I pivoted to this. First time trying it and my word... it's incredible.

Edit: Not technically bourbon, so I hope the bourbon thread forgives me.
Not normally a JD guy but they knocked it out of the park with this one.

Some Green River and Very Old Barton with a splash of Sprite.
Gotta save some GR for the game tomorrow since this was what I had during the last few games.
I am just here for the conspiracy theories

I got a buddy who drinks Very Old Barton. Like many other drinks our ABC stores around here don't have it. The Wake/Johnston county area sucks. Unless I've got bad timing for when I go?

I bought a bottle after trying the regular single barrel. Never been a Jack Daniels fan but I enjoyed both of the single barrel offerings immensely.

Doesn't have a designation like that. Had the bottle a year or two and just opened it.

Now that the crowd is gone, went in today and got some Makers' number 46. Hope it tastes as smooth as it looks.

OK, so upon fresh crack, wasn't terribly impressed. In all honesty, I was a bit disappointed. It was OK, but nothing to write home about. Woodier than I would have thought given the age statement, and a little proofy, which seemed to mute the sweet, fruity notes that I love about the regular Holladay offerings. What I was expecting, or I guess what I should say, what I was hoping for, was a worthy rival to Bardstown Disco 11. Upon first taste, it was certainly not that. Not even close.

Fast forward a couple of weeks to tonight. Couple of buddies and I tried our luck at the Lexington drop this afternoon. Mixed results there, but that's another story. Came back to my place for a few pours afterwards. Decided to revisit the Holladay1856 to see what my buds thought of it, and more importantly, to see if it had opened up at all. AND MAN DID IT EVER!!!!! Wow wow wow!! Just a fruity, spicy flavor bomb that just punches you right in the kisser. Where there was once disappointment, there is now only elation. Turns out this IS a worthy rival to the Disco 11. If you have the opportunity to get a bottle, or even just a pour, do whatever you have to do to make it happen. I can't say it's THE best bourbon I've ever tasted, but I can without hesitation say, it's one of the best I've ever had. 10 out of 10.
Log off. Go outside.
