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

I did finally win one of those this year, after entering probably two dozen times. |

I showed up 1.5 hours before opening, and was 13th in line. |

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.

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.

I was gonna say with lines that long they're just like the DMV, but then I realized what the VA ABC stores are...  I got the ABC "Alert," but I'm not into the allocated stuff.

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.

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.

Can I just say that I think the whole Virginia ABC is an absolute sham. I wish we had individual stores like most other states do.

It's still there. 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
