How much different than the non heroes ? Does the picking make a diff ? Regular jdbp rye my favorite
@bakerdrinksКүн бұрын
Honestly, a good pick absolutely makes a difference! The people who are involved in the single barrel program pre-taste all of the barrels and select the best for picks.

My trash palate gets a peppery finish on the Pipe Dream 101. The Bardstown Goose Island BCS Collaboration is fantastic. This year’s is 100 proof. I also have a bottle of the previous batch and it is 111.4 proof and is a chocolate cherry bomb. 🥃

Nice video guys! Have you tried my Woodinville sample yet? The store by me still has a solid vintage Maker's pick with the Mocha stave. I have a few picks with that stave, Passed on all of the ECBPs and Larcenys this year. I still have to try my Smokeye Hill sample from Dave Vogelsang. I also tried the Murray Hill Club from Dave. I thought about having my friend grab it numerous times for me in Ohio. It did not hit Buffalo.

My surprise this year has been Texas Pot Still Bourbon from Balcones Distilling. The surprise is along the lines of what y'all experienced with the EC BP. This was once my favorite whisky, but about the time Diageo bought Balcones the quality went down - it was still good, but it was no longer magnificent. But my most recent bottle is right up at the old standard, and that surprised me since I had accepted the drop in quality.

OK so for me this year I was surprised by a few. The first being the "Chicken Cock small batch." for the price I thought it would be kind of a middle of the road whiskey, but I really enjoyed the flavor of this one at 100 proof. Next would be the Old Forester 1910, I have enjoyed the Old Forester 86 for some time and thought this was just an overpriced over hyped Whiskey, boy was I surprised, I really enjoy the sweetness and over all flavor of this one. My biggest surprise was by far the Jack Daniels Single barrel, barrel proof rye "Hero Edition" I got on base. I to that point had only tried Old No 7 Jack. After tasting that I have been a single barrel fan.
