Having an extra day in Louisville lead to a serendipitous meeting with the owner of Old Louisville and the offer to pick a barrel. This was a surprise I was not expecting.
Old Louisville is currently a NDP (non-distiller producer) that sources some incredible stuff and the only bottle 7yr plus
I spent two days going through what they had and narrowing down what was the best example. I walked in after a 36% Rye MGP with more age than your average bottle out there
After climbing ricks to thief from every barrel we found the perfect 11yr. The right balance of nose, mouthfeel, sweet and savory flavors, oak, spice, and everything nice on the finish
Came out at 107 Proof but had the mouth way above its weight class. I feel like I take some heat (pun intended) for some of the high proof stuff I do so it was nice to find an exceptional Cask Strength at 107 that I find makes for an easy drinker
