    Not sure what MSRP was but every Binnys in Illinois charged $12.99 for it, same deal with the Coffee that year. Things were different then, it was a simpler time...

    Now I'm curious as well. I feel like for the fruited variants at least there might be gobs of fruit just stuck in the wooden crevasses.

    It was mentioned by the crew at the Black Friday event. It's also in the BCBS documentary, I think the final chapter.

    The documentary says otherwise. The paper work on the barrels were lost in a fire and they were buried in back rows in some rick house. It was an accident, only a few age bourbon more than 8 to 10 years, but no one does it for 30 years. Thus the hype.

    Thanks, will have to watch it real quick. Just curious why they thought aging beer in barrels that held unpalatable spirits was a good idea.

    I heard it will be called King Edward after GI Founders other grandson. Thats where the original name for King Henry came from. Same thing with Sofie.
