Elijah Craig 15 landed in NJ this week and I was hoping to pick it up for MSRP (which is a legit challenge in NJ). This is the cheapest I’ve seen it for to date, I believe.
Also picked up the new Shenks and Bernheim 20th.
Great mail call from the good people P Street Wines. This Dream Spirits offering, lovingly called “Big Poppa” Bourbon is 13 Years Old, and comes to us as a collab from Prav Saraff and Frank Dobbins.
Excited to dive into this bottle over the weekend!
Every now and again, while searching online for completely unrelated bottles, Google will show me an Uber Eats promo for an allocated bottle for a (seemingly) unbelievable price. Such was the case again today, where a Jack 14 popped up via Uber Eats priced at just above MSRP ($199).
I will usually entertain it - even click on the link, add to cart, and buy just to see what happens. Every time I have done this to date, the order either gets cancelled and refunded, or I get a notification that it’s sold out. Today was different though. Today, when I hit check out - it went through. Not only did it go through, but I got another notification from Uber saying my order was “ready for pick up”?! I am thinking to myself - this has to be a mix up. Maybe they gave me old #7 - or even a Jack 10. But low and behold - Jack 14 - in the bag. I couldn’t get out of that store quick enough.
With my Uber One benefit I got it for just at MSRP. I say this to say, you just never know - and sometimes it’s worth going down the rabbit hole . 🕳️
