I hope everyone is enjoying their long weekend!
Last week the PLCB quietly released their new website and online store, now titled Fine Wine & Good Spirits. Take a look--once it's fully populated, it'll be worlds better than the old catalog system.
PLCB spirits catalog changes for the week of June 28th:

Landy, Cognac Ferrand's value-priced line, is listed again after moving from Southern to Majestic. Remember, Majestic now has a three-bottle minimum on all their SLO spirits. The new minimums may not be fully updated in the PLCB catalog yet, but they're in effect.
Tub Gin, like Aperol, went from being an online-only item to a regular item. That stuff should be showing up in stores any day now.

Tub Gin, like Aperol, went from being an online-only item to a regular item. That stuff should be showing up in stores any day now.
Forgive the outrage for a moment, but someone messed up. That new 15yr Glendronach is not worth $100, and its next listed newbie of the Glenmorangie Nectar O'or is waay under-priced at $70. Granted the Glendronach should be at $65 and the Glenmorangie at $85, the prices seem a bit confused.
Looking at the Astar priced at $70 as well suggests a pretty nice discount on the two. Maybe Diageo is getting a nice distribution deal from Moet-Hennesy?
But, still, can't fathom the Glendronach price. Not worth it.
Brian,
The Glendronach 15yr does look a little high, national prices are more like $75 - $85. SLO prices are set by the distributor, not the state, so it's not uncommon to see SLO products priced way above the national average. For example, Anchor Genevieve is $29 - $33 nationally but $57 here.
In-store and online products, on the other hand, get price-reviewed before the PLCB orders any stock. For the most part these items should be close to or better than the national average.
