Why did you turn down single bottles?

Having a light pour from the Jim Beam parent company.

If I find 10 on the shelves then it's fair game...if you can afford it, it's 'murica....however, I felt I had my fair share and I told my connect I had some already and to give the bottle to the next person on the list. I promptly gave a bottle of CO to my connect and his boss...partly bc it solidified and already good connection and partly bc they are both really good people, who I personally like.

I acted as I did bc I felt that it was the right thing to do. I would do the exact same tomorrow if I found 10 van Winkles on the shelf.

Yeah I figured I was just curious what store had 10 out on the shelves at retail. I understand if you want to keep that to yourself, no biggy, I don't think I live in your territory though

It was a NOLA area store.

Just a one in a million.

A few people got a bottle on this board.


NPD: EC12... I didn't really care for it at first (I know that's not a popular opinion on this board)..its starting to grow on me. I am starting to like it.

Highcotton what are you doing with that box? Trade you some samples for it.

As much as I want to like it I just can't get into the GITM. It's not bad but if I am going to drink beer I prefer something else. With that said, I have a 4 pack of GITM that I would like to see go to a BR guy (since that is where I bought it) that had a hard time getting it and will enjoy it. I will sell at my cost but you have to pick up from me in BR.

E-mail me at jflsufan@gmail.com if interested.

SingleMalt, this sounds like you... (Martin's Metairie) Here is what we are pouring that night: Glenfiddich 12yr Glenfiddich 15yr Glenfiddich 14yr Bourbon Barrel Glenfiddich 18yr Glenfiddich 21yr Glenfiddich 1963 "The Original" Plus Jorge mentioned possibly picking up something else special to try for that evening. Hope you can be there Thursday October 1,6:30-8pm. Tickets are $35 a person. Shoot me an email or give me a call if you are interested in attending.


Aw man. That would be delicious. But being a Baton Rouge fellow, the 90 minute drive each way would be a bit much for me on a Thursday night.

On Oct 1st, I will certainly line up these pours on my bar and toast to all things wonderful about Glenfiddich. I might even throw in the 19yo in bourbon barrels.

If anyone is interested in joining me it also happens to be Steelers Vs. Ravens on Thursday Night Football. Come find me at the BSoBR event next weekend. Assuming that the BSoBR guys will let us discuss scotch without throwing us out...

I would be willing to make it happen for the same $35 at below.
