Took a loooong time to fulfill this order
interesting I order two bottles, one headed to Washington state and one to South Carolina. Both avid bourbon fans. The Washington order was delivered promptly within a week…however the South Carolina order was delayed an additional two and a half weeks with no real explanation. Since it requires a signature on the receiving end we had to make all kinds of special arrangements since we never expected the delivery to be that delayed. Word to the wise…make sure you know how long it will take to get your order if you have travel plans in teh next month!!!!
