    Thanks. Looks like it's the same at WF. I hear TotalWine is less?

    Total Wine is off sometimes, at least with FW. For Parabola, they were $1.00 cheaper than Bevmo ($13.99) but for Abacus the price was the same ($14.99).

    I drank a bottle last night. It has a strong bourbon note, but is nicely balance with the oatmeal with a slight coffee finish. Letting it warm up to 55-60 degrees helps blend them very nicely together. But I can definately see aging this to let the bourbon mellow out.

    I agree...drink now. Just cause it's BBA does not mean it will age gracefully but what do I know?

    This just popped up at the Whole Foods on Telegraph in Berkeley. My buddy spotted it while there and grabbed me a few; sounds like no bottle limit and $15/bottle, though no idea how many are left.

    I claimed 3 of these today :slight_smile: There were about 6 left after that.

    O'Shea still had about 6 bottles left as of 3pm today too

    Pacific Park Market and BevMo Laguna Niguel are both out.

    They were still at Cask N Flask on Saturday. Not many though so you probably want to call first

    Landed in AZ today. Bevmo had four cases. Another Bevmo gets theirs next week. Total Wine also had a case or two. Total Wine were strick on their one per customer limit. Bevmo, not so much.
