The holiday shopping season is upon us! We know we promise only to send a few updates every year, but we're spreading this one out over two weeks because we have so much coming up!



First off, our Ironweed Rye Whiskey is coming back! Our initial release sold out pretty quickly, and the second batch has finally hit the six-month mark. We will be emptying the barrels and filling bottles this week, and it will hit the liquor store shelves and be available at the distillery next week.



Something really special weâ€™re putting together for the whiskey fans on your shopping list is our new AGE IT YOURSELF WHISKEY KITS! The kit comes in an attractive, custom-printed box, and includes a two-liter charred American white oak barrel and enough of our Coal Yard Distillersâ€™ Series New Make Bourbon or Rye Whiskey to fill it up (plus a little left over to help with the waiting).



And finally, we will be starting an annual tradition of having a special holiday offering here at the distillery. This year we will be releasing a one-year-old Ironweed Bourbon Whiskey, distilled and barreled last November - the oldest whiskey we've ever offered, and produced not long after we opened. The flavors that have developed in the barrel over the last year are incredible!



Youâ€™ll get another email from us next Monday (December 2) at 10 a.m. with instructions on how to make reservations for the rye, the one-year-old bourbon, or the AGE IT YOURSELF kits. They are all going to be available in a very limited supply so, if you really want to get your hands on one of these products, keep an eye on your inbox! We've got an extremely busy week ahead of us, so please be patient.



If we donâ€™t see you before then, we (Cooper included) hope that you and your friends and family have a very, very happy Thanksgiving!
