These two Bub City picks are fan-frickin-tastic. Weller Full Proof and New Riff. The Weller FP is everything I hoped it would be. Like Weller Antique but MORE of it! And this 4 year old New Riff blew me away with it's maturity and complexity. Going back tonight for more....

There's a story behind this picture.⁠
⁠
I had just arrived in Louisville for the 2019 Bourbon & Beyond festival when I was invited for a cigar and bourbon. The venue? Bourbon Hall of Fame member, writer, and bourbon historian Michael Veach's front porch. ⁠
⁠
After sipping from bottles I had never tasted before Michael invited us for a tour of his office; the 3rd level of his home. Here we saw so many bottles, both common and unicorn, sealed, opened, and empty. This is one of just a few photos I captured showcasing his desk and the MANY bottles that adorn it and his entire home. As one might expect of someone in his line of work.⁠

Russell's Reserve is delicious and barrel picks of Russell's are one of my favorite finds. Binny's consistently selects great barrels from Wild Turkey and pretty much everywhere else.

One of the perks of covering this industry is the opportunity to taste unique, and sometimes rare, whiskey samples. These 3 samples are the individual whiskey components that make up Beam Suntory Legent Bourbon. Beam 5 year bourbon, "Wine cask component", and "Sherry cask component". All presented at cask strength. My first question after tasting these was, "Can you PLEASE bottle the Sherry cask finished bourbon?!".

A pair of delicious bottles I wish I still had. These 10 year Old Scout single barrels were chosen by the Bourbon Women organization. Bottled with the labels "Autumn" and "Spring" these were two very different bourbons equally amazing in their own ways. Available for a short time at Binny's these $60 bottles quickly gained cult status and rocketed into the hundreds. I drank these two down to the last drop.

Four Roses 2014 Limited Edition Single Barrel. "Year of the Toast". A very special release enjoyed at a very special bar.
.
“This year’s Limited Edition Single Barrel is a tribute to the loyal following we are so fortunate to have,” said Rutledge. “This bourbon went into the barrel and was put away at a time when Four Roses had just returned to the states and it’s remarkable to see how far we’ve come as a company since then.”
.
The Limited Edition Single Barrel bottle pays tribute to Four Roses’ loyal fans by including a toast submitted during the Year of the Toast campaign that celebrated Four Roses 125th anniversary. The campaign encouraged consumers to submit their favorite toasts via email and social media, with one toast selected to appear on this year’s Limited Edition Single Barrel bottle. After reviewing hundreds of submissions, Four Roses executives chose the toast from Frank Wheatley of Louisville, Kentucky.: “If I could age like bourbon, I wouldn’t mind getting old.”"

I definitely had bourbon at my wedding. A fair amount of bourbon....and barrels. Four Roses seemed like a good choice for the occasion. Do you have a memory of a special bottle you enjoyed on a memorable occasion?
