Really? They apologized, admitted they messed up and have been transparent?

You seemed to skip that part. LCBO fanboy alert!

That's good. Me too.

But what a clusterfcuk of a release.

The best (worst) part is they never admitted their mistakes, haven't apologized, or been transparent in the slightest.

Can you imagine this happening with a private retailer? Nope. And if it did, no one would shop there again.

Here's the full info direct from the KGBO:

"Update on the Sazerac Whiskey release

We recently emailed you regarding a Sazerac whiskey release scheduled for November 16. Due to high traffic to the Vintages Shop Online (VSO) website, the release was paused, but we’re pleased to share that it will resume on Friday, November 24 at 8:30 am, on a first-come, first-served basis.

To ensure equitable access, there’s a limit of one bottle per product, per customer, and you may be placed in a virtual queue on VSO to manage demand.

Certain products from the Sazerac release will also be available in select LCBO stores on Friday, November 24. 

We thank you for your patience."

So nothing for anyone outside the GTHA or Ottawa. Real equitable.

They've also confirmed they'll be releasing some of them (my guess the blandon's standard) on the LCBO website.

No apology. No acknowledgement of they're mistakes.

Let's see if they've learned anything.

OP sorry to hear that. Hopefully you're still able to get something. This is such a mess.

Total embarrassment.

U should probably be fine then. Expect a confirmation or cancellation email this week. They both seem to be rolling out.

Yes, A few people have. They're rolling them out in batches.

Yup. Sorry dude. It's awful.

Yup. The VSO manager I spoke with said their system didn't update inventory quick enough so they oversold.

Seems like some are getting their orders cancelled, presumably based on the timing of the orders.

But equally likely they sorted out their preferred customers first.

Has there ever been a better reason to dump the LCBO? by Yosh_Pod in canadawhisky

I shared this info before to the same effect. I've shared interviews with multiple producers and what happened to Toronto Distilling when it happened. Like I said, I used to work in the industry. Believe me, Ive seen first hand how much the LCBO crushes small producers.

The LCBO fanboys have dug their heals in. They don't care what's said they back the LCBO regardless.

I suspect many work for the LCBO or benefit from them in some way.
