Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Well worth it. I always bring a second bag when I go to KY, probably good advice for any trip though. You never know when the bourbon fairies will show you the way :noon

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
I got an ounce off a friend when he cracked his Booker's and poured half of it in a blind against POAC, Parkers 10yr Rye and THH at the end of last year. It was clear just from the nose that two of...

It is! Jay picks everything for R/Bourbon with very few exceptions, he also picks everything for aficionados group (non bourbon spirits). He does spirits full time but doesn't make any money off...

Good news considering the alternative. Got any bars near you with a decent selection? Sounds like you got doctor's orders to buy off the top shelf only :noon
