CROWNING GLORY
Crown is releasing its first single barrel whisky exclusively in Texas!
COST: 750 mL, $55

For the first time in its 75-year history, legendary Canadian Whisky brand Crown Royal will offer only Texas consumers the opportunity to savor the root of Crown Royal’s signature smoothness, the unique Coffey Rye whisky, bottled straight from the barrel.

An exceptionally smooth blend balanced by creamy and fruity notes of banana and rich oak undertones from maturing in new American wood resulting in a long lasting and expansive finish.  The aromas are rich and robust on the nose with slight hints of vanilla and fruit.

AT SECOND BLUSH
Founders Brewing Co. will re-release Blushing Monk, a decadent Belgian raspberry ale, in March 2015 to mark the twelfth installment in the brewery’s popular Backstage Series.

Blushing Monk (9.2% ABV) will be sold in 750mL bottles, with a suggested retail price of $16.99 per bottle.
