In Virginia you can go into an ABC store and special order pretty much anything.  Thats not to say they can always get it but they will try.  Sometimes you have to order a case.  I've done this with Old Ezra 107 before

Each store has a special order book with the items that are available for order. They don't special order commonly available whiskeys like JB and conversely you can't go in and special order things like PVW or Wellers. There was a poster (Jazz_June, apologies for getting that wrong) who told me he special ordered VOB BIB from the store in Vienna and they had some extras for sale.  I mad a beeline there and got a bottle and asked about the special order process. The manager gave me the book and when leafing thru it I couldn't find VOB BIB listed. ????

Wow..Ritt is over $30?? Its low $20s here. On sale it usually hits $19.99.  I think $45-$55 is about where Pikesville usually lives.

Pikesville is $60/$65 (depending on store) and Ritt is $32 everywhere here...

I can't quite read the top labels.  Are those WFEs the newer ones distilled by Willett?

These are 6yr rye single barrels, 5yr bourbons (both of those are their distillate) and two different 14yrs which are obviously sourced whiskey.

From the ABC website

If I don’t see a specific product, can I still order the product?

If a product is not listed in our product catalog, not available for ordering online or is not stocked in stores, please see your local store about placing a special order. Virginia ABC can usually obtain a product as long as it is carried by a U.S. distributor. For some products, you may be required to purchase a full case.

 

 

They can order anything even if not in the special order book.  You just have to find an ABC manager that will do the work.  I've done it for OE 7/101, VOB BIB, HH 6year BIB and Wild Turkey Rye 101

Intended on picking up the KC CS Rye's when I saw them in stock at one of my favorite stores, $58.99 to boot, $39 for 7ish year barrel proof MGP is something I am all over all day long and the Paul John was on clearance as well for $38, I'm a sucker for a good deal.

Glass. OC8 is Louisville, so should be pre '2000 per my knowledge. They're not much but I'm happy to have them... Would love an OC10 at some point.

I have only had the Weller. Any opinions on the others? The Jeferesons is a wheater.

Nice haul, the KC rye CS seems like a winner, lots high praise about it. Enjoy! 

 

Will.

Picked up a couple more John J Bowman Single Barrels, since I seem to run through it quickly and it was priced right. Also picked up a Blade and Bow to take yo the cabin this weekend because it is one of my brother-in-law’s favorites. Also picked up a Romberger’s, because I have heard good things about it. Never had it before, so it very well might be a shelf tu**.IMG_8120.JPG

Stopped by my favorite LS tonight for the first time in three weeks, and they had been holding this for me. I had no idea they had gotten any in.

Pikesville is one my favorite readily available ryes.  I might be a little spoiled since I can normally find it in the low $40s.  Availability might affect someone's price point but I don't believe I would pay more than $50.  Of course, if I have never seen it before and would like to try it, I would maybe go a little higher.

Ya I agree. I would probably try it at least once to say that I tried it. I just hope that I hate it so I don't need to get more lol

1792 FP store pickIMG_8352.JPG

Very cool.  I've never seen a store pick Full Proof.  We see the store pick Single Barrels around here.  That are quite good in my experience.  Hope that one is too.

I see more store pick Full Proof choices than any other 1792 variants in my area, and they are all usually very good...some are even fantastic.
