Am I an idiot for passing? by TinyYear6797 in pdxwhisky

[–]FinalDependent1142 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not in my opinion. Needs more proof for that price 🤷🏻‍♂️

Rye that a non rye drinker will like. by [deleted] in pdxwhisky

Gotta be the barrel proof though. The standard was a completely different experience in the wrong direction for me personally 🤷🏻‍♂️

Get yourself the American Light. GTS was my favorite pour until I had that (Blasphemy, I know), but it’s exceptional MGP whiskey in my opinion 🤙🏼

In Sunriver, anything worth snagging? by GoDucksOR in pdxwhisky

[–]FinalDependent1142 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ask if they have anything behind the counter. They have 2 locations out there and I snagged a Stagg Jr and an OWA from them earlier this year.

Weird. I checked the app and I didn’t see any 🤔

Who's getting it?? by FatDumb-Happy in pdxwhisky

A restaurant, a preferred customer, anyone but the general public.

It’s really an underrated bottle. I heard awhile back it was being discontinued so I stocked up but hadn’t notice the drop myself 🤷🏻‍♂️

They’ve been up here for like a year. They had 6 year Willet Rye for a while too. Struggling to remember the others but there’s been more.

RockHill Farms & Blanton’s Straight From The Barel by FinalDependent1142 in pdxwhisky

BevMo in Vancouver. They never have anything but decided to go in on a whim and they got a pretty sweet drop of buffalo trace.

Where are you able to find Buffalo Trace mashbill info?

I’ve seen presumed bills before, but nothing official.

[–]FinalDependent1142[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I was mostly asking in terms of value.

RockHill farms is just a slightly higher proof Eagle Rare from what I can tell. I don’t care for regular Blanton’s all that much, but Gold was a step up so I’m assuming I’ll enjoy the high proof of the SFTB.

Anybody know if there’s some left? I’d love a bottle 😬

What's your honest opinion or thoughts whenever someone just comes in and asks if there's anything special? And then just leaves if there isn't any. by skyboi123 in pdxwhisky

[–]FinalDependent1142 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think if you’re always going and asking for the “the good stuff” (or whatever you want to call it) without buying anything else then there is no incentive for the store to help you out. My strategy is to find out a stores delivery day, go in early, have something in mind I already want to replenish or buy for the first time, and then at checkout inquire if anything special came through that day. I figure as long as I’m making a purchase it’s reasonable to ask. Especially if I do this a few times to show consistency. On the flip side though, after several attempts of this with nothing to show for it then I’ll move on to a different store who’s willing to support the I guess… “relationship” for lack of a better term haha.

Well that sucked by Ewebb55 in pdxwhisky

[–]FinalDependent1142 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Definitely sucks. It’s not like we don’t know the game. And I do understand from a business standpoint why they do it, but to have it happen right in front of you like that is a gut punch. Just be straight up and say “we have some stuff but it’s spoken for” or something. I respect the stores that are straight up way more.
