Local liquor store, Big Red Liquors, sent an email out to enter into a drawing for a seat on their bus for a trip to buffalo trace distillery. I won a spot woo!

Never been to BT. We are going to do the hard hat tour and sample the candidate private barrels that Big Red be trying to buy. I'm pretty damn stoked. Assuming the gift shop is cleared out of anything cool this time of year but still pretty excited.

The hell with the gift shop! Ask for a "thief" sample directly from the barrel itself! Or is that offered as part of the tour?

Got the scoop this morning. We are selecting four bt single barrels to be bottled as 1.75s. The eagle rare and blantons selection is later in the year. Fingers crossed for a spot on that trip too! We'll be sampling at barrel proof, but not sure if it will be bottle a bp or proofed down to the normal 90.

Ended up picking 5 of 12 bt barrels. Tasted at barrel proof but will be proofed down to 90 for bottling. to be bottled as 1.75s at 50 bucks a pop. Hardhat tour is very similar to the one i did at beam. Solid free lunch at the firehouse too. Pretty good day!

Any chance of getting to Bardstown?? If so, go to that restaurant I told you about, Kreso's. Plenty of pappy when I was there.
