Bottled without chill filtration at 120.8 proof, the bourbon has an SRP $89.99. It will be released initially to seven markets: Ohio, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, New York and Michigan. Just 3,060 bottles of Strength Bourbon Batch 002 will release to the public at the Watershed Distillery in Columbus, Oho, on Saturday, Sept. 18, followed by distribution.
