If you get guys who know how to taste bourbon, the private picks can be outstanding and much different from the taste of same generic bottles on the shelf.
Let me know if you need help choosing some bottles there!  |
That's good to know. My local shop is bourbon-centric, where I got the Birthday Bourbon, and they have private select bottles on occasion.
Is it safe to assume that most privately picked bourbons sold in stores are barrel strength, or do some have it diluted as well? Or are they labeled as both?
