2014 Bourbon County Brands release - Chicagoland

That won't be early enough.

 

Who will be pissed when Vav doesn't give them twice as much as people who line up at 7 am Black Friday!

 

This is getting worse and worse every year lol.

 

rarer exists. saw the barrels first hand. gonna be crazy whenever they release it.

 

Yeah, I believe it was confirmed that they're doing it. I thought I remembered reading that this isn't being done with Pappy barrels, but is...being aged in barrels that are either in the high 20s or 30s (years)?

 

I heard that is was 32 year barrels but the name escapes me right now. Elmer T Lee maybe.

 

32...yeah, that sounds right. I was gonna say Elijah Craig, but I don't remember at all.

 

Thats what it is.

 

Mix of Elijah Craig 21-42 year barrels I believe.

 

heaven hill 35 and 45 year old barrels, blended.

 

Heaven Hill was my second guess. I'm curious how hot (alcohol heat) this one'll be.

 

Rare on Black Friday of 2016 is what I heard.

 

Perfect, I have to be in Wisconsin this weekend, so that gives me enough time (hopefully) to start camping LP Binny's next week.

 

So that means they are aging it for 3 years this time?

 

So that will be an imperial rare then?

 

I herd it was E.C.

In the above link, someone mentions talking to John Hall about it, and that he confirms 30+ year old Heaven Hill barrels. However, since Heaven Hill owns Elijah Craig, it makes sense that it is in both HH barrels and that those barrels are Elijah Craig.

 

Good info. Thanks. Im going to set up my tent now. For the love of god I wish they would do a ticketed release at the barrel warehouse like everyother major beer release. Raffel the tickets, win and you can buy all 3 four packs plus 1 each of any bombers.

 

Yeah the black friday release is a monster and pretty horrible. I really hope they change it to a ticketed release but don't expect it to happen. This past release is the first time since I really got into craft beer that I didn't search it out (albeit only since around 2010). I purchased a 4 pack of regular in total and content with the times I've gotten the variants on tap.
