Black Friday Doorbuster in Stoneham! https://dev.redstoneliquors.com/black-friday-doorbuster-in-stoneham/ Wed, 27 Nov 2019 16:32:34 +0000 http://www.redstoneliquors.com/?p=17571

Swing by our Stoneham location at 9am Black Friday to get your hands on some pretty sought after items (list below) as well as Bonus Tickets for our annual Whiskey Draft raffle for whalez like Pappy Van winkle, BTAC and more…

Usually our “Whiskey week” kicks off on Black Friday but things this year will be a little different. Instead of kicking off Whiskey week (an entire week where raffle tickets for our whiskey draft are given) we will still have our Black Friday rules for tickets (read below) but this will be for Black Friday only.

But no need to worry for those folks that are traveling or can’t make it we will still have our whiskey week however it will most likely be in a couple of weeks from now (will announce date at a later time) where you can still get tickets on purchases of whiskey. Whats the reason for this change you ask? In addition to our distributors not shipping out any of the BTAC, Pappy, allocations yet. Some of our barrels like Blantons, Buffalo Trace, Eagle Rare and 2 completely different Knob Creek picks were delayed in bottling and are yet to arrive but expected in any week now. We wanted to give folks the opportunity to bulk up on these picks and earn those bonus tickets on our single barrels!

Black Friday Rules for whiskey draft raffle: Purchase any bottle of whiskey 750ml only and receive 2 entries. Purchase any Redstone Single barrel selection get 3 entries. These entries go toward our annual whiskey draft raffle for your chance to purchase those unicorn bottles like Pappy, BTAC, 4R LESB, OFBB, Parkers, Birthday Bourbon and more…

All this being said we are super excited to launch our 4th barrel in our Infinity RedStone series! Our first Single barrel of Old forester will be released at 9am Black Friday! Bonus rules apply and folks will earn 3 tickets for each bottle purchased that day only. Tasting notes and more information on this barrel can be found by clicking here. Its definitely one worth picking up!

In addition to our single barrel here is a list of whiskey that will be released that day, these will be in limited quantities and spread out between 9am and 12pm.

11th Annual Whiskey Fest! (Stoneham) https://dev.redstoneliquors.com/11th-annual-whiskey-fest-stoneham/ Thu, 24 Oct 2019 18:15:11 +0000 http://www.redstoneliquors.com/?p=17537

Date: November 9, 2019

Join us for our 11th Annual Whiskey Fest at our Stoneham location! This is our favorite event to host with over 100 different whiskeys to sample from!

As we do every year we will have a number of limited releases including some Single barrels and some surprises to unveil at the event as well! Hope to see you all there!

The list of this years distillery attendees is downright bananas and too long to post! You will definitely not want to miss this!

*Bonus for 3 hours only we will be opening up our “whiskey week raffle” BLACK FRIDAY rules apply so BONUS TICKETS on bottles purchased during that time!

For those not familiar with our whiskey week it starts on Black Friday and ends the Friday after.

Elijah Craig 8 year Single Barrel Redstone Barrel Society https://dev.redstoneliquors.com/elijah-craig-8-year-single-barrel-redstone-barrel-society/ Fri, 20 Sep 2019 15:32:56 +0000 http://www.redstoneliquors.com/?p=17473

So excited to announce the arrival of our Elijah Craig Single barrel bourbon. This particular barrel was rested for 8 years in Rickhouse EE on the 6th floor. (one of our favorite warehouses so no surprise it outshined the other 9 and 10 year old barrels that we put against it) It rang in at a monster 133 proof out of the cask before being proofed down to 94 at bottling.

Of all the Elijah Craig barrels we had tasted on this trip this one was a clear cut winner. Boasting a heavy dose of nutty caramel on the nose, a mouthful of cherries on the palate and a slightly sweet dusting of baking spice and stone fruits on the long long finish, this is the perfect accompaniment to a crisp fall night or a decadent treat after dinner.

Bottles go on Sale for $34.99/750ml at 1pm At both Redstone Locations as well as a small amount at Framingham Liquors. Our other Redstone Barrel Society stores (Kelly Square Worcester, Nobscot wine & Spirits, and Conti Liquors will have very small amounts avail tomorrow morning)

This is also the 2nd Barrel in our Infinity Redstone series and has our Waxed Yellow stone on the back of each bottle. Collect the entire lineup in the Gauntlet and you will get awarded Bonus Tickets in our Annual Whiskey draft later this year for your crack at getting your hands on some of the most sought after whiskey on the planet.

Redstone Barrel Society Four Roses OESV Single barrel bourbon https://dev.redstoneliquors.com/redstone-barrel-society-four-roses-oesv-single-barrel-bourbon/ Tue, 30 Jul 2019 02:41:19 +0000 http://www.redstoneliquors.com/?p=17409

We are excited to announce the arrival of our hand selected single barrel of Four Roses bourbon! This barrel happens to also be one of our favorite recipes, OESV. The OESV recipe mingles four roses high corn (75%) mash bill with the “V” yeast strain which according to four roses is known to produce a delicate fruit profile.

This barrel in particular exudes tons of vanilla and slight toasted caramel reminiscent of a rich crème brûlée. Let it breath for a moment and revisit to find notes of dark cherry lingering on the long finish. Mouthfeel for days and rings in at a modest 112.4 proof with very minimal heat. Should also note this barrel was also bottled a couple of weeks shy of its 10th birthday and came from warehouse LE which is especially known for its spectacular liquid.

This selection will also be the first barrel of our Gauntlet series. Select Redstone barrel society barrels this year will be part of this series. Each bottle will come with a unique color “Infinity Redstone” wax seal on the side along with a sticker identifying the unique stone on our RL gauntlet.

Only 96 Bottles will go on sale at 1pm this Wednesday July 31st at our Stoneham location for $79.99/750ml and will be limited to 1 bottle per person. Anyone who supports our barrel program by purchasing one of our other Redstone barrel society single barrels currently in stock will be allocated a 2nd bottle to purchase.

They also went a step further and added vanilla beans and cocoa nibs to a portion of it to give us TWO versions of this delicious pairing of whiskey and syrup. Perfect to make cocktails with or pour over waffles, ice cream and pancakes. (they will also be in house pouring samples so you can taste)

Bonus # 2: Union Square donuts will be at this event with a special donut made with one of our single barrel whiskeys! They will also have a variety of their regular offerings to treat yourself to.
