    Just picked up one of these a couple of weeks ago for retail ($49). Really a nice pour. Taste a little younger than Rare Breed but a nice alternative to it. Would also hold up well in a cocktail if you wanted a higher proof mixer without breaking the bank.

      The single barrels are some of the best picks being released right now IMO. We are heading down to Green River in August to pick one for our Patreon and I couldn’t be more excited!

    Great review! So educational for me. I have just opened this and see much of what you talk about. I have a single barrel from them and really find it has a deeper profile with a wonderful mouthfeel.

    You and the Bourbon Junkies are 2 different channels. You are more of a informative type and they are more entertainment. I like both formats. So I'm glad you picked this up to give us more info on it.

      @@DrumsAndDrams she's the Fraizer to your Ali. The Steven A, to your Skip Bayless. I love this as an everyday bottle, flavor profile falls some where between Four Roses OESO and EHT SiB for me. Obviously a bit younger.

    $54.95 + tax here in N.C. Haven't opened yet, really expecting it to be a great pour. See how it lands with similar + 50 $ bottles from other distilleries.

    Unfortunately it was way too hot for me. And even with a lot of ice it just burnt my tongue and the only way I can see it in my collection is to add it to some of my “ too low proof “ to appreciate.

      @BuffaloBourbonEnthusiasts 2 місяці тому

      Unfortunately, I agree with you. A subscriber gave me a sample and I thought it was ok. It was hot for the proof point and that heat overshadowed the flavors for me. Maybe if have a ton of bottles already, then I would purchase it. It is nothing that I would choose as a pour, but I wouldn't refuse it if someone offered me a pour of it.

    Hey Cam, like the quality of your cinematography. What camera 🎥 and mic 🎙️ do you use ?
    Starting Pod here in Louisiana and looking for some advice equipment wise. Thanks
    Also love the Green River FP and the FP picks, we did a pick at the New Orleans Bourbon Festival with GR. Great people!!!

    I get a slight plastic note from all of their stuff but especially this one. It’s hard for me to get past. I think it’s where the tropical notes and the grapefruit ones come together.

      That’s interesting! I will say the picks I’ve had from GR have ranged quite a bit, but I’d still prefer them over the FP shelfer. Either way, both are ridiculously good values!
