Another free pour last night, courtesy of a tasting hosted by Gary’s Wines, while offering a lottery for Pappy 20. This was one of the highlights of the night, and probably best overall value at $40. Tasted blind, I really would’ve thought I was having Elijah Craig barrel proof, or one of the Four Roses single barrels. Amazingly complex, with a lingering ginger-vanilla taste. Out of the five I tried, I placed this as #2, but best bang-for-your-buck. ( my ranking was store version of a 15 yr old Barrell bourbon, then this New Riff Single Barrel, Blanton’s, Jefferson’s Rum, and finally Makers Mark)

@Evilbiochemist no idea—-I’m in NJ. Haven’t been to Michigan since my college days
Do you know who sells this in Michigan? I’m up here for turkey day and the weekend.
I really the direction of this new distillery. They make their own juice, it’s bottled-in-bond at 4 yrs,really affordable , and easy to find without mad searches
Great haul with all those pours! I am waiting for this one to come out west. We still have no distro.
