  • SRP Stop!!

    Love all your episodes… BUT you have to STOP talking in terms of SRP. No one makes a decision to buy bourbon these days based on SRP- especially LTOs. SECONDARY is all that matters (especially in OH where you can’t buy HH22 at SRP). Please add ‘would you pay $$$ secondary for this bottle..’. Thx!

BH429 - Mouth Experience Monday - Quad Blind from Todd Ritter!
Q: How do you feel about the finish across the samples?
The second sample has a more pronounced, longer finish with richer oak and caramel, while the third is a bit more muted but still balanced; overall, the final sample stands out for its finish and viscosity.
BH429 - Mouth Experience Monday - Quad Blind from Todd Ritter!
Q: What do you get on the nose for the first sample?
A good amount of vanilla with a touch of nail polish remover, suggesting oak aging and a possible brown formany style; the tasters note a creamy, slightly viscous nose.
BH415 - Interview Series - Nashville Barrel Company and The Compromise
Q: What are you looking for in terms of taste profile for those barrels?
We're looking for sweet notes and balance, particularly more approachable flavors as we blend, while keeping a bold profile for single barrels.
