Quick weekend KY trip for a friends bday. Did the tour at castle and key, wild turkey, James e pepper, and the ghost tour at Buffalo Trace. Tasted:
C&K Gin/Vodka not bad just don’t like clear (they didn’t source, their bourbon is still aging, place looks amazing so much better than my last visit 1.5 years ago)
**** WT81 rye
**** WT81 bourbon
Longbranch too low proof for me
gave the American honey to a friends girlfriend. This tour was a let down and none of the Russell’s were present unfortunately. Looked at a still through a window and tasted the worst products from WT
At a bar had:
Boone county 12yr lion’s share pick - fantastic
Weller CYPB - not great not worth the money I prefer OWA107
King of Kentucky - fantastic drinks way under its proof of 130some
Tried a lot at James e pepper
10yr bourbon single barrel decent not worth 100 bucks
100 pf bourbon young
100 pf rye meh
Barrel proof 3yr rye prettt good maybe worth the money
Sherry finished rye - nicely done for a finish not overpowering but I’m so ducking over finishes
Almost got a pour of cream of Kentucky to determine I want to buy a bottle (158$ at my local) but they wanted **** 40 bucks for a pour I’ll just gamble on a bottle at that price. As usual spent way too much at the gift shpos.....
Bt ghost tour was... interesting... I think it was free or they forgot to charge us. Included tasting of Wheatley vodka gross (probably not bad for vodka I just **** hate vodka) white dog mash #2, old reliable Buff Trace, and older and more reliabler eagle rare. And. Most importantly bourbon cream plus root beer was a solid drink. Now I know what to do with all those cream liqueurs I have
