It is a limited seasonal release each spring and fall of Kentucky Bourbon handpicked by Gaffigan that puts the standard Celebrity spirit to shame both in his level of involvement and the resulting quality of the product. Each batch is released in standard proof (46.2% abv) as well as what he calls \"Empty Nester Strength\" (60.5% abv), for those who crave a little extra kick in the pants. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eWe are thrilled to be able to offer the latest limited batch, \"The Caboose\", and to host Jim Gaffigan for a tasting at our San Francisco Store on June 14 from 12:30-2:30 PM.
