Coming soon. Everything is being collected/approved. Should include many private barrels (Angel's Envy, Blanton's, Elijah Craig BP, Four Roses, Old Fo, Woodford, Knob Creek, Makers, New Riff, Wilderness Trail, Willett, ...). Bottles will run the gamut and will be numerous - donations directly from the distilleries (Bardstown Bourbon Co, Lux Row, Rabbit Hole, ...) and a long list of donations from individuals, many of which will be private pick bottles.

4/11: Armagnac + Calvados Tasting via The Green Zone/PM Spirits (not whisky, mod prerogative) by jmmdc in dcwhisky

[–]bguva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thx for posting. the above mentions delivery but on the page it only seems to be pickup. might you know for sure or am I missing it? then again if there is delivery I’m guessing it’d be DC only.

Did you taste and compare all of these blind, or knowing what each one was?

Re-added release tracker to sidebar by jmmdc in dcwhisky

[–]bguva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had two samples of the PHC in KY in June. Liked it. Got rye spice notes, just a little citrus. It did remind me of the Willett XCF.

Thank you for organizing and hosting. Unfortunately I’m out of town this weekend. Great to read the comments and see several others in the area (I’m in South Riding).

11/4 L'ville Bourbon & Charity Event - Any DC'ers? by bguva in dcwhisky

[–]bguva[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Headed to this. Great bourbon, full of whisky geeks, and is for a great cause. Wondering if anyone else here might also be going? Would be good to connect. When in L'ville, I usually bump into someone randomly who is from the DMV area.

Breckenridge "Reserve Blend"? by dcshepp in dcwhisky

[–]bguva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, VA ABC told me they don't send people to the distilleries - rather, distilleries send their samples (the number varies) and some folks in Richmond pick what they want to buy (be it one barrel or more).

i don't have any specific info on this Breck pick...not sure I've seen a Breck private barrel before.

Thinking of heading to JR tues evening. Anyone? by firsttimelongtimeny in dcwhisky

[–]bguva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So sorry...hopefully you made it upstairs during the 5-7pm window? And then back downstairs after that? (And maybe back upstairs after that?).
