I guess Bevmo gets a fair share of the Pappy collection…and sends out an email to its loyal ClubBev members(go ahead and laugh!) …an offer of the current collection. You respond to which bottles you are interested in(DUH ALL)… and they later do a lottery of some sort and let you know if you are a lucky one to be able to purchase a bottle, at I guess is reg pricing?
Well…got an offer for the 23…at $279.99! Jumped all over that sucker! So much looking forward to my first taste of Pappys…might as well start at the top!
Nice. Another boubon buddy of mine got the 20. I got nothing. . Can’t complain tho, was able to get bottles over the years before Pappy jumped the shark. Pop it and enjoy it.
Got shut out just like with the Buffalo Trace release. Disappointing after having a good relationship with my local BevMo, getting a couple bottles each year from them to enjoy. Nature of the beast, hope the hype dies soon so the drinkers can get back to it. Congrats to those that won a bottle, enjoy it or sell it and buy something else to enjoy!
Bevmo did the same lottery system in AZ for the BTAC. Many people signed up and got selected to purchase bottles but they never showed. After a month of sitting in the back room, Bevmo put the unclaimed bottles on the floor for anyone off the street.
If you didn’t get one, it might be worth checking every couple weeks to see if all the bottles have been picked up.
This is really strange. I received the “Sorry, you were not successful in securing a bottle” email from BevMo, so I copied the rejection letter to post here. When I pasted what I copied from their email (and I did this several times) this is what comes up!
Congratulations! You are one of the very
lucky few and have secured a bottle of 17 Year Old Eagle Rare from the
2014 Sazerac Antique Collection. I know you’ll enjoy this fine
bourbon.
To place the order for shipment within Arizona, please follow these
three simple steps:
And that was it. Subliminal messages? Hidden codes? Very strange (or I need to move to Arizona!)
Probably going to drink this bottle and share it with my whiskey loving friends! I’m not a huge spirit lover…but I’m trying!
Now…if you wanted to trade a drc Monty???
