Since it seems that I was the only one to pick one of these up in person, let me tell you: I've never been asked so many questions about a liquor purchase since I was 18 & trying to buy 'california coolers' to take to the drive in!! Apparently, Hi Time had a (very small) stock of these that sat idle for months - then sold out completely in about 1/2 hour last Friday, and they wanted ME to explain why! They even had guys coming out of the back rooms to see what all the fuss/phone-orders/e-mails were all about. I briefly explained about the guy in Chile, Dogbytes posting on Tiki Central, yada yada, and they responded with little interest/enthusiasm ("Um.. oh, ok...") However, I assured them that if they got more in stock (the sooner the better) they would probably do some steady business with these. Well, until we all have one at least.
But this leaves me with a few questions:
1). From Aquarj's pix, it looks like there's a green and a yellow version of the bottle - how can I get a yellow one? I called the folks at Hi Time again, and they didn't really know what I was talking about: "I dunno - from the box, they all look the same to me"...
2). Is anybody actually opening & drinking theirs? I know nothing about pisco, and I don't know if I want to open the bottle, only to find I don't like it and then have an open bottle rather than a sealed one.
