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.

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)

Virginia Distillery RED WINE cask finished Whiskey (Redstone Barrel Society Selection) https://dev.redstoneliquors.com/virginia-distillery-red-wine-cask-finished-whiskey-redstone-barrel-society-selection/ Sat, 29 Sep 2018 02:37:56 +0000 http://www.redstoneliquors.com/?p=17066  

Excited to announce the arrival of our latest Redstone Barrel Society Whiskey! This time we teamed up with Virginia Distillery to bring you Another rare and unique offering.

Last Month we released our Coffee cask finished highland malt whiskey. This time we took the same whiskey and instead finished it in a french red wine barrel. Same whiskey completely different flavor profile.

Their Virginia-Highland Whisky (which is made from 100% malted barley, marrying whisky from Scotland with whisky made on-site in Virginia) was then finished in French red wine casks! The result is fantastic but still real distinct from the last cask we had finished from them, This scotch style whiskey has a nuanced character with notes of dark fruits, raisins, plums and slight strawberry. Bottles are $59.99/750ml and available at both Redstone Liquors Locations as well at at our friends at framingham liquors and Nobscot wine & spirits!

Cheers

Whistle Pig cask strength Rye single barrel (Redstone Barrel Society exclusive) https://dev.redstoneliquors.com/whistle-pig-cask-strength-rye-single-barrel-redstone-barrel-society-exclusive/ Sat, 29 Sep 2018 01:11:38 +0000 http://www.redstoneliquors.com/?p=17069

Super excited to announce the arrival of our whistle pig Rye whiskey single barrel bottled exclusively for Redstone barrel society we had the daunting task of tasting multiple barrels at the farm (tough job we know) and found this gem…aged almost a full 13 years (even though bottles say it’s a 10 year) proofed at 113.9 this barrel exudes notes similar to that of a Old Fashioned…citrusy orange rind and cherries compliment a weighty body that leaves a lingering sweet finish with minimal heat. One of the best and unique single barrel rye whiskies that we have had the pleasure of selecting

This barrel yield was limited to only 132 750ml bottles so get your before they sell out. $77.99/ 750ml and available at both Redstone Locations, framingham liquors & nobscot wine and spirits.

Knob Creek Single Barrel Rye (Redstone Barrel Society pick) https://dev.redstoneliquors.com/knob-creek-single-barrel-rye-redstone-barrel-society-pick/ Sat, 29 Sep 2018 00:17:49 +0000 http://www.redstoneliquors.com/?p=16999  

We are excited to announce the arrival of our Knob Creek Single barrel RYE Whiskey! This is only one of a handful of barrels to hit the state of MA ever!

New to Knob Creek this Single barrel program lets us hand select special barrels, we then taste at cask strength as well as proof them down to 115 proof. The particular barrel that we have selected was 128.8 proof out of the gate, it started and finished off HOT!

Proofing this down to 115 opened up the aromatics displaying sweet cherry and toffee notes it also dissipated the heat leaving us with a Rye Whiskey that still has a chewy and vicious mouthfeel with soft rye spice in the front, sweet and delicate cherry and dark chocolate notes creep up in the back palate and linger throughout the finish making you crave that next sip.

The barrel yield was limited to only 180 bottles so stock up and enjoy while supplies last!

This Redstone barrel Society selection retails for $52.99/750ml and is available at the following locations:

Redstone Liquors Stoneham
Redstone Liquors Andover
Nobscot Wine and Spirits (Framingham)
Framingham Liquors
Kelly Square Liquors Worcester

Meet Brent Elliott Master distiller of Four Roses bourbon! https://dev.redstoneliquors.com/meet-brent-elliott-master-distiller-of-four-roses-bourbon/ Fri, 23 Feb 2018 21:05:29 +0000 http://www.redstoneliquors.com/?p=16938 Meet Brent Elliott Master distiller form 4 roses bourbon!

We are proud to host Brent Elliott, Master Distiller for Four Roses Bourbon. He will be pouring samples signing bottles and talking bourbon from 12-2pm Saturday February 24th at our Stoneham location.

A native of Owensboro, Kentucky, Brent became Master Distiller at Four Roses Bourbon in September 2015 and he is uniquely qualified for this role… after all, he’s been helping Four Roses select exquisite barrels of Bourbon at their peak of maturation for the past ten years, working closely with former Master Distiller, Jim Rutledge.

As the Distillery’s Director of Quality, Brent’s decade of experience with Four Roses includes everything from applying his Chemistry degree to evaluate Bourbons in the tasting lab, to taking part in the selection of barrels for special Single Barrel bottlings and Limited Edition products. Brent applies his on-the-job experience to his role of Master Distiller, ensuring that each Four Roses product has the fruity, smooth and mellow character, along with a hint of spice, that the brand has become known for around the world.

Every stage of the distillation process is critical and you’ll find Brent’s heart and soul in every one of them.
