Release of New Ranger Creek Texas Bourbon Almost Here

Weary shoppers and turkey-stuffed families will have something to look forward to this Black Friday.  The collector’s item release that Ranger Creek announced in September called .36 Texas Bourbon will finally be available.  Less than 1,000 bottles of this collector’s item release was made, and the distillery release of this special whiskey is set for the Friday after Thanksgiving.

.36 Texas Bourbon is Ranger Creek’s everyday straight bourbon and will be a year-round release starting in April of 2017.  It was aged for a minimum of two years with a suggested retail price between $55-60.  This collector’s item release is the first small batch run of 900 bottles.  Unlike the year-round release, each bottle will be hand numbered to identify them as the first batch ever made of this whiskey.

This bourbon follows Ranger Creek’s Small Caliber Series and Single Barrel as the third release of their fascinating barrel aging experiment.  Though each .36 bourbon uses the same recipe, the individualized barrel aging techniques makes each one distinct. .36 Small Caliber Series is a small batch bourbon aged in innovative small barrels and packaged in small 375 ml bottles. .36 Single Barrel is aged in one hand selected, large barrel and is packaged in traditional 750 ml bottles.  This .36 Texas Bourbon is a small batch bourbon aged in traditional large barrels and packaged in 750 ml bottles.  The different releases allow enthusiasts to try the .36 bourbons alongside each other to taste subtle differences and similarities.

On Friday, November 25 Ranger Creek will throw a release party and bottle pickup from 5:00-9:00 pm at their “brewstillery” (4834 Whirlwind Dr, 78217).  The release party is open to the public and will feature the new bourbon by the glass.  No RSVP is required to attend the party.  However, RSVP is required for bottle pickup. RSVP seats are available for $55 with a limit of 2 per person.  Only 300 seats will be available.  Those that RSVP will be able to pick up their bottle(s) at the event.  RSVP is available at drinkrangercreek.com.
