Ya know that guy who constantly drones on about how cool something is, when he knows you can’t experience it yourself? Yah, that guy sucks. We've talked about Texas whiskey more times than I can remember. Last summer I realized that we’re dangerously close to becoming that sucky guy - rambling about Texas whiskey while you just sit there and shrug.

We've talked about Texas whiskey more times than I can remember. Last summer I realized that we’re dangerously close to becoming that sucky guy - rambling about Texas whiskey while you just sit there and shrug.
I could blame the dusty corporate interests and restrictions for keeping most of it off of your shelf - but we can’t put an excuse in your glass.
So here’s what we did.
- Contact 12 whiskey makers in Texas. DONE.
- Convince them to send us a single barrel that they’re proud of. DONE.
- Bottle 50ml samples of each single barrel. DONE.
- Put all 12 samples in a one JANKY box in time for the holidays. DONE.
- Offer it to (most) U.S. states through SharedPour’s website. DONE.
This is your chance to experience a snapshot of the Texas whiskey scene in your glass, MB. The supply is limited for obvious reasons, so grab it while you can.
Worst-case scenario? You get a deeper understanding of what Texas whiskey makers are doing across a dozen unique samples, and move on.
Best case? You discover a new favorite whiskey and rage at how hard it is to find again… or is that another worst-case?
If you live in one of the states SharedPour can ship to (not Texas), you can purchase the 12 Days of Texas Whiskey presale from them.
If you live in Texas and are going to pick it up (or have it picked up) at the distillery, buy it from Crowded Barrel.
Cheers Y’all,

YOU MEME THE WORLD TO ME
THE VAULT OF TRIBES
Check Out This Past Week's Videos From Our YouTube Channels Whiskey Tribe and Whiskey Vault.
In this video, Rex and Daniel talk about The Whiskey Tribe - a big, salty and ridiculous community of whisk(e)y loving MB's. They've raised a whiskey freak-flag...
Is your inner bastard Magnificent enough to salute?
Hold your cigar more comfortably and enjoy it a little longer, down to the nub, than you normally would be able with this Crowded Barrel cigar pick or "nubber." At 4" long, it's just the right length to keep a Magnificent Bastard's stubby fingers from getting burned.
Free shipping for magnificent bastards in the contiguous US who spend $70 or more!
