Weekly Catalog Update for 12/21

There weren't many catalog changes this week due to the holiday, but the LCB has been busy transitioning its main website to the new Pennsylvania "enterprise portal" system. Existing web applications like the catalog and event calendar remain unchanged but have moved to a different host. So basically, all of the information and functionality from the old website is still there, but all of our existing bookmarks and links are now broken. Happy New Year!

Discontinued Products:
  • 10 Cane Rum 50 ML (#07768, One Time, $1.99)

'Tis the time of year when scotch flies off the shelves. Instead of whiskey, this year buy Dad a nice rum for a change of pace. Matusalem Reserve (#04952, Regular, $26.99), Zaya (#07612, Regular, $34.99), Mount Gay Extra Old (#08164, Regular, $44.99) and Angostura 1824 (#52855, SLO, $60.89) are all excellent sipping rums with enough character to win over any spirits lover. Whatever you do, though, don't get him Pyrat XO. Unless he enjoys drinking maple syrup straight from the bottle.

After a false start earlier in the summer, Beefeater 24 is showing up in a few stores. Hopefully it will make it to Pittsburgh before long.

The 2009 Buffalo Trace Antique Collection showed up in stores this week, but it was snatched up by collectors and resellers as soon as it hit the shelves. There are still a few bottles listed here and there, but I've called around and everything left seems to be reserved for pick-up or transfer.
