This. I've had a 10, 11 and 12 bourbon and the 4 and 5 year ryes. Willett and Smooth Ambler barrel selects are hot right now b/c they have very knowledgable guys picking their barrels from other places. Both distilleries are also moving in the direction of their own products, though, so many of these picks are gonna be limited in the long term which I think is a large reason people are going nuts for them. Both are upfront with the fact that they're just picking these from other places, heck, Smooth Ambler even puts it in the name Old Scout. I haven't had a bad bottle of either one yet, so I'm digging it all.

I'm also looking forward to their own products. Willett recently released the first of their own rye as a 2 year which is great stuff if you can find it. Smooth Ambler hasn't put their own out yet and hasn't said what it'll be called, but it's going to be under a different name than Old Scout so it'll be easy to tell the difference.

That's good intel on the Masterson's. You're making me want to go back and buy more of the Willett.

Edit - SOLD OUT

Will do Doc. My guy emailed the distributor about his allocation today. The POH is still on the shelves around here so I'll take that to mean there is plenty to go around.

Thanks guys. I saw an August release date for ECSB 23. Is that out yet? Available in this area? Decently priced?
