We are happy to announce the arrival of our Non Chill Filtered Old Weller Antique 107 Single Barrel Bourbon.  Weller is usually one of the most sought after of our our many barrel picks and anticipate that this years will be no different.

Notes on this barrel include a full body that has boasts layers of caramel in the nose, cherries upon cherries in the mid palate followed by a sweet bruleed sugar finish.  So many cherries that we decided to name this years pick “cherry potter”. As a way to commemorate our 10th Anniversary the first 150 bottles sold will have special stickers affixed to the back with our cherry potter and redstone 10th Anniversary logo. 

Bottles will be released at 5pm Tuesday December 18th at our Stoneham location ONLY. Bottles will be 1 per customer at $29.99/750ml. In an effort to take care of our regulars a limit of 2 bottles (at a 10% discount on the weller ($26.99/750ml)) will be offered to anyone who purchases any other 750ml bottle of Whiskey on that visit. Due to the popularity of this barrel there will be a strict no hold policy and will be first come first served.  

Line(if any) for Tasting and Cookie Jar Raffle will start at 12:30pm (outside of the store). We will start checking IDs and granting admission promptly at 1:00PM  NOTE: if you are not tasting or wanting to draw from raffle you do NOT need to wait in any line!

We are happy to announce the arrival of another Redstone exclusive hand selected single barrel. This time around we have Old welder Antique from buffalo trace. Because of the popularity of this whiskey we must limit purchases this week only (12-1) to 6 bottles per customer.

Old weller antique is a wheated bourbon with a full-bodied flavor and a balanced palette. Its bottled at 107 proof, offering a complex taste and bold finish. It’s certainly a recognizable member of the Weller label, with its own unique characteristics to compliment the high proof.

TASTING NOTES:
Sweet and floral notes and coupled with vanilla. The taste is very well balanced with sweet fruit notes, strong vanilla undertone and sharp spicy tones, with a cinnamon finish. Our Redstone barrel also exudes notes of dark cherry with a cinnamon and vanilla finish.

We are not expecting this barrel to last long so swing by and grab your bottle(s) today!

Details of this year’s annual Whiskey draft!

It’s every whiskey drinker’s favorite time of year. When many of the best-known distilleries around the US release their flagships, not to mention some of the highest rated whiskies start hitting the shelves. The only issue is there is never enough of these releases to go around. Our solution is the Whiskey Draft raffle.

With the success and the fun of past years drafts we have once again decided this to be the best and most fair way of rewarding our customers with a chance of scoring some of this rare whiskey (at MSRP)

Whiskey week (as we like to call it) will start on Black Friday (November 27th) and will run though (Friday)December 4th.
Rules: For every bottle of 750ml whiskey purchased at Redstone Liquors (Andover or Stoneham) during Whiskey week you will receive one raffle ticket (all same raffle)…

For every bottle of 750s from one of our many Redstone Exclusive single barrel picks you will get 2 raffle tickets: (while supplies last)

BONUS: Any bottles purchased on Black Friday will get 2 tickets per 750ml and 3 tickets for a Redstone barrel pick.

Some of this years Redstone Exclusive barrels include:

Eagle Rare 10 Year,
1792,
Whistle Pig Rye,
Glendalough Triple Barrel
Old Weller Antique 107 (eta Black Friday) – not confirmed but expected to be avail
Blanton’s (eta Black Friday)- not confirmed but expected to be avail
Buffalo Trace (eta Black Friday)- not confirmed but expected to be avail
On December 7th we will draw from the stack of raffle tickets collected to create a Draft order. First overall pick gets their pick of which whiskey they wish to purchase from the pool. Second pick get to chose from the pool of whats left and so on…

The more tickets you have in, the better your chance to get a spot… But note you can only win once. If we draw your name multiple times you will get moved up in the list. (the folks with the most tickets drawn will move up in the draft based on number of time we pull their ticket). For those that only get picked once your spot on the list depends on the order it was picked.

When called you must make your pick while on the phone with us so that we can contact the next in line with what is avail to them. If messages are not returned the same day we must move forward in the list until you call us back. If calls are not returned for 2 days you will lose your spot in the draft.

There will be a chalkboard of all available whiskeys in the pool waiting to be drafted and how many bottles of each posted in store during whiskey week, this list will not be posted online so swing on though and get your tickets today.
