Healthy Spirits: New Releases

First off all, I will address the PARABOLA issue. It didn’t come in today. It will (probably) come in tomorrow. Ugh. When it comes there will be a post on the blog. Only people in Beer of the Month Club will be able to reserve bottles, and there will definitely be bottle limits. We are only getting a few bottles of this one and we want to make sure everyone has a shot at it. I wish you all the best of luck.

We received a couple great bottles today, which you will find below.

1. R.I.P.A. on Rye-He’Brew’s Bittersweet Lenny DIPA aged in Sazerac Rye Barrels

2. Port Brewing Anniversary-10% Imperial IPA

3. Lost Abbey Tumblers and Stemmed Glassware!

4. Einbecker Mai Ur-Bock-Delicious, sessionable German seasonal

5. Gavroche Red-French Biere De Garde

Buffalo Belgian Bitter-A Hoppy Belgian Strong Ale from the makers of the fantastic Buffalo Stout

Healthy Spirits: Marin Bourbon Barrel Aged Dipsea Barleywine!

This annual release is usually exclusively sold at the brewery, but the brewer was kind enough to sell us a generous portion of the cases (only 100 cases were bottled).

The already awesome Old Dipsea is brewed with an English strain of Brettanomyces and then aged for 10 months in Heaven Hill bourbon barrels. HOO HA!

If you’re in Beer of the Month Club, you will be getting one of these with your June selections. For everyone else, it is on the shelf. Come and get it!

cheers,

Willett Single Barrel Limited Release Bourbons have landed!

It is a happy day for Healthy Spirits my friends. I’m proud to announce the first ever appearance of the Willett Family Estate Bottled Single Barrel Bourbons. Take a moment to let that soak in (brief pause), yes the day has finally arrived.

These special Willett bottlings are pretty much the most limited release bourbons on the planet. The 16yr batch we received produced only 120 bottles and the 13yr had only 152 bottles. Both were bottled at barrel proof and unfiltered so all the oils and proteins that give bourbon great depth and flavor are still present. Believe me, you want these.

New Arrivals:

Willett 16yr single barrel 69.5% (wheated recipe)
Willett 13yr single barrel 62%
Jefferson’s 17yr Presidential 47% (wheated recipe)
Black Maple Hill Small Batch 47.5%
Old Fitzgerald 12yr Special Reserve 45%

I should have a couple more vintages of the Willett special releases due in next week, and if you haven’t tried the Black Maple Hill Bourbon yet, give it a go because its arguably the best bang for your buck on the market. Yippie Ki Yay!
