I heard good things but didn't pick up a bottle. I think I'm only purchasing barrel proofers and limited editions for the foreseeable future. Trying to drink down my lower proof offerings to make space!

Nick, We received a heads up as you did I'm sure that B Red had a special going as this was just now entering our market ( only sold in St. Louis and Illinois ) and they were offering it up @ $25 / 750 ml (retail $40) so we thought what the hell....( picked up (2) )

Had a rocks glass last night and DID enjoy it.

From their website:

David Nicholson Reserve

An extra-aged ‘ryed’ bourbon that provides full-bodied flavor and a distinct, spicy taste.

Nose

Notes of honey and vanilla with smoky undertones.

Palate

The woody, smoky tones you expect, followed by an exceptionally smooth finish with undertones of oak and mild spice. @100 proof No word on exactly where it's distilled but the word is Heaven Hill

You can take it for a spin when we eventually get together to ash one :)

I'm sure your collection is Staggering!!!!

I'm glad they point out that it is not a wheater. I believe when Stitzel-Weller produced the brand it was one of their now infamous wheaters. Kind of limits the hype train. Good to hear it stands up on its own!

Crazy long weekend on the bourbon trail in Kentucky!

Thursday @ Four Roses:
7 recipes straight out of the barrel. I lost my tasting sheet =( We ended up picking an OBS? but it wasn't OBSK as that was not included in the tasting. Pretty good time, the tasting got me pretty drunk.

Friday @ Buffalo Trace
Ancient Ancient Age 10 Yr
Blanton's
Rock Hill Farm's
Elmer T Lee
My favorite was AAA10. The RHF was very oaky and astringent. Blanton's and ETL are still so good but AAA10 was just in a different league. The "Elmer T Lee" dinner was awesome. Harlen Wheatley and Kris Comstock spoke about working with Elmer. They played some videos from interviews. Elmer's grandson was in attendance. Food was good and food +booze was wellll worth the 65$ price tag. Wish I had gone to the Weller one last year.

Saturday @ Willett, Heavenhill, Barton1792
Old Bardstown BIB
Willett 15 yr FE Bourbon

EC small batch
EC18
Henry McKenna BIB
Pikesville Rye
25yo "Bad" Whiskey - Nose was one of the best I've smelled, disappointed from there. This was their example of overaged whiskey.

1792 small batch (seemed considerably less good than my older bottle of 1792 Ridgemont Reserve but hey who knows)
Very Old Barton 80 proof - yuck. I didn't realize there were 4 varieties of this. The 80 pf is aged 4 years the 86, 90 and 100 proof BIB are aged 6 years.

Sunday @ Bulleitt Experience @ Stitzel-Weller
Bulleitt
Bulleitt 10 (girlfriend's favorite)
IW Harper NAS - 80 proof garbage
Blade and Bow NAS - 4 grain whiskey by virtue of the old SW wheated stocks being mixed in via a solera system. Still tastes like ****. My whole group hated this more than even the 80 proof IW Harper.

Cool to see SW. Bulleitt/Diageo instead of taking a stab at recreating the magic, they're further multinational corporate ****-tizing the whole thing. They are training future production employees on the micro still here and experimenting. Didn't get to see as much of the grounds as I would've liked. None of the barrels in the warehouse on the tour had legible markings which makes me think they were dummy barrels for the tour. Pretty sure the gubmint has laws about barrel marking. Very cool being greeted at the gate by Carol Perry (employee for 46 years I believe he said)..

I bought a bar mat and tasting glass from every distillery. The woman got a candle and xmas tree ornament ;D

And I can't figure out which difference you're referring to!

Blanton's is expensive and OGD/BH are relatively cheap.

Blanton's is a lower rye mashbill than OGD/BH but is BT's High Rye mash.

OGD/BH are Beam Suntory and Blantons is BT?

OGD and BH are 80 proof and Blantons is 93?

IS BLANTONS EVEN THE NOT LIKE ONE?!?! HALP
