    Drew, the distillery recently announced they would be skipping the 2013 Spring release. The next release will be in the Fall, which will really be the bottle volume of both the Spring and Fall release together. They hope that the increase in number of bottles in the release will allow more people to have the opportunity to actually see and buy a bottle off the shelf. I doubt this will actually happen because the popularity of the bourbon but I guess we will have to wait and see. I'm a huge Pappy fan and have been for awhile. I hate that it's so much harder to find now. I'm always on the lookout for my favorite Pappy, which is the 20 year. My local liquor stores are keeping a list for interested buyers and claim the bottles will be sold through a lottery system when they get their very small allotment.

    Thanks for the info. I'll be calling around here and talking to one of my local liquor stores that stocks on customer request if he can get me on a list or score me a bottle.

    I saw his post and I thought that some brothers here helped him get some. Although that was last year, and he could have gotten his own this year...but sometimes you just gotta help a brother out

    I usually stay out of things like this but this better not be what I think is going on.

    Either way it's pretty ugly.

    And the Pappy Lot B is going for... $225 each. I remember someone here getting him one for free? Maybe he can refund that money with the profits... not that he will.

    I hate how this looks and it definitely looks bad, but I would say that before condemning a man to death (or at least his reputation) an explanation might be warranted. If none is provided so be it, but as BORKs and brothers here of Ccom let's TRY (keyword try) not to judge too quickly. Like I said I agree this looks BAD..., but ain't it in the holiday spirit and more importantly the spirit of who WE are here at Ccom to at least give a man a chance to clear his name?

    Has anybody called the sheriff?

    Not trying to lecture either gang, I'm in no position to do so. Merely saying that even if they don't hold themselves to the same standards that we do here at Ccom as BORKs, at least WE can say that we won't falter or stoop. We are the ones who remain true to what is important to our community.

    Thanks Curt, I just hate to kill a mans reputation which in an online community is ALL any of us have without hearing what's what first. If it's sh!t it's sh!t and we will all know it, but let's give the man a chance.

    I agree. But the fact is still a $250 bottle for $1000...now $900

    Wasn't talking about privately, just saying let's wait for an explanation here if one would be provided by him, but that's just me. If I F up it is my mistake and I deserve whatever consequences come my way and I will take them publicly. Personally I prefer to do things in the open, but that's just me.
