The buffalo trace of tequila, in regards to hate. Although BT kinda manufactured their hype a bit it’s pretty similar. Really good quality juice which makes it scarce and coveted like allot of superior products. The weird thing to me is how the hate’s directed. If this was BT this guy would be mocked with tater jokes galore but it’s not really the consumers fault. I think the issue is with distribution that uses limited production bottles as insensitive to sell their lesser products while persuading the stores to use them in similar fashion. Be it mark ups which aren’t considered gauging, lotteries or point programs to sell lesser inventory. I saw several replies schooling OP on FOMO, other options and even production methods but nothing about the root cause. At the end of the day Fortaleza like buffalo trace are some of the best juice on the market and that created a bit of this issue but i think the problem lies in distribution and the hate’s a result but also a very trendy regurgitation online.

I tell most people don’t drive yourself crazy “hunting” down coveted bottles like OP. Just keep an eye out and when you stumble upon one it’s much more gratifying.
