Jason, you said that the Heaven Hill distillery was founded after World War II. It was founded in 1935.

I just did a blind for my second episode and surprisingly I really liked the B522

First bourbon (Tennessee whiskey) that comes to mind is Jack Daniels Single Barrel Barrel Proof - 66.1% ABV - This is JD in peak form..!!!

[@WhiskyJason1]

totally agree

Nice comparison. The consensus this year was the B coming in 2nd with the C first, making many 'best of 22' lists so try to get it when available. The Larceny barrel proofs did very well this year too w the C release getting similar praise as the EC C. I only have the EC A and Larceny B, both super complex and terrific. Worth noting is the Booker's is about 3x the price and very limited. From a content, production and relatability standpoint, the best American whiskey tuber imo is Mash&Drum (another Jason : ) Chk him out if you haven't already.

we don't have Larceny barrel proof over here in Europe :-( and only one batch ECBP per year :-(( Mash&Drum is a legend!
