Not up to Chief standards
I ordered two bottles. A 101 proof and a barrel proof. They both arrived safe and sound. I opened the box and found the barrel proof bottles label was creased in half in the back. The 101 proof bottle when I opened it the top of the cork broke off and I had to get a pair of plyers to open the bottle. Not the kind of service I expected for $165 dollars worth of bourbon that I had expected to gift to fellow Chief Petty Officers. Disappointing for a CPO owned company.

Hi Greg, We’re truly sorry to hear about this experience. That’s not the standard we hold ourselves to, and it’s especially disappointing knowing these bottles were intended as a gift to fellow Chief Petty Officers. Damaged labels and a faulty cork should never make it out the door, and we take full responsibility for that miss. Our team will be reaching out to you directly via email to make this right and send replacement bottles that reflect the quality and care you should have received from the start. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and for holding us to a higher standard. Thank you for the honest feedback.
