ebo Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I was heading for the lone EH Taylor on the shelf, but I wasn't quick enough. A woman made her way to it before I could get there and snagged it off the shelf with determination...lol. I ended up with a bottle of Larceny, which I haven't had in while, so it's all good.

HoustonNit Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Surprisingly good for its price point, ain't it? I wouldn’t know, which is why I’m interested. I’m guessing based on the other HH BIBs it is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hollywood Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 This weekend’s pick ups.. MMCS which I’ve been eager to try.. and the Jefferson’s VSB.. I wanted to go the Reserve route, but wasn’t sure that I’d get another $20 of gratification it was going to run in addition.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO that's a good guess. I just hope HH doesn't paint their next target on it, or JWD or TWS and send them all off into oblivion like 6yrBIB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t drink it but I’m trying to get one for a coworkers dad visiting from Russia. Not sure what happened in the past year but I can’t find it. On the other EH Taylor small batch is everywhere.

I'm curious to see how it compares to other versions. You walked into a LS you had never been to and they just happened to have three bottles of GTS for sale at retail? GTFOOH... I'm not buying that story. You're just messing with my mind... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, close - I was looking for Blantons /Stagg Jr at several new locations, the owner of one informed they did not have any, but mentioned that he had a case of what he believed to be GTS arriving the next day. I told him I was interested, he gave me his number, I called the next day and the rest is history He also made a point to say that he doesn't believe in price gouging, so yeah - pretty lucky to stumble across. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supercharger Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Ah, yes. The old BTAC shipment in April to a small liquor store. Happens all the time. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0895 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 The store owner likely bought them on secondary and sold them at retail. Its called a reverse flip. It’s the latest thing. Everyone is doing it! Try to keep up guys.... jeez. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does happen actually. Some distributors hold allocated bottles back for restaurant and bar resupply. When the restaurants and bars don't sell through their bottles as fast as expected, the distributor gets tired of sitting on the inventory and lets some of them go to the retailers. My local sold me a PVW15 a couple weeks back due to just such a situation. He also got some BTAC. Additionally, he just got another three GTS today. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supercharger Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 (edited) I guess I just don’t ever see that here. The whole story sounded too good to be true. Or perhaps.....maybe.....I was just a wee jealous. And, yes. I’ll jump on the apology train as well. Edited April 23, 2019 by Supercharger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMFH Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Grabbed another EH Taylor Small Batch. Surprised there was still any around and not sure when it may be back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graftonbc1 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 I was out looking for different batches of Makers Mark Cask Strength, when I came across an old dusty 375, batch 15-05. Got it for 30 bucks. Tastes great. Should be fun to include in an MM flight with guests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know of several other liquor stores that get BTAC products months after their initial release, however they charge hundreds above retail. On another note, found an old age stated BH, want to see how it compares to the NAS current release. It was in the back of the row, moved it up front for the picture, also snagged that mispriced WP 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
