TN is actually in the high $80 range. I've found that suggested retail prices by the distilleries don't always work out by the time everybody takes their cut in different states with different operating rules and tax structures.

The Black Tot Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 They seem to have a disproportionate failure to work out when they are limited editions... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't, but if what I was told is true, it will be 8-12 weeks from the website purchase before anyone will be able to get their hands on it (here at least).

WCP Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Our chance for Pappy is tomorrow at 9:01....can anyone give advise as to the best approach to secure a purchase? Can I already be logged in to the concierge page or do I have to use the email link at 9:01? Any advise/tips would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how you intend to boost your chances, but I already have my BLAF (Bourbon Lottery Assault Force) team in place (see below). Good luck! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flahute Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Just now, meadeweber said: So what did you get Steve? PVW 15yr. It's my favorite of the VW line. It was hard to pass up GTS and WLW but I have a shot at getting one of those from another store. Way harder to get the VW's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any advise/tips would be appreciated. see my post from last friday... best advice, be sure your concierge account is working and actually walk through a sample concierge purchase (you have to designate local store, buyer info, credit card, etc.), then you can cancel the sample purchase. then have a US Naval Obs time clock running and click on that link at 9:00:00. let us know how you do!

GeeTen Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 TW Concierge system worked this morning! PVW20 was sold out in an instant, but I scored my second choice. Charged the credit card already for delivery in 8-12 weeks. I can wait and drink my HWMND Act 5, Scene 4 on a cold night, tho'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertckim Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 In Nevada, was lucky to score a PVW15. My friend somehow got the PVW23 - bastard. I was tee'd up, ready to go, but worked down the list from the 23, 20 to the 15 before I could add anything to my cart. Lucked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie76 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Was able to pick up a PVW 20. Wasn't sure as system slowed way down during checkout but credit card charged and received confirmation email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Tot Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 (edited) I thought I'd place a call to investigate. "Unfortunately NONE of these bottles were allocated to the Texas market. At all" So there's your Grand Reserve reward, my Lone Star State friends. None, and done. Edited November 2, 2017 by The Black Tot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is a bright side, if you bought any amount of 'direct' items, it was a discounted kick in sack, and you still get to drink the $1700-$2500 you spent (that's how I'm trying to rationalize it, at least).
