This is a very exciting moment for Beast Masters Club. It's our first private label release!

Meet Major Beaver Single Barrel Bourbon! We will be releasing five extremely special single barrels under the Major Beaver label. They are all insanely good, they are all cask strength beasts, they are all non-chill-filtered, twelve year old unadulterated Tennessee bourbon. Oh and did we mention they're ALL HAZMAT, going up into the stratosphere of high-proof bourbon flavor-bombdom!!?! These are all short barrels, (some extremely short!), produced by Thunder Road Distillery, the geniuses behind our original "Meltdown" Hazmat series from last year!

Legendary for his dog-fighting prowess, Major Beaver rules the skies in class. As the commander of Beaver Squadron, there's no mission too dangerous for these flying aces. Skip Beavington is dangerous, as his wingman Thelonious "Wide Hog" Hogsen will tell you. But when the chips are down, Major Beaver cashes in every time.

When we picked this first barrel, we were looking at the cask information with a quizzical look of disbelief. The sample registered at 148.6 proof. The highest proof of any whiskey barrel we'd ever sampled. (With the extra six months in the barrel it mellowed down to a cozy 147.1 proof). First of all, the sample was dark as midnight on a moonless night. There was so much char floating in it that we literally had to put the last inch through a coffee filter before drinking it.

The nose was just insane. "Bomber Jacket" was one of the our favorite notes, like your grandpa's old leather jacket, creacky oily leather. Wave after wave of dope-ness with massive chocolate, baking spices, caramel, cinnamon, pipe tobacco. Just one of the deepest most beautiful noses we've ever experienced. But could it taste good at this level of ABV-insanity?

Ben took the first sip and promptly declared "get the fuck out of here with that proof, there's no way!" And it was true, we all dove in and couldn't believe how smooth it was. Just thick oily chocolate madness that sticks to the tongue and leaves you with incredibly little burn, but a mouthful of sweets and spice, supernova level flavor bomb, really just a thing of legend. The finish is outrageously epic, with all the sweets, wood, spices, leather, and chocolate coming together for a completely unique and never-before-tasted type of experience.

We polled several of our faithful OG beast masters and asked if we'd be insane to put this out a barrel proof. Each and every one, independently of the others, said that they would cry themselves to sleep if we added water to this. It's just that good, a thing you have to try to believe. And try it you shall.

Proudly presenting the first barrel in our Major Beaver Single Barrel Bourbon Series "Major Beaver!"
