WISCO BC – Event #9 2026 – May 19th, 2026 – Natty Oak’s – 45th Parallel Double Barrel Drop

Wisco Bourbon Presents: The 45th Parallel Double Barrel Drop!

Get ready for a high-proof takeover! Earlier this year, the Wisco Bourbon team and our guests headed up to New Richmond to samples some amazing barrel at 45th Parallel Distillery. After plenty of tasting and debate, we found two absolute “honey barrels” that were too good to leave behind.

Now, it’s time to unleash them. Join us for a double-header launch event where you can taste the results of our labor and secure these limited-edition bottles for your own shelf.

THE LINEUP

🔥 Border Bourbon 5-Year Single Barrel

• The Stats: 118.6 Proof | $54.99
• The Mash: 62% Corn, 14% Malted Barley, 12% Rye, 12% Wheat.
• The Vibe: This 4-grain beauty balances the spice of rye with the velvet finish of wheat. At nearly 119 proof, it’s a powerhouse of caramel, honey, and deep oak.

🌾 Red Fife 8-Year Single Barrel

• The Stats: 126.2 Proof | $62.99
• The Mash: 72% Heritage Red Fife Wheat, 14% Corn, 14% Malted Barley.
• The Vibe: A rare 8-year expression of 45th Parallel’s signature “ancient grain” whiskey. This is thick, oily, and complex, featuring big notes of baking spice and dark fruit at a massive cask strength.

EVENT DETAILS

• WHEN: Tuesday, May 19th | 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM
• WHERE: Natty Oaks (We’ll be outside soaking up the sun!)
• WEATHER PLAN: If the Wisconsin clouds don’t cooperate, find us downstairs in the Oaks Lounge.
• THE TASTING: Samples of both barrel picks will be flowing, and as a bonus, we’re opening up the entire core lineup from 45th Parallel for you to explore.

THE CATCH

These bottles are extremely limited. Once the event starts, they are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Whether you’re a wheat whiskey fanatic or a bourbon purist, you don’t want to miss these two unique expressions of Wisconsin craft.

Attendance is FREE. Come hang out, grab a pour, and take home a piece of the Wisco Bourbon collection!

By providing us this RSVP and selecting which bottle(s) you’d like, we will hold them until 7PM for you. Limit of up to 3 bottles of each selection can be held. Note – you will be purchasing the bottle(s) from Natty Oak’s, not Wisco Bourbon.
