PATREON LIVE SUCCESS

We had a few audio gremlins early on (first-time Patreon LIVE jitters!), but once we got those sorted, the night was a blast. About 25 of you joined us to hang out, talk bourbon, and get a first look at the new Patreon tiers launching in the next week or so. Keep an eye on your inbox for those details.

We also gave away some great prizes. Congrats to our winners:

🥃 Mark Jones – ZBar Barrel Pick Bottle

🥃 Cam Shank – ZBar Quarter Zip

New Arrivals at BPL for Today's Event

Two brand-new ZBar picks landed at Barrel Proof late this week, just in time:

• Knob Creek Cask Strength Single Barrel Select "ZBar Crimson Cask" (127.5 proof). We took the extra step of hand-dipping these in commemorative ZBar blue wax, matching the hat I'm always wearing. They turned out great.

• Penelope Project X (110 proof), a straight bourbon finished in an Armagnac barrel, selected with Barrel Proof Liquors. Be on the lookout for the video where we selected this beauty.

Also new on the shelf: a Maker's Mark Private Selection single barrel, "Roadside Reserve," picked by Barrel Proof Liquors. Not a ZBar pick, but worth a look while you're there.
