Memory Garden is emo-adjacent power pop from Chicago.

Afloat's live set captures so much emotion and energy. With a new release that they will be playing, they are thrilled to hit the road and share their new songs.

One Armed Boxer is Chicagoish Emoish heavy something or other.

Background Character refuses to pick a genre - they draw influence from jazz, R&B, death metal, math rock, ska punk, hyperpop, and more.

Very Olde St. Nick Superfreak 11+ Year Kentucky Bourbon is an extremely limited small-batch release from Preservation Distillery, known for bottling rare, older Kentucky stocks. This edition is built from a blend of two 11-year-old Kentucky bourbons combined with a deeply matured 18-year-old barrel, which contributes to the whiskey’s dense, concentrated character. The mingling of these older components creates a profile far richer than typical 11-year offerings. Bottled at 116.2 proof, Superfreak is designed to deliver layered depth, warm spice, and a bold, full-bodied structure while retaining the hallmark smoothness of long-aged Kentucky bourbon.

TASTING NOTES

Nose: Dark caramel, toasted pecan, baked fruit, oak char, and subtle candy-like sweetness.

Palate: Full-bodied and warming with burnt orange, root beer, to***co leaf, dark fruit, and robust oak spice.

Finish: Long, rich, and powerful with lingering leather, dark chocolate, candied nuts, and deeply toasted oak.

WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL

Crafted from a rare blend of two 11-year bourbons and one intensely aged 18-year barrel
A unique “11+ year” age profile that drinks significantly older due to the 18-year component
Bottled at a potent 116.2 proof for maximum flavor impact and structure
Extremely limited production with strong desirability among collectors
Released under the Very Olde St. Nick label, known for curating exceptional older Kentucky whiskey stocks
