Well Free Rangers, There was apparently just a shooting in the street in front of the shop [Saturday, early afternoon]. Broad daylight, bright sunshiny day. It seems to have been some form of road rage situation, but it’s unclear if the crash that closed Atlantic...

I Have Sinned Against You Free Rangers,It’s not actually as dramatic as all that, but I am aware that in a rare instance there was no e-mail last week from this location. Sorry about that. Strange days, my friends. But when this many strange days get strung...

Hey Free Rangers, I really am trying to understand the psychology of the fridge starers. A repeat customer who had been shown the signage on the fridge and had been repeatedly asked by Derek and then Wesley to do his shopping on the wall instead of in front of the...

Ya Know Free Rangers,I may have spoken too soon. So, this little jackass walks into the shop, wants to know about our exclusive single barrels (or “store picks” as the whiskey collecting world often calls them). “I’m just going to put these down here,” he says,...
