If it is as good as it's nose, it will not disappoint

Found this on my travels in Delaware!

It's crazy, these were so hard to find when they were released (I also paid a slight premium for my bottle) and a recent stop into Heaven Hill and they had cases of it out for purchase (no limit).

They've had some at Costco off and on and steady the last few times I've been in. Grabbed a bottle a while back.

Look what 3 bottles followed me home tonight...
I even got a grenade

I am curious what you think about the purple top when you open it?

Oh , btw, we picked the Tremor IV barrel today.

It's a winner, for sure.

13 year old , high rye, 95/5

Don’t know when bottles will be ready to purchase?

Don’t know when bottles will be ready to purchase?

Once the barrel's dumped and bottled, @DTX2023Tremor will post a link to purchase — likely in the next week or two.
Rough Target is the 1st of Sept.

The ordering window will be open long enough for everyone to get their orders in.

It baffles me why Crown Royal doesn't release cask strength whiskey. @MVI and I were talking to someone at The Whiskey Blendery whose had the 31 year signature whiskey and said it was a phenomenal pour. I imagine Found North is getting some of their stock from Crown and their blends and are rated as great to nearly perfect pours, which makes me wonder why Crown won't just release cask strength bottles.

I've signed up to buy a barrel of 110 Proof Makers Mark.

It was stamped with my name this week, and will be ready in August 2034.

This was a pure label buy. The kids that stop by the tailgate can mix it with coke.

I got two bottles of this as a gift. One for bringing a friend a serpentine belt when the belt blew on his Mastercraft with only 100 hours. And another one for towing him to the launch after he couldn't change the belt I brought him. Lol. Anyway, its very good. I didn't really get any of the maple on the first try. Need to try it again.

Widow Jane Decadence: rich caramel and oak and spice depth

The nose includes aromas like marshmallow, chocolate and charred oak. You're halfway to a s'more just by smelling it. The nose is expressive with dried cherry and raisin, along with lemon curd and pie crust. The balance between sweet and spicy is precisely dialed in.

That bottle is definitely a crowd pleaser. It is often one I pour for people who tell me they don't drink whiskey neat.

Nulu, Penelope and Very Olde St Nick all have Maple Brulee or Maple whiskies (the first two are finished in maple syrup casks that are then torched on the inside to caramelize the sugars, not sure what Very Olde St. Nick did to theirs as they're a bit secretive).

If you like maple cask finished whiskies, another one to try are honey cask finished whiskies. Short Barrel's the Bee's Knees series has led the way. They also do a honey finished rye which I think they call Afterswarm. And, while you're in the Short Barrel line-up, their maple cask finished whiskey is called Sapsquatch.

A few other distilleries who do honey cask finished are Seelbach's (Beekeeper), Starlight Distillery, Glenns Creek, and Kentucky Nectar (which is a bit harder to find outside of KY).

I saw this email as well and was a little confused by it as my local store has had this in stock for months now. Maybe its a new batch they're releasing?
