    Freddie is the GOAT. Given a classic pour he was still the ultimate gentleman. He poured her glen first, then his own. The bourbon world is our hope for the future.

      You are 100 percent right. My wife and I live in pennsyltuckey in the Appalachian Mountains on the mountain side. No grass to mow just live among the trees. My wife of 52 years shares the same beauty . My grandchildren call me Opa and mom Oma. German for grandpa and grandma. Nothing like the country ways. From my great grandpa down we have been drinkin our own making. Mostly rye instead of corn. Like you have been all over and always come back. No place and nothing like coming back home. As soon as you start up our mountain it feels like the weight of the world has just been lifted off your back. Live on wild game. Deer, turkey, rabbit and squirrel and such for meat. Oma puts out a good garden and makes airtights to keep stuff for the winter. Have our own apple, cherry and pear trees. Our own blue and black berries. Everything we need. Wouldn't ever have to leave the place. Our own little country. Amen. Nothing like the old hillbilly way of life.

    Very very interesting video David is right The grains we grow are not the same as back then people don't realize also that the wood that they were using when they were aging the barrels back then had deeper tannins the wood was older well over a hundred years old but they have all been used through the Appalachian trail and you don't have any more old growth trees for making them great tasting barrels any longer😢
