Bulleit’s Stitzel-Weller Distillery Offered As X-Mas Gift
Bulleit’s Louisville, Kentucky-based Stitzel-Weller Distillery can be all yours – or purchased as a Christmas gift for somebody – this holiday season. The upscale Neiman-Marcus catalog is offering the bourbon distillery as a “Fantasy Gift” in its annual Christmas Book of high-end giftery [see link below]. The gift is actually part of Bulleit’s Orphan Barrel project.
The Orphan Barrel project was started to share long-forgotten barrels of rare whiskey discovered in old rickhouses and distilleries. Each release is hand-bottled — and once they’re gone, they’re gone forever and as part of this “Fantasy Gift”, Bulleit will offer you and five of your “bourbon-curious friends” the opportunity to visit the Stitzel-Weller Distillery in Louisville, go barrel hunting, taste recently discovered bourbons, and create two completely unique Orphan Barrel variants to be hand-bottled with labels designed exclusively for you. You’ll then receive 24 bottles each of Old Blowhard 26 y.o., Lost Prophet 22 y.o., Rhetoric 21 y.o. and 20 y.o., Barterhouse 20 y.o., Forged Oak 15 y.o., and the two variants created by you — along with a custom whiskey cabinet crafted in Kentucky to house the collection, barware, and a leather-bound book about your whiskey.
The “Fantasy Gift” is available for $125,000 and includes a three-night trip for six to Louisville, including luxury accommodations, private ground transport, VIP distillery tour and tasting, meals, and activities.
