re: Whiskey/Bourbon/Scotch Volume III

How are they? I picked up a batch 25 recently and I really enjoy it. Best of the Barrell offerings that I’ve had.

I may stick to their batch offerings over their finished.

Did you see they announced Stellum? Seems like it’s going to be very similar to their batch offerings (blend of 4-16 year aged bourbon from Kentucky, Indiana, and Tennessee) but it’s going to be a consistent profile, rather than varied (like their Barrell batches). They are also going to have single barrel offerings (hopefully MGP or Kentucky, rather than Dickel).

As of now, I prefer the 27 over the 28. Not to say it's a bad pour, but that 27 has something of an orange marmalade/spearmint bright note on it that makes it a bit more unique. Almost like they put a little of that Armida in there. 28 is hard to pin down other than an upgraded Four Roses Small Batch Select. It may open up though, time will tell. I tested it with the 24 as well, which takes the 28 and cranks the depth of flavors way up. Id still pull for the 27 though.

No, I didn't see the stellum but i'll go do some research. Sounds like a good idea if they think theyve dialed in their non-finished Bourbon recipe.

I pre-ordered the seagrass and its expected to be in sometime later on this week. Love the brand, they're doing a hell of a job.

I didn’t buy one but had a few samples. That one got better with some air. Regret not grabbing one.

Fresh crack on a Knob Creek 12.

2pd. Fresh crack McKenna 10

Heading from New Orleans to Shreveport tomorrow, any places along the way or in Shreveport that I should stop by that have a good Bourbon selection?

Let me know what you are looking for baw.

Actually just traded it for a Widow Jane Lucky 13.

Now I need the WJ 12yr and 15yr.

There seems to be one in every liquor store here in GA, no one is ponying up the $200 for them though. I have a barrel pick 13yr, and it is good, but was less than $100
