On the Old Forester front: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There’s also a beer called Birthday Bourbon County <\/strong>aged in Old Forester Birthday barrels, Bourbon County President’s Choice <\/strong>in 2019 Old Forester President’s Choice barrels, plus a Bourbon County Reserve <\/strong>label for Old Forester 1910-aged BCS:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nWe found those a few months back … and since then we’ve waited for a while. I was starting to think Goose was going to give us an all-barrel Black Friday this year but within the last couple weeks a few more options have appeared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And they sound kinda fun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bourbon County Stout 2020: The Adjuncts<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\nThe first one we spotted is what they call Special #4 Stout, but we’re calling Bourbon County Brunch<\/strong>. It’s got barrel-aged maple syrup and Intelligensia coffee listed as adjuncts, which means that we get some kind of return to a coffee BCS this year. (Last year just Wheatwine had coffee added, so no doubt hardcore BCS Coffee fans will be looking forward to this one.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nNext we spotted Bourbon County Toasted Coconut<\/strong>: <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nFollowing that, we found a label that seemed fake initially. Recently however, a bottle label emerged for Bourbon County Kentucky Fog<\/strong>, boasting Earl Grey tea, black tea and honey. This one will be unlike any BCS we’ve ever seen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nFinally comes the weirdest one we’ve seen in years — Peaches & Cream Wheatwine<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe last couple years of Wheatwine have been divisive amongst fans but we’ve loved both years for offering a big, sweet, syrupy, boozy dreamsicle of a beer, so aging this on peaches and vanilla honestly makes perfect sense. Bourbon and peach is a classic cocktail combination, and extra vanilla never hurts — so we’re looking forward to this one for sure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSo when will we know what’s coming out for sure? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last year, Goose released official details in mid-August, so I find it unlikely that any final labels will trickle out — but one never knows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are these the real deal? Is this the full lineup? We should find out pretty soon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
