[mkbruce]

My order is in - got to keep up the collection. They keep getting better and better.

 

[AchillesKobus]

As always thank you @DTX2023Tremor for setting this up, answering questions, handing out knowledge, and all the work that goes into this.
2 bottles ordered and email sent.

 

[Briski]

My order is in for (2) bottles. Email forwarded.
Cheers

I got my 2 bottles and sent the email.
Let the good times roll!

Just want to say thanks to everyone who's gotten their orders in so far, and an extra thank you for actually sending me those confirmation emails. I know it's an extra step, but it makes coordinating this whole thing infinitely easier on my end, and y'all have been great about it.

Where things stand:

Shipping — For those who need bottles shipped, I'll start working on shipping labels early this week and will get everyone a quote. Watch your inbox.

Blendery pickup — I'm heading out there later this week to collect orders and drop off bottle labels for those of you picking up directly. Once that's done, your bottles will be labeled and ready whenever you swing by.

Mark your calendar — orders close Friday, September 11.

This barrel had a great yield, and being straight with you, I don't expect we'll sell through all of it. There's another whiskey club that's interested in taking whatever we don't claim.

To be clear: we have first access. Nobody's competing with us for bottles right now. But it's not fair to leave that group hanging indefinitely without knowing what they'll have to work with. So here's the deadline:

Our window closes at end of day Friday, September 11. Whatever's left after that goes to the other club.

No need to panic-buy — you've got a couple of weeks. But if you've been on the fence, or thinking about grabbing an extra for the shelf or as a gift, this is your window. Once we hand the rest over, that's it for Reserve IV.

Same reminders as before: 4 bottles per transaction (Texas law), second transaction needs to be another adult 21+, and forward every confirmation to [email protected] with your forum username on it.

Thanks again, everybody. This has been a fun one to put together, and I'm looking forward to hearing what you all think once these are in your hands.

Can’t wait to pop that bottle! Sounds like a good one!

 

[Najaf4life]

Got my two ordered. E-mail conformation sent already.

With a barrel yield of 180, it will be interesting to see how many bottles are left relative to the original vote that we submitted and showed interest of about 180 bottles.

What a fun project.

Thank you for making it happen! Thank you to MVI for helping with the pick.

Two separate orders placed. Two bottles in each order - I should have read the updates first

No worries. Easy enough for me to handle.

Looking into this. Thanks for sharing!

Please let us know about the flask. I want one.

@modified is looking into this. It won't happen quickly as there'd be lead times for customization.

Ordered 2 bottles since Reserve III is already half gone.

 

[xrocket21]

Ordered 1, email sent. Probably shoulda got 2, but that's a lot of money on Whiskey.

 

[Mhpdr63]

Im still good for my 2. TY for all your work

This forum can never be accused of not helping you spend money.

Shipping payment sent!

Thanks again for all the hard work! Since we are only doing two releases a year, I vote that we continue working our way up to a 20+ year if they allow it. Perhaps we can make one release a high-end offering each year and keep the other similar to the last three releases.

 

[Jrflyin]

Thanks Mike, sorry my schedule doesn’t allow me to pick up in person this time. You are very appreciated for everything you do with this.

I'm all for higher age statements, but that also raises price point and am concerned about broader group appetite for a higher price point.

For reference, the Buff Turkey bottles (15 - 17 year age statements depending on time of bottling) and 18 year Barton bottles were all in the $350 to $450 a bottle range. This is what you'd expect to pay for a Russell's 13 while Russell's 15 was often in the $500 - $600 range.

I think the really high age statement / price point bottles are something we do as a one-off release outside of the normal cadence. There's always a bit of a timing issue we have to deal with as well. The Blendery releases a barrel when they think it has reached its peek, and they're generally sold on a first come first served basis. I can work with the team there to get us an opportunity to get bottles from a barrel or split one with another group. There were only 6 of the 13 year rye barrels to choose from and they were all sold in days.

Once we get past this release, I'll run a survey to see who has interest for those ultra premium releases. That way I can work with that group directly to make quick decisions on a selection when they're available.

Sounds great. Thanks!
