Meaning its an export only product in general? If so why is that?

correct, only shipped outside of the US.

you would have to dive deep into the ownership of certain buffalo trace brands and come to your own conclusion. but i'll say this, Buffalo Trace does not own Blanton's, ETL, or RHF.

Picking up Willett 3 yr Rye today, interested to see how it compares to the 2 yr. The 2 yr was damn good, especially at the price point

I wouldnt assume this statement means its Wild Turkey bourbon. I read that as Jimmy Russell helped him out. It didnt say they gave him the whiskey.

I just dont trust these "craft" distillers too much. Lots of half-truths in the wordings of their ads and marketing material.

quote:

After working closely with Wild Turkey Bourbon
in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, he selected the perfect blend, which he recently
released under the label Charles Goodnight Kentucky Bourbon, in a nod to his
late ancestor.
“I worked with the distiller, tasted through some blends and a friend of mine
who’s very knowledgeable with bourbon helped me choose the right blend,”

One of the reviewers online that i follow gave the Dot Batch a pretty favorable review. I'm pretty sure I'm going to snag one this week too.

I know that you guys are going to be disappointed but I can't make it Thursday night either. I'm coaching my son's baseball team this summer and we have a game Thursday night.

I am trying to make it, work has me very busy and I have to go drive to Shreveport on Friday. The flip side, this would give me a couple of hours break...

The good thing about the Society is we are going to meet every month. So I you can't make it this month, come for the next one. We are definitely thrilled to meet all you guys, even if it's in July or August. It's looking like we will have a good group of people that night. Not the biggest number of people but a good gathering.
