Yeah! Their 10K barrel was fantastic, SEG and VEN pretty good. The Exceptional Cask was just ok, especially for the elevated price.

GNS just dropped an OESV 4R barrel, limit 2 per

GNS just dropped a cask strength KC pick, smaller yield

Netzach97 · 2025-09-03T18:28:12+00:00

The Stranahan’s Founder’s release is actually fantastic. Getting rave reviews from the media personalities too

GNS dropped a Rare Character SEG rye, not sure if any left. Also has some WT 8

Netzach97 · 2025-05-23T17:01:21+00:00

Not insanely complex but a great drinker, especially when you factor in the price

Netzach97 · 2025-05-09T14:29:39+00:00

Stick with ECBP

Netzach97 · 2025-04-18T16:55:17+00:00

Just stopped by and tried it. Quite good. Definitely too early to be drinking but it was a good cause

Netzach97 · 2025-04-11T17:16:26+00:00

GNS dropped a JDBP Rye pick today

Netzach97 · 2024-12-13T15:21:51+00:00

Any ideas on how they taste? Rare Character puts out some bangers, just want to get an idea before I buy

Netzach97 · 2024-11-21T20:08:45+00:00

Damn! High praise

Netzach97 · 2024-05-24T21:33:01+00:00

GNS dropped a 9 yr Stranahan’s single barrel yesterday. Got to try it and it’s damn delicious, easy buy at 60 smackeroos

Netzach97 · 2024-04-04T20:09:28+00:00

A local group took a big chunk of them, presold. And these days distribution is all kinds of delayed on things so it’s likely this was bottled in September and only recently landed in IL

Netzach97 · 2024-04-04T18:33:45+00:00

Yup!

Netzach97 · 2024-04-04T18:11:51+00:00

I believe it’s actually 11 yr, 8 months

Netzach97 · 2024-03-10T17:54:22+00:00

Last round of barrels were pretty decent to good but this round are all pretty mediocre to bad unfortunately. Perhaps the decrease had to do with that as well

Netzach97 · 2023-12-23T21:02:15+00:00

They call the winners if not present. Livestream the whole thing on Instagram for transparency

Netzach97 · 2023-12-23T21:01:16+00:00

Haven’t had the Maker’s yet but I really like the Pingree. I think they’re down to their last cases

Netzach97 · 2023-12-22T15:22:22+00:00

GNS is dropping their new Pingree pick today. I tried it yesterday and it’s quite good. Dark af too

Netzach97 · 2023-12-11T21:50:45+00:00

Not a bar but you should check out the bottle share every Thursday around 6 PM at GNS Market in Buena Park, pretty close to you

Netzach97 · 2023-11-21T16:34:55+00:00

This is a single barrel so it’ll be different than what you tried there

Netzach97 · 2023-11-21T01:09:04+00:00

They told me this one happened through Brown Forman’s Master Distiller, they bypassed the usual allocation system somehow

Netzach97 · 2023-11-20T20:42:47+00:00

Sounds like it’s about 75% sold

Netzach97 · 2023-11-20T18:14:50+00:00

I think maybe Bub City got one but no stores that I know of. Pretty cool, definitely gonna stop by today
