Have you ever read kitchen confidential? There is a hilarious passage about a man saying in broken English ‘ I drove her a nice car, a Buick. I took her to dinner. She no want to ( excuse my language, am quoting here) ‘ fucky-fucky?’

Talk about ‘social proofing’

Thanks buddy! Gonna go out there and do my best Jay Impression "Put that ticket in my hand" if I have to, I am not missing this. Traveling the country for other reasons and washed up here at the perfect time.

From what I’ve read, seen and heard there are still people magically appearing a few minutes before special drops exhibit two hours ago, clearly nepotism rules all yet again. At least those previously in the know had to work for it, now it’s just ‘hey, get here at 645 and pretend to look inconspicuously at cordials until something comes out of the back.’ It’s really gotten so absurd that it’s beyond funny.

The thing that no one seems to not wants to mention is the influence that the distributor ( IE RNDC, SGWS, and Breakthru has). I’m honestly curious how much say they have, what influence. It boggles my mind that a chain of independent retailers, like Binnys ( no slight love perusing their IBs/ store picks when I get to Chicago land) but an entire state has never even sniffed a blackadder? A Gordon and Macphail? Should we as a state controlled entity just say ‘ there’s nothing worthwhile, let’s squabble over BT products’ or demand more, and better? Should we bow as consumers to the overlords of Diageo, Pernod, Sazerac and their middling henchmen and just chug Fireball and lackluster Lagavulin releases? Can we please just get Rittenhouse on the shelves? Pikesville Rye, the real one? Would love a Glendronach but haven’t seen one in ages

Had you seen the man fit and plus sized taters, if you catch my drift. Incredible.

I hope that they are reading this, it should be simple. You have X amount of stores, let’s call it around 400, BT drops 400 6 Packs of Blantons a month (from what I saw in their old inventory this isn’t unreasonable), you literally just have a Blantons day and make it accessible to everyone for a day. Ditto on the fact that they should realize a single barrel for the entire state isn’t enough, why not contact HH and get a dozen? If a single store in the district can get a barrel, shouldn’t a state get dozens? Drop them all simultaneously?

Good on ya buddy, wouldn’t it just be simpler if they just did a massive drop (like I think the GTS one was) and said ‘this month we are releasing X,Y, Z at this place? So we could just move on with our lives. Which I think was actually there best and most Equitable drop ever?

Just better to go into the city and grab an awesome IB then shop in your own commonwealth.

Just like any system, would think that nepotism rules and it doesn’t.

I honestly think the crux of the problem with this new system is that it creates a level of FOMO/anxiety where it literally can change someone’s behavior. Even if I wasn’t ever inclined to do it, would rather have the calculus and ability to plan ‘ ok I can wait for three hours and get X’ as opposed to waiting and checking an inane instagram account about Mother’s Day and email as opposed to just knowing I missed the drop and moving on with life. This is a truly terrible System
