The lines weren’t too bad. I was able to get a bottle of Blanton’s.
Did anybody else here score anything? |

Our local ABC store had about 50 people in line. I didn't bother... I was told there was a one bottle per product limit.

America is a Constitutional Republic, not a democracy. Democracy supports universal equality. A Constitutional Republic supports individual liberty. There is a huge difference.

I thought about it, but decided to knock a couple things off my honey-do list instead. Might stop by a couple in the ghetto to see if there is anything left on the shelf. Grabbed a couple solid cask strength a day after the last drop.

Another DROP of “Limited Availability” products today at the VA ABC stores.
I was able to get a Weller Full Proof, a Michter’s American Whiskey, and a Buffalo Trace. Did anybody else here get anything good? |

Nothing worthwhile left by the time I got to a couple of the stores. Friends who went early did well. One snagged a Weller 12 and a couple others got Old Forester 1924 10 Year Old.

There were a few reviews saying you’d be better off buying two of the 1910s. Who knows though. Everybody’s tastes are different. I would have liked to be able to get the Weller 12 Year. |

I don't even try anymore on Tuesdays, and I have the opportunity to be there when they open. I'm very thankful that my favorite is not a commonly neckbearded "current thing" spirit.

View Quote I bought some Gold online recently, for $199. Definitely a premium over the $120 I paid at the ABC store last year, but I also didn't have to win a lottery to buy it. |

My oldest son is home from college and asked if I wanted to go do this. So I got up early Saturday with him and waited outside one store, then hit 2 more. My wife even got in on the fun for the last couple

It is what you make of it. For 95% of the people in my area it’s a 1.5 - 2.5 hour social event. It’s pretty much the same people every time. People bring chairs, and hang out in a line. Then from 10:00 to 12:00 everyone is running from store to store to get another something. Talking to each other at each store. It’s actually kind of fun. |

I didn't head out for the drop, but I grabbed a left over Noah's Mill from an ABC on the edge of a ghetto. They still had quite a few bottles left over, considering I stopped by Thursday after work. It's been a few years since I had some Noah's Mill, but it wasn't bad at all.
