    Legent is a bottle you buy for someone you don’t like, and you want them to know it.

    Just poured this and holy shit is it fantastic.

    Am I doing math poorly or does the alcohol content and the proof on this bottle not line up?

    My local store did a Makers barrel. Not a big Makers fan but figured I would try it out. Turned out really good.

    Nose is pure maple.

    Those ECBP private barrels are fantastic. At least the two I’ve tried have both been.

    Driving up to Indy from Atlanta tomorrow. Going through Nashville and Louisville. Any stores worth checking out? Not looking for unicorns, but would like to find a Remus Repeal or a Blaum Bros 12 yr CS.

    Red spirits and wine in West Nashville and Elixer Spirits in Spring Hill are your best bets in Nashville. But both are out of your way if you’re coming up 24 and taking 65N.

    Also, saw black bourbon and rye. They’re both $100. Well now you’re back at, and above, Barrell prices and I don’t really know what you’re doing with this brand anymore.

    Sprayberry is sniffing their own farts because everything is jacked up now. He won’t admit it, but I’ve been shopping there long enough.

    Still worth it.

    Brij got a big head from his fb followers. His store picks are good, but his cult is driving up the prices

    I've been following that dude for damn near a decade from back when craft beer was what bourbon is now. Dude knows how to market himself and his store.

    I don't live near it. I've actually never even been there. I started following him because his store would get all the good beers before mine would, so I'd know what was coming.

    I know it's not technically bourbon but the Jack Daniels Single Barrel barrel proof is such a solid whiskey. Especially considering I can actually find it.
