Did see any hints that it was available this morning.

Didn't hint this morning. Was last week when the Private Barrel Co 3yo and 12 yo was being discussed.


Anyway Checkers bottled a single barrel only. Doesn't look like they even had time to get it to the
publicity department

Their man said:

They will not be getting again. They only had 186 bottles. The Three Ships community have been expecting these for a few days already. They were not going to last long.

There's been hints of the release on social media last week, apparently it was supposed to be launched on the weekend. I was talking about letting us know it was available after placing your order at 08:10 this morning.

I got side tracked and by then you had posted the link already

I've been checking the site even 10 mins since then.

186 bottles from one cask sounded very low to me, but Google says bourbon casks only hold about 200l, whereas sherry casks can hold 500l.

If all order gets honored then I'll be fortunate enough to have a fair amount.

Yes? I wrote "from one cask".

A bit late but

I like "The Prohibition Edition" moniker...would've been cool if it was on the bottle somewhere. Would make this even more collectible.

Yeah, would have been nice to give us a heads up instead of being "side tracked"...

There are plenty others here that also knew about it I'm sure

 

[Quad Pipe]

There are plenty others here that also knew about it as well
