Bourbon...

Yeah I know. But those fellows in Kentucky see differently.

The guys at High West have some good stuff too. Especially the Mid Winters Dram.
Well, I've had bourbon made in Japan that was every bit as good as anything I've had from Kentucky!

I have a bottle that's distilled locally that's fantastic! Irons One Distillery

If you find the right kind of liquor store it shouldn't be expensive.

Ummm...they maintain limited production to insure it receives top dollar. Most high end stores get no more than a few bottles, and most resort to “cracking” open the bottle upon purchase to insure the buyer can’t resell for a significantly higher price.

But if you’ve found a store that has defeated all those market pressures to maintain a reasonable price, then please PM me their name.....

All I know is - on April 15th I was snow blowing 18” of snow from my driveway. That’s about as southern as I get.

Actually - the guitar player in my country band owns and operates a micro distillery. His products will hang with anybody. Right now he’s aging a proofer Barrel (5 gallon) of bourbon that he had a local maple syrup maker rest a batch of maple syrup in. So, the sapper got a top flight batch of bourbon maple syrup ( seriously - if you get the chance, try that stuff!!!!) and in several months, I’ll be pulling the cork on the inaugural maple bourbon.

I prefer Kentucky bourbon, but I'm not afraid to venture out to other distillers such as Old Scout and Pinhook (although they are back in Kentucky 100% now).
When taste testing, or introducing someone to bourbon, I make sure they understand which in my collection is an actual Kentucky bourbon and which is not.
