Anyone tried their other bourbons? I’ve heard the others suck and the UCUF is the only one that is good.

That is not true. Their small batch is terrific.

They have a solid lineup, top to bottom.

Just read they are “out” of the amber bottles and will be distributing in clear bottles for the next several months.

First three pours have been ranch waters.

In-laws are at the house so I get to camp out in the garage with the PGA on the big screen and Astros on the small screen.

Small batch is very good for a 100 proofer, probably my favorite shelfie at that proof.

They have a very similar blending process for their small batch as their UCUF, it’s just proofed down to 100.

Good to hear.

I’m just busy killing bottles to open up some fresh stuff.

On to the second pour. I didn't expect it to be quite this complex. I really like the rye spice and am picking up all sorts of other stuff (oak, cherry, a little caramel,and mint) with each sip. The nose is pretty nice, but not indicative of the boldness of the palate.

I think I'll probably end up regretting only getting one. Looking forward to seeing how it opens up.

Buddy of mine got this bottle from his grandmother and is not a drinker. He’s asking me if it has any value but I really don’t know. Anyone know if it’s worth much if he wanted to sell it?
