Wtf is wrong with them? First time I spoke with them over a month ago they said they were not getting any and then yesterday they told me they did get it in the morning an already sold it. Very frustrating.
alot of retailers are being extremely smug this year unless your real tight with them. i had a real bad experience with one yesterday that i'll refrain from naming right now. just gonna be really hard this year. pretty much everybody has a long list or will just call their better customers. your not gonna find anything besides Handy on shelves and even the Handy will go quick.

That is frustrating in deed...makes you wonder if they really dont know or they just feeding people BS over the phone.

Money isn't a problem but I can't find any bottles.

I've got to eat some crow. A few pages ago I bashed Divine in Ruston for lording over good bottles. Well, I was wrong. I was in there Tuesday of this week and futilely put my name on their mile-long van winkle list. Yesterday they called and said my name was on their last bottle of 10 year.
Long story short, the bottle on the left cost me $65 at Divine, the bottle on the right cost $125 at the store in Sheveport that gets nearly all my business. The one in the middle was taken in trade for a THH.
Also: This whiskey is really, really good. I wish it weren't. At 65 it's a bargain, at 125, it's still worth the price.

Contemplating a trade with a guy on the BX. 2 Four Roses 125's for an ORVW 10 and an ORVW Lot B. Would you do it?
Posted on 11/14/13 at 2:34 pm to jflsufan
Not a chance if you are the one with the 4roses. That might be the best whiskey put in a bottle this year
Posted on 11/14/13 at 2:50 pm to gmrkr5
Yes it's me with the 4R. I have 4 bottles though.

I'll send you a ORVW 10 for a 4r125. I'm down to only my one open bottle now.

I'd still want the pot to be a little sweeter. I've seen 4Roses going for $225 easy on BX. Then again, Van Winkle isnt my "must have".
I just think the 4Roses is probably a better pour than those 2. Just my opinion though

$225 on the 4R? I haven't seen that. I paid $140 for the one that I bought on the BX and I turned down a bottle at $180. Now I have seen Lot B going for $225 and ORVW going for $150 on the BX. I think the value of the ORVW 10 and Lot B is greater than the value of the 2 Four Roses. Plus I am more of a wheated bourbon guy. The Four Roses is excellent stuff though.

The one I got off of there I got for far less than that too but I have seen prices as high as $225 several times. Didn't realize people were getting $225 for Lot B. If that's what you like, get em!

Yep. I called a place whose list I am on for Pappy once each of the last 3 weeks to see if they had gotten their shipment in. Last few times they said they hadn't gotten it in yet. Called today and they said they got it in a couple weeks ago and were all out.
