Having the same thing right now!
Er, I was...
Having the same thing right now!
I'm slow. I've had my first few sips now after my initial Kentucky Chew. There is definitely a unique aspect to this flavor profile. It hits my mouth and palate differently than anything I remember drinking. I like it. Solid.I liked Pigskin when I had it.
Catching up on old posts. Cheers to your grandma! She's just a couple months older than my mother who turned 97 in January. It's hard watching them get older and not be able to do the things they did before.Saw some Kentucky Owl Rye Last Batch at my "Gucci" grocery store (I only get there once every six months, if that, it's not on my route to anywhere hardly ever) today for $275 plus 7% tax. If I was a higher roller, they had 4 or 5 bottles, and I would have gotten some!
I'll be drinking tonight. My 97.5 year old grandma, my last living grandparent, went into hospice today. I was hoping she'd make it to 100, but she was chasing birds off of her porch, fell and broke her femur, and it's been all downhill ever since. Everybody when you get a chance, toast my 97 year old grandma who was CHASING BIRDS OFF OF HER PORCH. (I'm too tall to live to be 97, but if I make it to like 82, I'll chase some birds off of my porch that day in her honor lol)
Hope this is still current and I didn't pick a bad time to take a couple days off from the thread. I'll take 2 for sure and checking with my boys to see if they want any. So I may bump up to 4.BBNAGB II: Whiskey Boogaloo

I have been in contact for a few months discussing options with a few other PCFers, and one again we will once again be doing a New Riff Barrel Pick.
I am looking at June 2nd for the selection which would lead to pickup the 1st week of July.
This is important
I found last year shipping is a real pain in the ass and as I appear to only have 1 person this year that I know will be avilable to help with pickup and shipping I am limiting shipped orders to 20 people. Also I found 4 bottles was the most that comfortably fit in a box packed safely for shipping.
In short this means shipped orders will be limited to 20 orders of a max of 4 bottles each.
If you are able to come to the pickup at the distillery, or can come meetup with someone who can make the pickup at the distillery then obviously you don't have to take up one of those 20 shipped spots.
Bottle Information
New Riff Bourbon
Aged a minimum of 4 years
Bottled non chill filtered at barrel proof
minimum amount of bottles 60, final bottle count must be multiple of 6.
cost: $65/Bottle ( + shipping cost if being shipped)
As last year the total payment will be due 7 days prior to the barrel selection.
Like last year I will be keeping this in this thread as it just seems the proper place.
If you would like in please respond with the number of bottles you would like so I can start gatehring information.
Here is the current list and bottle count, those highlighted in yellow need shipped
