    I think it is most likely not. I expect there are more chains than one to one trades.

    Box will be out tommorow and going almost as south as it can get. The match is a limited release of <500 bottles and my target has not posted in this thread.

    Yes, I can verify that my target is also sending to me. I have a feeling this isn't all that common, but I think the bottles we're exchanging were pretty close to the top of the rankings...which increases the odds of that happening.

    On that note, I've been tracking my incoming whale: and it lands TODAY! Poor big, blue whale...I hope it had a safe journey to me.

    Maybe... I received word from home that a whale-shaped box arrived. We never specifically said what we were sending each other, have to keep the mystery you know. Pictures coming tonight!

    Had a box waiting for me at home tonight...also happened to pick up some fresh, Vermont produce before coming home. No reason.

    Haha, yup! I don't think there's much mystery left with this one.

    Boy, that Blabaer sure looks good down in my cellar. I have a shelf with a front row lineup of Blabaer, BCBS Coffee, CBS, Cantillon Iris '07, Dark Lord (hey, I like it), Bramble, BT and HF Vera Mae. Almost made me tear up looking at that awesome sight last night. There's an epic tasting coming up at some point.

    My target got his box, but he can't log on here for some reason. He contacted me personally. He got a Beatification Batch 3:grinning:

    I will be out of town from today-sunday night. If my box is set to arrive sometime during those days send me a tex/pm when it lands and let me know. My family doesnt open my boxes, but for this one I would want to make sure they open it and let me know!

    Big thanks on the box that landed today! Not only did you knock off a long time want (I'll keep that part hush hush til others get their boxes) but you dropped 2 ridiculous extras, NG Bourbon Barrel Bock (another long time want) and batch 77 Adam. Thank you sir!!

    Package just went out.

    Hint, I could have got in the car, head north and hand delivered in 45 min but Fedex is more reliable :slight_smile:

    Just found a Whale sitting at my doorstep. Normally they come out of the bay around here, but this one made it's way across the country via ground. Thanks to johnnnniee. [​IMG]

    Damn! A three bottle shipper with Risgoop, Sour in the Rye, & the topper was a beer that I'd really given up hope of ever clutching in my hands. Sounds like some are keeping quiet to retain the mystery of the outstanding whales...thanks a ton, sir!
