When Four Roses Master Distiller Brent Elliott and the Mellow Moments group released their acclaimed Tier 6 OESO single barrel earlier this year, we happened to be there in Cox’s Creek on the exact same weekend. And as it turns out, we didn’t just pick any ol’ barrel - tasting blind, our palates found its sister. Literally the barrel that lived right next to it for nearly a decade.

Recipe: OESO (Low Rye, "O" Yeast / Rich Fruit) at 62.3% or 124.6 proof. Pulled from the exact same Rickhouse run, aged just 2 months longer than the Brent Elliott Mellow Moments pick. Tier 6 brawn meets two extra months of oak interaction. That massive signature OESO dark cherry but with a deeper, rounder oak complexity and a bold, long & velvety finish.

This is your shot at tasting the exact same DNA of the most celebrated Mellow Moments single barrel pick of the year. It’s a BLOCK PARTY!

Available now at both Sterling Heights and St. Clair Shores W**e Garden locations. $104.99 + tax until it’s gone! Protip: Also available by the half ounce pour at Best Kept Secret for $7 ALL WEEKEND. Make a reservation at BKS and try it before you buy it!
