Gawdayum! If The Butterfly wasn't enough for you, here's part two of what may be the most outrageous drop in Beast Masters Club history. Our 2020 run of Wild Turkey barrels seriously just keeps getting better and better! Get ready for number three in our four-part Pickly lineup!!

By now Pickly is a well established heavyweight champion with ten defenses under his belt. But there's a problem - this gherkin has gotten cocky. And here comes Beaver Lang, a vicious young upstart with something to prove.

For the last two Pickly releases, we have to sister barrels from Warehouse A, 20-0354 and 20-0355. Literally sister barrels, from the same batch that grew up right next to each other. Hey, when you find something this good, you get as much of it as you can. Immediately, out of around a dozen barrels, these two stood out as our favorites. We called them "The Tobacco Sisters" because they have the most intense cigar-store nose we've ever experienced. The aroma goes goes so deep on maduro cigars, that deep dark rich tobacco leaf smell that takes you right into a deep old broken-in leather chair with a massive crystal ashtray next to it, plumes of smoke in the air, and a little three-piece jazz band playing in the corner.

The palate is wonderfully crisp and rich, damn it's just "drink-all-day-all-over-again." The huge cigar nose continues on your tongue and then come some heavy spices - black pepper, vanilla, cinnamon, loads of big heavy sweet wood char, some beautiful buttery cream, brown sugar, and deep rich brown goodness. The finish is lovely and lingering mixing in some tart cherry notes with the big tobacco, richness, and sweets. And it goes on for miles.

Is our champ ready for a come-back? Don't miss the fight of the century, Pickly III!
