Barrel Aged Blackbeerd Release, June 19
June 11, 2010
We’re finally ready to release the 2010 barrel aged Blackbeerd! This years vintage was aged for almost 7 months in Buffalo Trace barrels. It will be available for sample as well as purchase next Saturday, June 19. Starting on tomorrows Saturday tour hours (11-2), we will be handing out bracelets. Each group of bracelets will be for a designated time, starting at 830 am (trying to avoid the heat of the day). Each person can pick up 2 bracelets. After the groups of bracelets are picked up, the rest of the time will open up to the general public who didn’t get bracelets. We are doing it this way for several reasons: avoid mass hysteria, long lines, utter chaos and all that.
So, the first group of bracelets tour time will start at 830, the next group at 9a, etc… I don’t know how many people to expect to get bracelets but I would guess the Open tour time would be around 10ish. We have not determined a bottle limit but it will be at least 4 per person. Bottles are $15 each (plus tax) and we can accept cash only at this time. I am not really expecting to sell out during this time so any bottles left will be available at the following Thursday tour times. Check here for updates on times and bottle limits. Let’s hope this stream lines the process and is fair to all.
Bracelets are available Saturday 11-2 and Thursday from 4-7- tour hours for the week.
Cheers!
