Please join us this Saturday at 9am for some Great Camaraderie and some Great Bourbon!!
At both Meat Market Locations and Lakeside LIquor we will be releasing 4 different barrel picks along with a great opportunity at our EH Taylor Raffle and are very excited to do so! Our releases are a time of great conversations, great fun and best of all - great people talking about all kinds of things and enjoying the day. We are releasing......
**Four Roses Bourbon -aptly named "Four the People" for all of you. This bottle is very special to us from our time in Kentucky as the pick started out with Matt sharing a hug with Mandy from Barb at Old Forester - what started out as creepy has turned into a very nice relationship that we are thankful for with Mandy!! We sampled 10 different barrels/expressions, and like all picks, took our time with great care - but the best part was Joel asking if everyone was ready to start the first round of voting and our good friend Tyler Richardson calmly saying "no, I am not" drawing a great laugh from Mandy and the rest of us! This bottle is
109.6 Proof
9 Years and 3 Months Old
99.99
We will have sample bottles open at both Meat Markets
This bottle is delicious and was not an easy pick. Please stop in and hear this and the rest of the story that goes along with it!
**Two Barrels of Cream of Kentucky - A brand we and a bunch of our customers fell in love with after we tried it a few months back at another one of our releases. We have two barrels because one is one that we chose, and the other is one that Grainworks chose. A great partnership!! Together these are 2 of the only 3 Cream of Kentucky Barrels in the State so a very nice honor we - and you all - were given by the distillery & distributor.
Barrel 00024 is the one we chose and is 116.30 proof, 7 years old- for bottles we have
**30 bottles at the Eau Claire Location
**24 bottles at the Chippewa Location
Barrel 00525 was chosen by the Grainworks Crew and is 116.80 Proof, also 7 years old- for bottles we have
**18 bottles at the Eau Claire Location
**18 bottles at the Chippewa Falls Location
Retail is 89.99
We will have sample bottles available at both locations
Both of these great bottles will be available at all Collective Locations (Release times vary throughout the weekend just due to logistics)
**Remus From the Distillers Vault Bottle
At 11 Years old and 115.2 Proof this bottle sounds amazing. Chosen by the Grainworks crew at Ross & Squib Distillery in Indiana, it is a barrel of only a few (relatively speaking) chosen by the Master Distiller to be available for barrel picks.
This bottle is only 79.99- a tremendous value for an 11 year and for bottles we have a very small quantity
**18 bottles at the Eau Claire Location
**18 bottles at the Chippewa Falls Location
This bottle is also available at all of the Collective Locations (Release times vary throughout the weekend just due to logistics)
Last but certainly not least!! A customer favorite - our release raffle along with these picks for some other excellent, and highly allocated bottles
We have 6 Bottles of EH Taylor Barrel Proof and 6 Bottles of EH Taylor Single Barrel that we will draw the right to purchase for next Friday, June 12 at 6pm. There will be a box for each at each location, just need your name and phone number on the ticket, you will not need to be present to win.
You will get
**1 ticket for every bottle of Four Roses you buy
**2 tickets for each additional bottle of Cream of Kentucky, Remus, or additional Four Roses bottles
