“When they sold the unaged whiskey last year, it sold out in a couple hours.”
I got a bottle of that.
I brought it as a Christmas present for my husband. It is a small, pretty unattractive little bottle, hazy whiskey with some bits floating. I was a little dismayed at how unimpressive it looked, so I made a presentation box for it - jazzed it up real nice.
That was the second year it was sold, and was around $100. unaged.
I got on a special list, and received a special opportunity to buy this first sale of the two year aged whiskey - I don’t get a beak on the price, but if I take my special notice down with me, I get preference over someone without one. So, unless there are more people with “special notices” than there are bottles for sale, I get me a bottle. If I go. At $185. for the thing I am really on the fence. It is from the first production, and being aged two years - is the first offering of aged whiskey, so for that reason I do want to buy it.
What to do, what to do?
WHOOPS! Went back and read the email- my “special notice” window has passed, so sad. It was the 15-16th.
My father in law passed away on the 11th, so wouldn’t have been able to go anyway.
Today the rest of the bottles went up for sale, so they are likely all gone. I’ll try to contact them tomorrow and check on it, if I can remember.
