Shoppers Vineyard has been selected to be the exclusive retailer for the Kris Comstock Series from Buffalo Trace Distillery. In case you didn't know, Kris Comstock is the Brand Manager for all the Buffalo Trace bourbons. In other words, he controls every barrel of whiskey they make. There will be 3 releases in the Series and all of them will be one-off single barrels only set to be produced once. This project is pretty interesting because Kris can pick ANY barrel he wants and since his name is on it I'm sure it's going to be something special.
The first release, which is set to arrive next week, will be the Kris Comstock Series: Rock Hill Farms 100 Proof Bourbon Whiskey. I have not tried it, but here are his notes:
"This bourbon is different than many I've tried here at Buffalo Trace. It has a creamier mouth feel than most of our bourbon - a buttery texture. The taste makes me think of white vanilla frosting. It very delicate. Opposed to big earthy whiskies that I sometimes like. This has clean crisp finish. It doesn't linger. 100 proof, but it doesn't overpower me. I like it."
Like I said, this is a pre-sale and with it comes special pricing. This whiskey will retail for $49.99/bottle, but use promo code KCSRHF and get it for $43.99/bottle. Only 228 bottles were produced and it will never be made again. This is a collector's item, so don't wait to order.
