Amazing what a nice bottle and topper will do for selling a product. You would think bt has to be catching up on production of that soon with all the expansions.
Yup, it's wild. I'm gonna go grab a taste tomorrow at the distillery if any is left, it sounded like the bottles were going fast they allocated to the bar. Had to just grab my bottle and run today.
I was able to grab the new new riff release that has basically broken all the local nky groups. Pissed I didn't have my wife grab one too as soon as I saw these bastards are going for $1000+ immediately. Bourbon is wild man
Woodford reserve and castle and key are both close to Buffalo trace and amazing. Unfortunately I don't think either are doing tours during pandemic, but gift shop is open at woodford at least and grounds open at castle and key. 100% worth going if in the area
Distillery is definitely worth it to stop by. Just book a tour and you get to skip the line of taters. After the tour you get dumped into the gift shop anyway, bypassing said taters waiting in line for their Weller special reserve.
It's worse. If you get into small towns you will run into more, but it is probably at secondary pricing. Heaven hill, four roses, and wild turkey put out good stuff in the gift shops. Heaven hill you will have to line up before they open though. Buffalo trace has a huge line every day for eagle rare, Weller Sr, eht small batch, or blantons, which is random each day and only one of those. Fuck that
Yeah I bet it is from the nky stores. I dislike those fucks. Guarantee that bottle came from the store in a "basket" with 2 cheap shelf turds for at least 400 bucks. And people buy them immediately here.
Also herbie, loud and clear my man!
Some Buffalo trace single barrels can be great and are a complete steal at around 25 bucks usually. All depends on the pick though. Regular bt is just a good value since it's between 22-26 at stores and always available (around me at least).
