Clueby Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 An ER10 bit the dust. Good thing I picked one up today. Actually this one probably wouldn't have been emptied tonight if I hadn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering to myself how the 'shelf' version, available at the gift shop, compares. Pricey; but I am considering scooping one anyway. Is the Heaven Hill gift shop part of the "Bourbon Heritage Center" or in the distillery itself? Are there 2 separate ones? Never been there. Does the Louisville Evan Williams Experience also have other Heaven Hill gift shop only bottles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Dusty Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 There are two gift shops. One at the BHC in Bardstown which is on the campus of the warehouse and bottling facility. The second (and newer one) is inside the EW Bourbon Experience on Whiskey Row in Louisville. The distillery (Bernheim) is out to the west of downtown in Shively. The gift shop only bottles can be found at both places but not always identical inventory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't opened mine yet, could you taste the gingerbread or cocoa? I can't even imagine what the gingerbread/cocoa beer would taste like.

I can't even imagine what the gingerbread/cocoa beer would taste like. I believe that Hardywood ages their Kentucky Christmas Morning (a Gingerbread Stout) in A Smith Bowman Barrels and then this release was finished in these barrels after the beer was bottled. So the Gingerbread was from the beer previously aged in the barrels, but I think that the cocoa in the name was just based on a tasting note. This was one that I was bummed to have missed out on (couldn't make it to the distillery that day and I lost out on the lottery). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't even imagine what the gingerbread/cocoa beer would taste like. So this one is kind of hard to explain. It's weird at first. You kind of regret buying it.....but keep drinking......let it get some air. By glass two it starts to get really good and hard to put down. The cocoa taste I would describe as very similar to the "delicate chocolate" flavors I get from Weller 12 and more so from Van Winkle Lot B 12yr. The "gingerbread" comes through as a gentle but firm spice that chases the chocolate across your tongue and down your throat. Shamefully I drank this bottle in about 3 sittings. Just couldn't put the darn thing down once I got going. It was so darn good to me. Also, its only a 375ml.... Luckily I have another one stashed away for winter next year.

Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk Yes, agreed. I found it humorous that when the bottle was about half full, it looked like he was wading in a bourbon pond up to his knees!
