  1. Just don’t call it bourbon while taking their tour. Technically it is, but them’s fightin’ words in Lincoln county!
  2. I heard that on a local (Nashville) TV news broadcast. Perhaps I mis-heard or they mis-reported, who knows. And yes, I’m new. Sue me.
  3. Not just some other person, they were friends. Saw this on local news over the weekend and wondered how long it would take to show up here.
  4. Google search confirms this.
  5. Been there, done that. They have some good stuff, but I'm not a fan of the charcoal filtering in general. Takes too much of the flavor wrinkles out, IMHO. Recently bought a bottle of a new local distiller, Daddy Rack. I'm not sure I could pick it apart from standard JD in a blind taste test. Not in a bad way, just identical to my palate. Weekend getaways to the Kentucky Bourbon Trail are more my thing. Oh, and thanks for the reply. I am more than a bit jealous of your collection!
  6. I'm not terribly picky, as long as it isn't Dickel. That multivitamin aftertaste is disgusting. And that is especially sad for me, because I drive within 2 miles of their distillery a couple of times a month and could pop in for special releases, etc. My wife came back from Colorado last year with something from Breckenridge Distillery, I was all excited until I tasted it. Obvious Dickel juice. I'm usually searching for the value/bang for the buck picks. Rarely buy a bottle over $60, and will regularly pay half that for quality stuff (OGC 114, EW BIB, etc.). Recently made a run up into KY to buy some KY only releases, and was very impressed with Old Bardstown BIB, unique flavor considering I had never tried a Willett product before. Apparently I'm a fan. Anything out of the Buffalo Trace lines is my wheelhouse that most new ones are judged up against. The hunt for something hard to come by without breaking the bank is almost as fun as the pour. Almost. Oh, and as for shipping? Negative, Ghost Rider.
  7. Long time lurker, finally registered and ponied up the treefiddy to escape the God-awful pop-ups. I wanted my first post to be in this thread, for symbolic reasons. I have made many a purchase based on reviews on this thread the last few years. I look forward to contributing my own moving forward. Now, back to the brown water.
