I've had two pints (I appreciate when a more expensive whisky is available in smaller bottles - it makes it possible for me to have it 🙂) of SBBP (both apparently from the same barrel, since they were both 128.2 proof) and it was gorgeous. I love it to death. How many miles do all those steps translate to? 6:19 George Dickel bourbon proves that Tennessee whisky is a variety of bourbon. The only difference between Dickel bourbon and Dickel Tennessee whisky is the name (and the taste - the bourbon is awful). They don't do a single thing different until bottling time. And then there's Benjamin Prichard, which does *not* use the Lincoln County process but is legally Tennessee whisky. 10:28 The main note I got on the nose was a delightful smoke. 14:01 If a barrel is 55 gallons, it'll yield 277.596864 bottles at 750ml each (I used a measurement converter and a calculator to arrive at that figure). But the angels share will greatly reduce the amount of whiskey in the barrel, and thus the number of bottles. If half the whisky has evaporated - a not unusual occurrence - the number of bottles would go down to 138.798432. I'm not sure I entirely trust those numbers - I may have done something wrong somewhere in the math. 18:13 I *love* JD SBBP. It's as much different from Jack black as bourbon is from tepid water. 31:17 Don't forget the finger stir! 😃 You forgot the finger stir. 😢 33:04 When my wife and I sneeze we blow the walls out. But my granddaughter sneezes quick and quiet, like a cat. 🙂 34:55 Jack black is barely whisky.
12,000 steps is about 7 miles. So yeah, I got a little exercise, and to be honest, a little chaffed. 😆 I would imagine that that yield for single barrels is varied. How much did the wood soak up, how much was lost to the “angel’s share”, etc. The standard bourbon barrel is actually 53 gallons, according to Alexa. Normally when I sneeze, the Chinese can hear it in Shanghai! I kept it on the DL as best I could, but when the live stream ended I think I might have cause some structural damage in the bourbcave. 🤣🤣🤣

barrels are 53 gallons
Thanks. I had a brain fart and couldn’t remember.
