Anybody else have an old fitz 8 yr order still showing as processing? Never received a loser email either. Just wondering what that means considering pretty much everyone that was getting one either already has it or it shipped.
Happy Hunting!!!
Heading to a conference in Scottsdale this weekend followed by a road trip to Vegas via San Diego and Palm Springs to see the Steelers play … any good bourbon hunting tips along the route ..??..are the Costco’s worth a stop ..??..much appreciated
For those who got the Blanton's store pick, was there anything on the bottle or tag indicating that this was actually a FWGS pick. Mine had nothing. Not sure if this was a labeling mistake by BT, or a fulfillment mistake by FWGS. Label says Bottled on 5-15-24, Rick 22, Barrel 10 if anyone can confirm they have the same barrel pull.
Happy Hunting!!!

Anyone else have full info on others? Not sure what 70-72 are.

Got a call from a friend the other day about Old Fitz dropping online. I immediately ordered and so did a few other friends. They ordered after me and theirs have shipped but mine is still processing. Is this the norm? Sounds like an unorganized mess

Just wondering if anyone else is having trouble with last weeks online drop of weller 12. My card was charged for it and the latest update from UPS is that they haven’t received the package yet but a label was created for it. I also changed the delivery address to an UPS access point before UPS received the package so idk if that has anything to do with this or not.
Update- UPS screwed up and shipped the bottle to Michigan and I got lucky the store they sent it too sent the package back to FWGS. Hopefully it gets shipped to the right spot this time
Happy Hunting!!!
it definitely seems like the supply is catching up to the demand. here in pa ive managed to snag: buffalo trace, eagle rare, and sazerac within the past 3 months or so and have been told i just missed blantons aswell.
add on top of that if you go to the fwgs site they have eh taylor, weller, more blantons, eagle rare single barrel, all listed as "coming soon"
anomaly or will this become the new normal??
I'm not sure exactly if this question has been asked here before, Or if it's in an older post.
I'm new to buying from FWGS Online, And I know from their website they ship through UPS, Also How long does it take for an order to process and ship?
Also this is my first ever post to Reddit. (So, sorry for any punctuation errors.)

I wanna make a statement here cuz it’s been too long since I’ve had the time or energy to discuss the hobby like a normal human being. Which is how i started here on this fine sub…discussing this hobby and how to expand my exposure to more bottles to further feed this hobby. I brought a lot of you with me…
Pause…I named this the daily humble for a reason. I’m not here to swing my 4” cock around and brag about whoever TF you think frosty is or who he has become. I’m here to have a discussion…much like the ones we had when i first started the hunts. You recall…I would give a piece of my mind and a vision for where i thought things were gonna go for the forseeable future. I sincerely cared about my people scoring bottles and i still do, that will never change.
I wanna have a conversation about why this thread has become so negative and full of cocky fucking people who act like they weren’t on the other end of the phone no more than a year ago. There’s a sense of entitlement that has formed here and it sure as fuck didn’t come from me. I’ve shared everything I’ve known without condition or care for if it would prevent myself from scoring. You all supported that mindset beautifully. Where are we now? A bunch of amateurs who downvote people for asking questions that most of us didn’t have the Answer to 1 year ago.
I thought i built a better community. That’s ok tho. I know that this world isn’t gonna be perfect. I just took a lot of pride in the times that we all worked together. It’s kinda cringe seeing some of you respond with the arrogance that you really didnt earn. I can’t fucking stand the PABS and i loath snowflake mentality but this has turned into a very toxic environment that even i am not comfortable with.
I’m not going anywhere and plan to continue to build this family for years to come but I got some shit on my chest in relation to how this community has looked lately and I ain’t never gonna hold back on that.
Theres been a lot of criticism of me and most of it is fair…but i have never been fake or held back from my principals. I’m not proud of some of your behavior. Don’t forget where you came from. Make this a place that people want to share what they know.
Happy Hunting!

Hey I know this is a long shot but does anyone have an extra ticket? I have a friend who wants to go but didn’t get a ticket in time. Comment and DM if you do. PayPal Goods and Services ONLY no exceptions. So if ur a scammer try someone else.
Happy Hunting!!!
Just got the email that it is ready for pickup at my local store. Anyone else get the notification?
Hey all, I’m kinda new to the game and am trying to try a lot of different bottles. My all time favorite is Blantons. And I like the taste profile of Blantons, so I have been buying high rye and straight rye bourbons. Any recommendations that would be good that are in this same category? Preferably stuff readily available. There’s just so much to choose from, it’s hard to take it all in haha. Price doesn’t matter to me, as long as it’s available.
Ran into these two lonely bottles DT Pittsburgh today …FWGS SAZERAC SINGLE BARREL SELECT #058…I didn’t hear or see any of this release so assuming old bottles …anybody have any insight..??..only 2 bottles there and 17/18 for 375 BT a bit steep but I liked the bottles 😊
