Had a thought today. As you are offering bottles to those instrumental in it's production, have you considered donating one to The Johnnie Walker distillery?
I'm sure they have a wonderful display / museum there as their history seems very important to them. |

Correct me if I'm wrong but JW totally ignored Paul when he was emailing them to trace the origin of the bottle...  |

Johnnie Walker has a history of sueing over just about anything the deem to be "copy-right infringement". This is the main reason we are giving away labels to all who purchased the bottle (if we can indeed get labels made)
They have also been very unresponsive to fan requests and idea's concerning this bottle that would have generated more business for them...
All that considered...PLUS the fact that they could have made this bottle at anytime if they had wanted...do you really think they want or deserve a free one from me?
I don't want to sound harsh here but I do feel that they have been an obstacle to fan's getting this bottle NOT a help...
great whiskey though! |

Hi Once,
reading several posts about JW's attitude for BR bottle, I'm totally agree with you!
They don't deserve it...
Have you received my PMs? |

I did recieve your post and am sorry I've been so busy that I didn't reply.
I will get the bottles out as soon as I can, I think you can understand that I simply can't promise one to someone within a certain time period before I have them. Once I have them (I'd say about a month from now) I will let everyone know and we can go from there.
Hope that answers your question... |

I wasn't aware they were that unhelpful. In that case... screw 'em!  |

Actually i'm extremely pleased at the number who did purchase.
I was told again and again by old-timers that I should expect AT LEAST HALF of my list to drop off...you all proved them wrong as I suspected you would.
Bottles are on their way to me as we speak...when I have them I will post more pics and then begin shipping!! |

My brother really wants a bottle. How are you going to sell the remaining bottles?
Cheers,
Steve. |

I'm being flooded with requests for second and third bottles.
Please don't be offended if I don't get back to everyone right away about this.
I'm a bit focused right now on getting all the bottle details together and worrying about how to ship properly so everyone get's them in one piece.
Major news: We MAY have found a printer for our labels!
More news as it comes in! |

I just remembered that today is my SPECIAL DAY here at Propsummit!
I'm one year old today here at the Summit and I just wanted to say thanks again to ALL who have made me feel welcome, especially you behind the scenes people that have contributed greatly to my being able to bring something to the table of Blade Runner Enthusiasm.
I'm toasting you all tonight and very soon in the style to which we have all waited so long for...from a very special bottle.

Well, if you're one year old aren't you a little young to be drinkin' whiskey?

It's been suggested to me that you all might enjoy this pic as well...
It doesn't show bottles but that IS what's in all those boxes ready for shipping in the picture:
