No word in the Hotline about Knob Creek Single Barrel Reserve? It’s supposed to hit Illinois any day now.
It’s true that we’re expecting Knob Creek Single Barrel Reserve before the end of the month. There are a few details that we aren’t completely solid on yet. Expect more info soon.
hi–did the handpicked duncan taylor laphroaig 13 cs mentioned in this hotline ever show up?
Still hasn’t arrived. We’re getting antsy.
thanks for the quick response. i hope it won’t be “in-store only” when it does arrive….
It’s the whole barrel, so we should have 30-40 six-bottle cases to spread around. The one drawback of cask strength is that there’s even less of the stuff.
Hey do you know when the pepper vodka from dragon bleu will be available in your store? It’s really hard to find and the guy at the Naperville store told me that it’s not available in Illinois but the website says that it is.
Jeff – do you mind if we get in contact with you via email? Might be a better place for this conversation than in the Blog Comments.
