I just got a bottle of that. I have not cracked it yet. What did you think?

Really enjoy their rye, it's dangerous.

I’ve been quite pleased so far. A review I read when trying to decide on purchasing it liked it but, thought it was a bit over priced in comparing it to other traditional style bourbons. I don’t mind paying $60 for a bourbon that has a rather distinct flavor that suites my palate, and this is just that.

This place is Him

Could've been my timing on a Sunay afternoon but I was the only person at the bar and ol boy kept feeding me barrel pick after barrel pick before I was like bro I have to drive back to Globe

Seriously though grabbed a pour of Del Bac single barrel plus their Yellowstone pick to-go. This place is super friendly and legit.

I bought a bottle last summer as a bit of a joke based on the name, but it was legitimately good. Killed the bottle out by the pool with a handful of friends. It is a touch pricey for what it is, so I'm not sure if I'd get it again barring a sale.

Agree, that place looks awesome...

My neighbor bought a barrel of Knob Creek (owns a liquor store!!!) and MAN OH MAN is it tasty.

Barrel! Wow! That would be great for my weekly poker nights.

J. Rieger Whiskey out of KC is shockingly good.

If you haven't already, check out Pitch, they have some cool barrel picks to try and buy to go as well. The food is a little pricey but really good. they have two locations, one in north Scottsdale and one in south Scottsdale

Thanks for the rec. That place looks legit, will definitely check out.

Well they send it to the store bottled, but personalized in the label. The send the store samples from different barrels, you pick one, then they bottle it and send it to you.

It's god stuff...

You used to be able to pay for a custom tasting at some of the distilleries and could get an actual barrel with your own customized blend or even a single barrel (no blend). They would even allow you to customize that stamp burned into the lid.

I know Jack Daniels did this and I think a few others.

That, I think, is how this worked. In this case they bought one of the six samples that were sent, but no blending. It's quite potent too... As for the branded barrel, I don't think that happened. But they sent three samples in one box, and three more in another after he passed on the first three, and the boxes are a keeper too. And they even sent a bottle of their spring water to clear the palate between tastings.

It's not cheap, but it sure sounds like a fun thing to do if you're in the business.

It would be an awesome thing to have in the home bar.
