They had a couple cases in the back too. Said I could come back in a couple months and he’d still have some. Hasnt been selling
Y’all can thank DDB I saw these last week in a store that he recommended that I hadn’t been in in over a year
I grabbed a couple. But can go back tomorrow to get more They said the IRT has been selling much faster than the RIO
Yes please. I’ll take 3 of each RIO if you can. I can Venmo you immediately if needed. Where is this!
Keef is the expert. I’ve just gotten into them the past couple of months but I’ve bought over 25 bottles since the end of February. What do you want to know? Just well priced well picked single barrels sourced from great distilleries.
Wywan Bwowna I would be interested in one of those RIOs as well. I can Venmo/Paypal/Zelle immediately
I'll take 1 of each Rio, please. can venmo or paypal as soon as you have them in hand for me. Thanks Wywan Bwowna
I’m going to have to read back through the thread to get a solid count. The $99 store looked to only have 8 left, fyi. Didn’t ask about back stock
Thanks! Looks like high demand. When you buy this many, especially for something an owner perceives as not selling, use it to build a relationship for allocated items in the future.
Looks like it is a November/December release based on their instagram, so definitely been sitting for almost 6 months.
So why is Rare Character considered so much better than other places that source? Are they just that much better at picking barrels?
Didn't get an alert for this thread, but would take 1 of each RIO if any are unaccounted for. Can send dinero now.
Pablo Moix, one of the owners, is known for being able to pick amazing barrels and has great relationships in the industry. I also feel that compared to other brands these are a great value in terms of how delicious they are for the price and how they are pretty readily available if you know where to look. They have a cult following similar to Willet Family Estate.
I'm curious about this as well. Local place did a pick they are apparently releasing tomorrow and are doing a raffle for the bottles.
Where is local? Do you have a picture of the bottle from an email? Curious what would be released. There is an apricot brandy finished bottle I really want and I am trying to figure out where it is being released.
RIO-207 NYGator 3x Keef 1x Aussie 1x RockHardjawn 1x Pperc 1x Leeroy 1x Kentucky dawg 1x Sugarsaun 1x Let me know who I missed. I’ll do another post for the RIO-228
Thanks! Interested in 3 of the other also, but obviously if others want and there aren’t enough 1 is fine. Thanks so much!
RIO-288 Nygator 3x Keef 1x Aussie 1x Pperc 1x Leeroy 1x Rockhardjawn 1x let me know if anyone I listed is wrong or who I missed
That's the one. They have three stores in Phoenix/Scottsdale. Guess it's not so much a raffle as the first 40 people at each store get a ticket and are guaranteed a bottle if they're around at noon.
Edited my post to add it. I’ll circle back up tomorrow morning about Venmo info. Probably going to need a little bit before I go buy 18 bottles. Getting ready to go to the Preds game tonight. if there are less than 8 of the 288 left, I’ll just give Nygator 2
Hello. I'm with these guys NYGator, Pperc, Kentucky Dawg, Leeroy. Can I grab one as well? Ship with one of them if need be.
If the Wine Chap RIOs are your first RC, don't judge the rest of the RC lineup on those. It's not one of my favorites. There's a reason it's still sitting around whereas most of the RCs sell out quickly.
