Yes it helps some to know the hurdles. Shelf space - bars or retail - that's the challenge. Product is very good - that's a big deal to me. Glad I could get my hands on some - but you are correct, shipping is pricey. So it's Tito's until I can buy off the shelf in my locals. Every place I walk into I ask for it - knowing it ain't there - BUT it makes the bartenders and bar managers ask questions - which I answer. Retailers too. Its good PR. They will start to ask their dietributors - and all of a sudden there is a groundswell. I have seen it happen when I owned bars and restaurants - we could catch that wave and ride it hard.
So I do my part....GLTY in all your investments. Getting the six kids through college (one bottle at a time... ha ha)
