In a spectacle that has become synonymous with the fervor of collectors and enthusiasts alike, dozens of people have already staked their claim outside the Spec's Wines, Spirits, and Finer Foods location on Bandera Road in San Antonio. These dedicated individuals, some bearing tents and temporary shelters, are part of the eager crowd that has formed days in advance of a rare bourbon release, as reported by FOX San Antonio.
The draw for these patrons is the chance to purchase from over 30 varieties of rare or allocated bourbons, which include sought-after names such as Blantons and Weller. According to FOX San Antonio, the sale is set to commence at 10 a.m. on Dec. 28 across three Spec's locations in Texas. The anticipation around this event is particularly high in San Antonio, given that this marks the first time such an event has been held by Spec's in the city.
A Spec's representative disclosed to FOX San Antonio that similar events at other locations have attracted over 1,000 customers at each site. This overwhelming interest underscores the bourbon community's dedication to securing these bottles, often seen as trophies within the spirit collecting world.
For those still hoping to obtain their preferred bottle of bourbon, a list of all the available varieties has been made available on Spec's website. News 4 San Antonio, also covering the event, points interested parties to the Spec's website to find more information about the rare bourbons that will be available for purchase.
