Anyone try the most recent Bardstown Discovery? It’s getting rave reviews

I can see why this is a hard bottle to find. To me, it tastes like a stronger Buffalo Trace even though it comes from Heaven Hill. There is a little bitterness on the finish, but its not too bad.

Picked up a couple of bottles for some time up in Tennessee. Booker’s Mighty Fine Batch (and it is), and a store pick of one of the best bourbons out there, Garrison Brothers. Just under $300 all in, and the Booker’s might have been worth that alone

These are usually a bit different from batch to batch. Some better than others. Not worth the $100 they ask nowadays. Was decent deal at $49-59

How is the flavor profile vs the Storyteller?

I actually prefer this one, but my palate can’t do flavor profiles I’m afraid, never have been able to. I think I honestly lack the imagination

Honestly most bourbon is so close in flavor it usually ends up as some permutation of: brown sugar, vanilla, oak. Add cinnamon/cloves if it's rye-heavy. Once in a while I may throw in a fruit like cherry or orange but I think I'm just making it up at that point

Glad to hear I'm not the only one!

1792 full proof barrel pick for a wind-down after a weekend i prefer not to repeat.

Like this. Like the guys that own it. They had a nationally-known barrel select club before getting a chance to buy the distillery out of Ch. 11. I still have two single barrels chilling in their warehouse in Sandy Springs.

Got this on a @bourbonbasted rec. I like.

@gnatty8 I assume you break your “weekends only” rule when on vacation up in the Smokey Mts.? 😉

lol, safe bet, but luckily I only spend a few weeks at most up there, and usually several long weekends, so I overlook those violations!
