Whiskey devotees, take note: December 26 is your lucky day.
Representatives from Eight Row Flint let us know that the whiskey and taco establishment will be deeply discounting their inventory of Pappy Van Winkle spirits by hosting a “Say Goodbye To Our Pappy” party. Why? Eight Row Flint received their allocation last month, and seeing as the spirits are hard to score and released in limited amounts, the bar is inviting the public to try it one day only at a major discount.
From the press release:
“…for one day and one day only, we are giving the stuff away at our cost. Prices will range from $4.47 for 1.5oz of Old Rip Van Winkle 10 year (~$15 value) to $29 for 1.5oz of Pappy 23 (~$80 value). We think that as many people in the world should try this delicious juice as absolutely possible.”
There are a few rules, also from the press release:
1) Everyone who walks in the door will be given an obnoxiously bright wrist band and a number, based on arrival time. We can guarantee 100 people will receive one 1.5oz tasting.
2) We are enforcing a limit of one Pappy per person.
3) You cannot have someone with you purchase a Pappy for you.
4) When you place your Pappy order, we will take a very sophisticated Sharpie marker and write a big fat “X” on your wristband. This will let everyone in the bar know that you’re a connoisseur of fine bourbon and that you’ve already had your allocation.
5) Because we realize that your appetite might not yet be satiated, we will be running more drink specials throughout the evening. (For example, on our list of proprietary barrels of bourbon that line our back bar in barrels.)
The event starts at 5:30 pm on Monday, December 26, 2016 at Eight Row Flint, 1039 Yale.
