Our review

Own a piece of our history! From the Vault, we have released a few bottles of Pack Leader Reserve ™ Batch 001. A 9 year old Bourbon that is not available anywhere, but here. Originally released 2018. Antique topper medallion. Original label design. Can you spot the differences? This is a truly special bottle and perfect for the Pack Leader in your life. Special offers not valid on this item. This item has complimentary shipping. Here's what the ABV Network had to say: The ABV Review - I knew Joe Lauren Luby before they ever had bourbon on the market. This is my saving grace here. This is hopefully why we will continue to be friends moving forward, but they are about to enter a different stratosphere with their latest offering and if I didn't know them "from way back when," they sure as heck wouldn't be returning my phone calls now that they have this offering in their portfolio. I love it when everything comes together with a brand. Their first two batch offerings of their flagship bourbon were amazing. Really solid bourbon offerings and you could see the commitment Joe and Lauren had to their brand when those two bourbons came out. This one, though... this is a whole new world... The last thing to note, before beginning the process of tasting, is the look. This covers everything from the bottle to what's inside. Again, Pack Leader Reserve hits every mark. The bottle is simply amazing. The cut of the bottle just feels good in your hand when you are pouring it. The hand numbering (I got bottle #200 of batch #1) is always a nice touch. The back label features a nice mountain scene and the toast, "For the love of dogs, bourbon and good times!" The top of the bottle's cork features a medallion with the Two Bitch logo. The bourbon itself is beautiful in color. Deep, orange in color reflecting its 9-years in the oak. Visually, this one hits every single mark. The second sensory experience in enjoying bourbon comes from nosing it. Once again, highest marks for this category. I want to live in a world that noses like this bourbon does. Brown sugar, orange, oak, baked goods, plum. Where in world do you ever get a plum note in a bourbon? It's there. It's so complex, you can pick up something different each time you tip your glass to your nose. The taste hits the tip of your tongue with a sweet caramel/toffee note that picks up some spice by the middle of your tongue. The 101+ proof then kicks in and it's going to heat up as you pick up notes of citrus, oak, cherry and baked goods. The finish leaves you nice and tingly. Perfection. Add this one to your collection while you can and enjoy bourbon how it was meant to be made! Colonel Steve Akley, The ABV Network Old dogs, good friends, cozy fires and a glass of Pack Leader Reserve™ create the perfect combination for making memories and sharing good times. Our Pack Leader Reserve™ is created from rare barrels of remarkable bourbon that stand out from the pack. Be remarkable and raise a glass in toast: For the Love of Dogs, Bourbon Good Times!
