How can I get hold of an empty Popcorn Sutton White Whiskey Bottle in Australia?

Myles

Sorry but this must he a cultural difference thing. Give me a hand made artisan bottle - or a bottle from a producer with questionable (reputeably, although that might just be bad press) but I would preffer an artisan bottle.

Do you make your own bottles, and would be willing to sell me a case or two - for personal gifts. Call me. ;)

@Myles I don't make my own bottles sorry... Popcorn was not considered reputable but he has a place in Moonshining history and the bottle I seek is no longer in production making it collectible.

@Brewhaha just checked the tracking and last entry is processed in Miami on the 27th. Seems kinda slow, but it should be there next week.

IT seems to take forever to get the international shipments out of the country unless they are express... I do this almost everyday and crazy thing is my AU shipments go to Miami before they go to AU... You would think they would go to the west coast then clear customs to head further west....

Yeah Popcorn is on a stopover in Miami at present... The thing I don't get is it seems to take 4 days from Miami to Sydney when its a 19 - 20 hour direct flight before it shows at Sydney (in USPS tracking) :-c

I hear you @Brewhaha and @FullySilenced , darn thing took 7 days to go 250 miles from my home to Miami, WTF?

Brewhaha

@captainshooch guess what... it's arrived and now loaded, ready to take to tomorrow Arvo's session. Thanks very much now Popcorn is downunder <:-P

captainshooch

Enjoy it my friend! :-bd

Pics or it never happened.

Brewhaha

@punkin ... documentation blury but complete :-bd

I found a hole in the bottle... filled it last night and now there is only about 250ml left =))

punkin

Goodo.

FullySilenced

IT was a full bottle of whiskey or an empty bottle that was shipped.

captainshooch

It was an empty bottle @FullySilenced or he could have consider it "aged" since it took so long to get there. :))

Much Thanks irishman for your efforts for the 2X Popcorn Suttons it arrived this afteroon.

Upon cracking one open I could taste the flavour of Popcorns shine. It got a mixed reaction with my mates... most enjoyed it and was what I expected with only my uncle having winged about it.

Probably a jealousy thing :)) At least I can say I've tasted one of the local Appalachians moon shine, Popcorn deserves a place in moon shining history for his efforts.

Cheers

How can I get a full bottle of Pappy VanWinkle 23 yr old in America =))

irishman

@captainshooch I hear the best way is to get a job at the distillery and you're able to make off with cases at a time. ;)

I hear its like trying to find rocking horse shit and more expensive than the horse... :)) If you like a smooth bourbon try Black Maple Hill Bourbon, ;) if you haven't tried it already @irishman maybe the workers at the distillery have created a drought. In Australia Dan Murphys had it but alas there is no more available

captainshooch

There's some out there but fetching way too much money for my pockets. :))

CothermanDistilling

Aa small liquor store near me had this 26 year old bourbon for $150, it is on par with Pappy, I tasted it the other night and it was really nice... picked up a bottle, they had 4 left...

Brewhaha

@CothermanDistilling if I wasn't such a tight arsed buyer... or "frugal buyer" I'd definetly want to try BlowHard but its out of my league at present. Like the bottle and Labeling I think the bourbon would be a nice drop also... enjoy :P

I definitely should have started this hobby twenty years sooner.
