Announcing the 2019 Bourbon County Stout variants, a thread. 1/11 
This year’s BCS was aged in a mix of Heaven Hill, Buffalo Trace, and Wild Turkey barrels. Flavors of cocoa, fudge, vanilla, caramel, almond, plus leather and tobacco, permeate this beer. We’ve bottled BCS for 15 years, and this year’s vintage is one to cellar. 2/11
Wheatwine, the @FOBABofficial award-winning variant, returns. This year Wheatwine was aged 100% in Larceny wheated bourbon casks, resulting in a softer flavor profile, full of caramel, vanilla, butterscotch, and toffee flavors, while carrying the nuances of the barrels. 3/11
@FOBABofficial Our Reserve series shows how a premium single source bourbon barrel can influence our original BCS. The 2019 Reserve Rye was aged in 100% Rittenhouse Rye barrels, imparting fruit and spice flavors. Reserve Rye accentuates all that makes Rittenhouse and Bourbon County unique. 4/11
@FOBABofficial 2-Year Reserve Bourbon County Stout was aged 24 months in 11-year-old 25th Anniversary Knob Creek barrels. The barrels delivered an oak-forward intensity accented with subtle hazelnut and chocolate notes that complimented the flavors inherent in Original BCS. 5/11
@FOBABofficial Created with our neighbors, @Intelligentsia, Café de Olla is inspired by the traditional Mexican beverage. We added coffee beans and cold brew coffee to Original BCS and then enhanced this beer further by adding cassia bark, orange peel, and panela sugar. 6/11
@FOBABofficial @Intelligentsia Mon Chéri is made with Balaton and Montmorency cherries, oats, and a dash of brown sugar. The interplay of these ingredients creates aromas of amaretto and almond. With each sip you’ll instantly be reminded of cherry cobbler. 7/11
@FOBABofficial @Intelligentsia 2019 Proprietor’s Bourbon County Stout is an homage to some of the most beloved ingredients from Bourbon County variants of years past. Toasted pecans, coconut, cocoa, and vanilla mingle together to create flavors reminiscent of Tiramisu. 8/11
@FOBABofficial @Intelligentsia This year, we are proud to offer the Bourbon County Stout Vertical Collection. This is an opportunity for beer lovers to enhance their understanding of how Bourbon County develops over time by tasting vintages of 2017, 2018, and 2019 side by side. 9/11
@FOBABofficial @Intelligentsia Bourbon County Double Barrel Stout was first aged 12 months in 11-year-old Elijah Craig barrels, then transferred to fresh 12-year-old Elijah Craig barrels to age for another year. The result is a stout like no other. 10/11
