Bourbon Real Talk

Some distilleries allow certain clubs and people to come and select a single barrel.

Is it dumb to select a single barrel offering from an already single barrel offering? 🟧 PATREON - patreon.com/bourbonrealtalkplus 🟩 BOURBON REAL TALK MERCH -http...

So let's see what they pick a...

I was sitting in a bar in Louisiana, and felt like the law was clearly being broken. A bar owner was selling their own whiskey AND other brands as well?

All three are the same juice essentially, just different ages and slightly different proof. You won't believe who w...
