Bourbon barrel pick ..... gauging interest?

[CigarStone]

I'm sure that "gauging interest" will live on in infamy

Steve @Eqwhipped will be posting the "real" info shortly but I thought I would tickle the fancy of the bourbon lovers here. Steve and I are going down to Kentucky for a bourbon buying/camping trip in the next few weeks, and yesterday Steve casually asks me if I want to do a "barrel pick".

My grandson was in the truck with me and we were both cracking up as Steve explains this "barrel pick". We get to buy our own barrel of their incredible bourbon at Whiskey Thief in Frankfort Ky. and it's only $8000 or so. We design our own label, they produce the label, they bottle it for us, and we get to keep the barrel. It dawns on me that he is serious, he goes on to explain that with the direction the world is going, it is one of only a few truly recession proof investments.

Short story long, Steve will be posting a new thread here soon with the details but we were thinking about a "Edicion Limitada Cigar Pass Bourbon". We only need to find buyers for roughly 180-200 bottles. Steve will be posting the details as soon as he gets it worked out.

Stay tuned!

P.S. Steve shared a bottle of their bourbon with me and it blew away everything I had ever had.

Really! Even better than Widow Jane?

I don't care for bourbon, but that stuff was good!

1.50 is my favorite gauge mandolin pick, followed closely by 1.15.

Oh wait, you mean whiskey not picks made of bourbon barrels…

I hadn't had Widow Jane yet at the time Steve shared the whiskey thief with me.

How much per bottle?

How much per bottle?

I'm going to defer that to Steve once he gets all the details rather than me guessing.

If its 8000 for the barrel it should be around 33 per bottle. The google says there's 220-260 bottles per barrel.

Interesting. Will samples be available..??

I'm pretty sure the price will be higher than that because of the evaporation called the Angels share. But again, let's let Steve fill us in when he gets all the information.

I’d be in for whatever would fit in a shipping box. So say 12…

I am intrigued.

Not a “bourbon guy” but I am intrigued as well.

I’m not a “bourbon guy” either, but I would be in for a couple of bottles for the cool factor!

This is VERY interesting. Any idea what the abv will be? In any case I’m down!

 

[MX]

I could be down for a bottle or two

 

[lucasbuck]

Wonder if they would do something like 1L instead of the standard 750ML? Sorry, I’m just a wee bit excited

How about barrel proof?! Would up the price but end up with fewer bottles needing to be dealt with.

Everything they do is Barrel proof.
