    Totally agree on Kentucky Spirit. So good, and so underrated.

    I purchased many different Pappy bourbons from Liquor Barn into the early 2000’s and still have an unopened bottle signed by Julian Van Winkle when he was at LB promoting the brand in 1999. Those were the days. JTS Brown is a great nutty pour for the money. In recent years, I was just excited to be able to buy a case of Buffalo Trace as we give a lot away as gifts and keep it in our decanter. Looks like you had a good time. Cheers!

    You guys were being WAY to kind to the pricing in Justin's House of Bourbon. I call it "Justin's House of Bourbon Gouging". Don't pay $100 for a JD SBBP Rye. Those are $70 bottles of fairly available whiskey.

      Almost nowhere to be found here in Louisville. Might be available in your area, but I've lived here in Louisville almost 2 years and didn't see a regular sized JDSiBBP until this past weekend.

    Oh my! You were only a few blocks away from RD1 and James Pepper when you left Justin’s HOB. And for the record, the James E Pepper decanter bottle is possibly the best value pick-up of 2023. It’s so damn good, and at $65, a great value in my opinion.

    “Oh literally nothing.”
    Y’all totally passed Old Louisville UCUF Cask Strength at that last Liquor Barn.
    Old Louisville Batch 1.
    Uncut, non-chill filtered. 8 year MGP. 114 p.
    Those old fashioned wax paper wrapped chewy caramels, creme brûlée, baking spices, red apple, milk chocolate, toasted pecan praline.
    Probably top 3 bottle I’ve ever tried. Not kidding.

    Taking notes for my next trip to KY. Was just there in Nov '23 and was more of a distillery trip and not much of a hunting trip. Definetely need to add a few stops next time!!

    Was just in Louisville over NYE and visited Bardstown. Too much of an Apple Store vibe in there but the people were nice and it is the easiest shopping experience for a distillery in downtown. I only picked up a hat since everything else was pretty available at stores where I can earn loyalty rewards.

    I'd be disheartened to have to pay $50 for a rideshare to Wild Turkey just to see all they have available is regular WT stuff I can get anywhere. And yes, I'd have to pay another $50 to get back home.
