Any Bourbon drinkers out there?
I've heard some good things about Buffalo Trace Bourbon.
http://www.buffalotrace.com/ Can't get it up here north of the border but, through a wine distributer I am able to order a case. Would like to hear from someone who knows their stuff and has tried it before I order. Thanks |

I got one of those mini casks as an early Father’s Day present. I did the Kentucky bourbon mix, 750ml moonshine, and for something extra I dropped some orange biters and a brown sugar cube in the oak barrel. We’ll see now it turns out in the next few weeks.
Side note I was surprised to read how much faster it ages in the small barrels, but it definitely makes sense since more of it is exposed to the charred oak.

Ezra is a fine one to reacquaint yourself with. I’ve recently become charmed by a sly fox called Old Tub. Was located behind the counter and only $20. Clerk tells me it was the mash bill for the original Jack Daniels. Had an interesting cinnamon note.

Either the clerk is full of shit or your "that"guy who repeats but changes the story to what they want it to be.
I was introduced to this bourbon over 20 years ago by Booker Noe. Google it. OLD TUB KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON 375ML $15.95 Kentucky- Called Old Tub as a nod to the Beam legacy. The liquid we know today as Jim Beam Bourbon got its start as Old Tub Bourbon, a creation of Jacob Beam in 1795. 100 Proof and aged 4 years. Only available in the state of Kentucky. "Old Tub is a bottled-in-bond, four year old bourbon you can only pick up at the Beam American Stillhouse, which is the Jim Beam distillery’s uber-vistior experience in the rolling foothills of Clermont, Kentucky." recent (Jun 23, 2020, 09:00 ET) release from Beam-Suntory https://www.prnewswire.com/news-rele...301081146.html Old Tub Bourbon (image via Beam-Suntory) “We’re taking bourbon lovers back in time and making a delicious bourbon true to the way my ancestors intended over 140 years ago, when Old Tub was first crafted,” said Fred Noe, seventh generation master distiller at Jim Beam, in a prepared statement. “I’m excited to share this one-of-a-kind liquid with our fans and provide a bit of authenticity and nostalgia as we head towards another 225 years in the bourbon industry. This bourbon, bottled in bond at 100 proof, “is best enjoyed neat or in classic cocktails like an Old Fashioned or a Brown Derby, which includes bourbon, grapefruit juice and honey syrup.” It will be available for a limited time at select retailers nationwide starting this month for around $23 per 750 ml bottle. Official tasting notes for Old Tub suggest a bourbon that is “reminiscent of golden citrine gemstones with shades of honey and has initial waves of oak, followed by ribbons of vanilla and grain. Its robust oaky notes are complimented by hints of grain and warm caramel, with a full-bodied clean finish and lingering warmth.”

This is the new whiskey the clerk either was telling you about or was confused by (one or both of you) Insert Jack Daniels anywhere you want.......
This is what the company is allowed to say after the lawyers ripped them a new asshole. "Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey is inspired by the best whiskey-maker the world never knew, the first known African-American master distiller, Nathan “Nearest” Green. The Uncle Nearest brand, wholly owned by Uncle Nearest, Inc., an all minority-led business, encompasses a premium aged whiskey with a blend of 8- to 14- year old, an 11-year-old minimum age single barrel, and a 7-year-old small batch offering, all mellowed using the Lincoln County Process, a unique filtering of bourbon through sugar maple charcoal. This process has been confirmed to have been brought to Tennessee by enslaved people and taught by Nearest Green to the most famous Tennessee Whiskey maker of all time. Uncle Nearest is distilled, aged, bottled and hand-labeled in Tennessee." That is what they want you to believe but I know this much is true. "True history is Dan Call was a Whiskey Maker who inherited his father's still. Dan Call father was Joseph Call from North Carolina, but moved to Lynchburg,TN in 1822 where he continue to make whiskey, a Family Trait from North Carolina. You can verify this by contacting the Call Family Distillery that is in operation in North Carolina. Dan Call taught Nearest Green how to make whiskey who Jack Daniel worked with. Fawn Weaver has done nothing but twist the True History. But like I said before, contact The Call Family Distillery and they will give you the truth." So... is the Clerk "that Guy" or is it you? The stories fabricated/ twisted/spun by Fawn Walker are interesting fiction but IMHO all booze awards are bought by the highest winner. After all how can a company sell aged whiskey when there was no company when the whiskey was made?
