How the Name “Punk’d” Was Born

According to CABB’s Tim Holder, this barrel pick delivered one of the biggest surprises the admin team has experienced:

• The nose offered soft, subtle aromas—nothing overly bold.
• Then the palate hit like a freight train: a full-on explosion of rich flavor without bringing extra heat.
• The finish? Long, flavorful, and nothing like what the nose hinted at.

In other words: the team got punk’d.

The name became even more fitting when they realized the barrel had been filled on April 1, 2019—April Fool’s Day.
A perfect coincidence, and a perfect name.

CABB’s Continued Partnership With CrossRoads

CABB gives major credit to Brad and Tasha at CrossRoads Wine & Spirits for their continued support and collaboration. CrossRoads has quickly become one of the best partner stores in the region for club picks, exclusive allocations, and their popular in-store raffles.

This release also conveniently lines up with CrossRoads’ Friday raffle event, giving whiskey fans a great reason to stop in.

What to Expect in the Glass

While detailed tasting notes will roll in from members soon, early impressions from the admin team during the pick include:

• A deceptively soft nose
• A flavor-packed palate that hits instantly
• A long, satisfying finish
• Classic Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel richness amplified at 133.5 proof

Fans of JD Barrel Proof picks—especially recent club selections—will not want to miss this one.

Pickup Instructions & Notes

Buyers must pick up their bottle(s) at CrossRoads beginning on Friday, November 14th.
If you’re unable to pick up within the week, CABB asks that you pay online via the link in the IN post so CrossRoads isn’t stuck holding unpaid inventory.

This protects the partner store and ensures smooth operations—one reason CABB continues to secure high-quality barrels from major distilleries.
