Alright. I'll get a list of the 10 barrels. They obviously have a description based on their own tastings at selection.

Whistle can pick the bottle. Then we can figure out how many.

Mattie, Are you able to run a private bottling for a group like cigarbid through any of your retailers? One of our locals here picked a really empty barrel (angels were greedy or it leaked) and let a guy buy all the bottles and put his details on the label. My understanding is it has to run through a retailer to meet the three tier requirements but that would be a cool thing ;)
/r/bourbon, SB, and bourbonr have done this before. Cbid label!!!!

I'm going down to cox's creek bottling plant 19 Jan to pick OBSK and two other recipes I forget which with a local store. I've hit all the stores up and now they have much harder time get private barrels and won't do a private bottling. Ihave almost all of the diff recipes missing one or two. I've liked my OESQ the best.

You know what else has great private barrels? Smooth Ambler. Keep an eye out for the cAsk strength ryes!!!

Back on topic......
NYE was good to me

2016 Four Roses Limited SmB (my friend found bottle in the wild hour before party)

Mayor Pingree Bourbon

While in Michigan over the Christmas / New Years holiday I had the opportunity to sample a new to me bourbon from Detroit ( aged and bottled in Ferndale MI.) and IMHO it was exceptional. Here's a little info:

It was never early enough for you.

It would be up to the distillery to sell a light barrel. But honestly, I wouldn't buy it unless I tasted it.

To answer your question.....yes I'm sure it could be done. Today it's all about volume with bourbon. Only those that order a lot of product get to pick barrels.

In that particular instance, the gentlemen who wound up with the personalized bottles was on the barrel picking trip and they tasted and enjoyed the barrel. When they realized it was light they worked out a deal with the retailer to buy the whole barrel worth and as the retailer gets to put stuff on the side of the label that's how he wound up with a custom.

I'd love to be able to do that for Cbid 😉 Do you attend the barrel picks? The ones I've been on w/ BT and Beam the distributor reps have accompanied us.

Correct. The single barrel and small batch are 6 bottle cases. The yellow label comes in 12.

When my accounts select barrels, I have the options of going with them. I planned to go in November, but the guys wanted to take an extra day in Memphis. My schedule wouldn't allow me to spend that extra day.

I think we are picking a 1792 barrel in February I'll have to see how my calendar looks as we get closer.

For Christmas I received:

A bottle of 1792 Single Barrel #41 from my BIL Bottled for OPPERMANNS Cork N Ale in Sag. MI.

Also received a bottle of Virginia Black from my Son Elliott ( tried @ Bourbonfest in INDY this Dec. and liked it )
Also received a bottle of Chattanooga 1816 Reserve from my other BIL

Tried and then purchased a bottle of Mayor Pingree Bourbon red label ( do not let the four year aging hold you back, my cigar smoking BIL's and I thought it was exceptional. )

How is this going to work with distribution?

I have no doubt I can get as many cases as y'all want.

And do we have someone volunteering to collect?

I've never done a mass deal like this so bring me up to speed

I really didn't expect this much interest.

Someone chime in with a great idea......I am in school plus full time job so I don't have time to do it all.

After knowing the price per bottle,shipping and knowing who wants what maybe this'll fall into place.
