What a year, and it’s only March, and Friday the 13th • Eerie • Luckily I have these to keep me warm at night • If you got a chance to score the now sold out and first SiB @bellemeadebrbn in New York which I helped picked with the guys over at W.I. Wines, what did you think, send me over your thoughts?! • #bellemeade https://www.instagram.com/p/B9rTpxkgQHN/?igshid=7lzpe7xddch9

#WhiskeyWednesday with #BooneCounty #1833. I have been waiting quite awhile to try this one. Here's the good. It's a 10yr #MGP low #Rye mash at 21%. It's an easy sipper. There is no need to add water because it is very mild mannered. There is some confectionary sweetness right up front. It has a touch of cotton candy and some sweet oak. The finish is all vanilla, and caramel. The bad news, this whisky has no backbone. It has a nice flavor and tastes from the same vein as #BelleMeade #SingleBarrel but with all the personality stripped away. At 90.8 it's guttless. It's not a bad whiskey but they need to go ahead and crank it up to at least 100 proof. I didn't hate it, but so glad that I got to #TryIt before I #BuyIt. At 65$ this is a #LeaveItOnTheShelf. You just are not getting a great value. @tnwhiskeyco Belle Meade, and @smoothambler are better out of the wrapper, better in a glass or cocktail, and better for your wallet.

The one two punch • Really enjoying this years releases of single barrels from the boys @bellemeadebrbn • I believe something like 25 barrels were released this year spread across different states, with a big majority being released in their home state of Tennessee • If your able to grab a bottle locally I would say do so, it’s exceptional MGP juice • #bellemeade https://www.instagram.com/p/CAVWGE-gzBx/?igshid=1h5er75ewohj8

New York State of mind • Definitely becoming a big fan boy of these SiB Belle Meade bourbons • My boys at West Islip Wines coming thru again with the hook up • This won’t be staying sealed very long • #bellemeade https://www.instagram.com/p/B_gY7YWgLbX/?igshid=5hy4a2cpulob

Anyone else love aged MGP deliciousness?! • Well if you are and you live on or around Long Island your in luck • I teamed up with my boys at West Islip Wine and Liquor and we picked a killer Belle Meade single barrel, which is the first single barrel Belle Meade in the state of New York • This is a 12 year 3 month absolute monster • So if you’re in the area or know anyone near by, I highly recommend grabbing one before they disappear • #bellemeade @ngbdistillery https://www.instagram.com/p/B9cERK8g8Jc/?igshid=1nrcwpiapp2f4

All different but very much the same, can anyone name the similarities with these three?! • Lots of people hated the new single barrel Old Scouts but regardless of the negative reviews I personally love the funky Dickel juice they selected for it, it’s out there for sure but it’s also very unique and different in a good way, which in reality isn’t that what we’re looking for?! • Pair that and mix in a little delicious MGP juice and you land the WJ14, tempted to blend a little of the Belle Meade and Old Scout and do a side by side with the WJ14, should I?! • #smoothambler #bellemeade #widowjane https://www.instagram.com/p/B7JSIvSA4Xi/?igshid=1lpl7d1yywsk3
