I've said this before - but this is just a reminder. I'll be breaking BOTL over time in order to get it into a far better place. Just be patient if you can't reach us! We'll be back
So here in Bay Area, it's out of control. I'm friends with a guy who just opened a shop in my neighborhood. His father owned a famous liquor store in San Francisco since the 50s. It closed last year cause its 50-year lease ran out. His father used to select cases of barrel-select Pappy 23 from...
Spoke to the Bourbon rep at liquor shoppe this afternoon. Weller 12 is done for the year, he thinks. He was getting 3 bottles a week for the last 6 weeks and now nothing. Antique 107 and Reserve sales are up 70% at the store in last six months.
Cool, @Tennessee Dave! I went there to pick up a bottle of EH Taylor Small Batch. That's a good little shop off the radar here in the city. But they had a one-bottle-per-customer limit on Antique! They receive a six-bottle allocation every once in a while, and the stuff flies off the shelf...
Thanks for the update! I check the comments page at Youtube from time to time for updates. To be honest, I kinda figured his disappearance had something to do with that horrid sinus infection he described. Glad to know that Joe's still alive. I was starting to fear the worst. I'll definitely...
Hey, @Tennessee Dave! Call the Jug Shop in San Francisco at 9 am PST on Friday. The owner told me last week that they've been getting 3 bottle shipments on Friday morning. They never know. The box is just there and they open it. They don't list the Weller 12 on their website, and I'm not sure if...
Take a normal size box of Arm & Hammer. Pour it all out into a small plastic tupperware container. Place it in the humidor, close it, and let it sit for 10 days, or until odors are gone. Sodium bicarbonate destroys and neutralizes all odors over time.
A store owner here in San Francisco told me Weller SR and Antique sales are up 65% at his store, because the other stuff is so rare. Not sure what that means.
I've got three shops I visit regularly because they're on my bus line. So I just stopped in looking for something new. I always inquire whether they got any hard-to-find stuff in lately. The girl said, "Do like Weller 12 Year?" I just missed it last week at the other shops by two and four hours...
