we can chat at Strouds
Come on man! It’s waffle Sunday! Bristol has to have breakfast!
Bar none (no pun intended) one of the coolest experiences I've had.
Neat bourbon bar and store in Louisville. They have lots of dusty bottles and they serve them.
We did a flight with
1970s "Camel" bourbon - very corn forward like a corn pop but smooth
1940s "walsh" (grocery store brand) - you could taste the age, lots of funk
1990s 12yo Old Rip Van Winkle - wow and my personal favorite
1990s Old Saint Nick - another wow but different than the ORVW, bars upon the age Julian Van Winkle Sr probably selected the barrel.

Had a flight. Bought a bottle. Townsend, TN. Wasn't the cheapest. Wasn't the most expensive. It was the one I liked the best. I don't have a refined pallet to explain it, nor do I partake often enough to know the differences. I liked it.

I like it. Local to the area. Guy was master distiller or brewer or whatever they call them at JD for a couple decades. Branched off on his own.
Distilled in 1917 Pre-Prohibition, spent 15 years in a barrel. Bottled and labeled "for medicinal use only" in the spring of 1933. End of Prohibition was Dec 1933.
Definitely had dusty bottle notes but flavors of maple syrup, cola and bubble gum.

looks good, and that you enjoy it is the most important part

Doug and I finally connected this AM so he could get his bottle of Bookers from Rick, from Strouds, lol.
Unfortunately I only had 10mins before my next mtg. to catch up and do a crash house/barn tour, but that good lad brought me a bottle of Ancoent Ancient Age as a gift! Man, talk about catching me off-guard, what a surprise that is TOO good! Thanks again Doug!
