(Long post warning) …
I don’t even know where to start with this one. We do a lot of picks …a LOT … but this one is SPECIAL!
For those that don’t know our history with Preservation Distillery and the unparalleled Marci, please know that she is the UNQUESTIONED Queen of bourbon. Having been a huge fan of hers for years, I told her that she’s the queen when I first met her in person. We went back and forth for hours trying to see who was a bigger fan of whose and I told her that regardless of that result, she would from then on be known as the Queen. Fast forward a few weeks and we did a (potentially first ever?) barrel pick of her 20 year old bourbon in the pumpkin bottle with her original labels from the 90s on them that we called Queen of Kentucky (special thanks to Kevin C for the assist on the name). When that bottle released and when people started to find out that I’ve nicknamed Marci THE QUEEN, that name just kinda stuck for her.
Marci is far too humble to admit that she’s wh***ey royalty but that’s exactly what she is and it’s about time the ENTIRE wh***ey community knows this!
It was only appropriate that we launch this new label with TWO private hand selected private barrels of a 19 year old and an 18.94 year old (thank you Kyle A Lloyd … I know for a fact that you’re the maniac that did 18.94 on this label, 😂).
Both are INSANELY limited. Both will be available on the site early next week. Don’t slide into the DMs unless you’re one the homies for the early access password 😂
Can’t wait to share these with you all and can’t wait for everyone else to see what I’ve known for ages - Marci is THE queen. It’s sure good to be the queen! Cheers all!
