My guy who wheels and deals in Bourbon and has a lot of secondary market connections might have a lead on a few BT O.F.C. bottles. What you gurus hearing about that bottle?

Especially for the wife. I don’t really drink wine but they put together a basket for my wife from the Wagner family that she was really excited about.

That’s what I paid for my two bottles. Bought them in Covington around the same time. Next pour up...

Anyone tried this set from Jefferson's? Each bottle experiments with different types of wood.

Ok, a little side chat....

What bottles have the best curb appeal and the worst curb appeal?

I’m not sure about best but I do know McKenna has the worst looking label and name. The first time I saw it, I thought it was an Irish Whiskey because of its name and green & gold label.

For the best I would have to say WLW. It’s just a beautiful bottle and label.

If Blanton’s was in a regular bottle, you’d be able to get it at Wal-Mart.

For curb appeal, the Michter’s 10 years plus are beautiful bottles.

Was having Christmas Eve lunch out with the family when I saw the bartender stock a brand new GTS on the shelf. I've never had it before and figured I'd celebrate a fantasy football victory with my first ever pour of Stagg. I can now see what all the hype is about. It's a new favorite for sure considering I've never had a BTAC or Pappy, etc before. The bartender gave a very generous 1.5 ounce pour to make it even better.
