Inviting all FT bourbon lovers to the 16th Horse and Bourbon DO in LEX. Over Easter weekend, April 9-12, 2020. Might be able to have an extra day because of the holiday.
We have people who come every time. You will enjoy I think. Distillery/bar visits, southern food, brewpubs, best ice cream in KY, party on the lake, points/miles talk.
Thread in Community Buzz, generally on the first page.

300 GBP= $387
Sazerac 18 is one of the more limited BTAC...
I'ld pay that.. I wouldn't pay that for William Larue Weller, George T STagg or Thomas Handy
but yes in a heartbeat for Saz 18 or Eagle Rare 17
For reference
I see the Saz 18 going for $70-800 easily on the secondary, even in spite that the last two releases are "new"
Find an older tanked Saz 18 though.. much better than the stuff actually distilled by BT

Picked up a Pikesville Rye at the Durham ABC the other day (on "sale" for the month of March). Very tasty -- a more refined Rittenhouse (it's baby brother) and a great sipper where Rittenhouse is better served as a mixer (a very good one but it's pretty hot and spicy on its own).
May have to grab another bottle before the end of March while the "sale" is still going on.

As for tonight -- killed my last remaining bottle of Buffalo Trace that was leftover from our wedding 18 months ago and opened up a new bottle of Sazerac. Down to just 3 bottles of Sazerac (more like 2.8 after tonight) -- need to figure out how to obtain more at a reasonable price (with reasonable shipping).

Back in the fall I happened upon an unopened case of E.H. Taylor Single Barrel on the floor of a Texas liquor store. I only bought two bottles and am kind of kicking myself for not buying the full case. Haven't opened either bottle yet but am leaning towards keeping one and selling the other. I've always enjoyed the Barrel Proof expression of EHT (in bars and restaurants, I've never found a bottle for sale at MSRP).
