JB Wagoner's Private Stash Unveiled
 Skyrocket Distillers LLC
| | First American Oak Barrel of JB Wagoner's Ultra Premium released. |
Temecula, CA - It's been nearly 10 years since JB Wagoner set out to create the first domestically produced "tequila" by planting agaves in the hills of Temecula, CA. Mexican authorities took umbrage when he tried to call his American version "Temequila", as a nod to its hometown, two years ago. The product was finally released as JB Wagoner's Ultra Premium 100% Blue Agave Spirits and has become a favorite of tequila aficianados who appreciate the beautiful bottle, surprising smoothness and undeniable 100 proof kick.
Today marks another first with the release of JB Wagoner's Private Stash. A portion of the best of the clear liquor have been allowed to rest in new American Oak casks. The liquor is an intriguing golden red-orange color with flavor akin to a fine cognac. Sweet, complex aromas fill every whiff.
Lucky Corks
Only 220 bottles from the first barrel will be produced. Each bottle is individually signed and number by JB Wagoner himself before being swaddled in a soft flannel blanket and packed in an aromatic cedar box branded with JB Wagoner's Private Stash logo. The bottle is fitted with a new synthetic cork which out performs natural cork at protecting the liquor without leaving a trace of anything.
As an incentive to get people to try the liquor instead of just collecting the package, several bottles have been fitted with a bright blue cork. People who find a blue cork bottle and register it with the company will receive a valuable prize from JB Wagoner's Private Stash of Gifts. The Stash includes things like Riedel Tequila Glasses, apparel, or invitations to star-studded events.
"We set-out just to see if it could be done. Now, after many years of work, we have something that can stand toe-to-toe with the worlds' best spirits. I am proud to have my name on the bottle," said JB Wagoner.

About Skyrocket Distillers LLC
Skyrocket Distillers LLC was inadvertently started when the company's founder, JB Wagoner, began growing agaves as an alternative to water hungry avocados, whose prices were being adversely affected by new NAFTA regulations. The distinctive red, white and blue bottle, with the prominent "Made in the USA" label, was designed to eliminate any question as to its country of origin.
