Just tried these 2 side by side, blind

Willet won. It was a little more complex and nuanced. Knob was big on spice and kind of a brute in comparison. Both really good. Willett hides the 126 proof well...

Wick - I grabbed one of those KC SiB 115 proof rye store picks from a place up in Chicago and it’s phenomenal. Beat my Kentuck Owl batch 1 in a blind side by side. Let me know how that one is...

That looked incredible. Can't wait to be at the next one.
Has anyone seen Rebel Yell 10 year SiB around Nola? Trying to figure out if it's hit yet....

Glad you enjoyed it, sir. I haven't tried yours, but yeah, that would be great.
And thanks again for that last sample. Me and some friends had an epic tasting with it.

TA, what proof is your Elliot's? And what's the other info on the front? Just curious. Trying to pin down the location.
Here's mine (which I really like):

On their menu it's called Cecil's Cocktial.
It's sort of got an iced tea kind of theme, but it's pretty much like the perfect balance. I was looking for a bourbon cocktail that wasn't all booze, like a Manhattan or an Old Fashioned.
This one doesn't taste strong, but it'll sneak up on you. It'...

TA, I actually had some of that Cork & Keg last night, too.
Hey, what did you think of Jamie's new SAOS pick? The 10 year 101.4. Man, I think it's delicious. I had it side by side with another one of Jamie's 10 years, a 102 proof from earlier this year. The new one was much better. And the older...

Elliot's is probably my favorite bourbon I've tasted. Sweet on the front end with no spice, then medium spice on the finish. So there's 2 distinct parts to it, which I like.
Ezra B. 12 was okay. Not gonna go out of my way to get one....
