Pourly Educated

Whiskey, chocolate, and a sold out crowd. Fun evening last night for a whiskey and chocolate pairing. Three bourbons, two ryes, and two fun pours that fit the theme. Thanks to everyone for coming out! Stay tuned for our next event.

Ladies in red pouring up some last weekend at the (festival). Lots of whiskey flowing with so many great brands. There was even a wedding beforehand. I say a whiskey festival makes for a great reception!

Whiskey Advent Day 12. This is a single barrel picked at for the 2025 Kentucky Bourbon Festival (we only pick the best barrels for the festival!) 110 proof and absolutely delicious.

Whiskey Adventure Day 9. This gem comes from I absolutely love their single barrel bourbons and ryes. They name them based on the tasting notes they get. This one, Orange Cream Soda and the proof is 106. When in Louisville this distillery should definitely be on your list to visit. Stop by and see my friend ! I grabbed this bottle back in September at the Kentucky Bourbon Festival so you might not be able to grab this exact one. But they always have some delicious options available.

Whiskey Adventure Day 7. Playing a little catch up today! Private Selects can be a fun adventure. I’m usually a fan of the now retired mocha stave or ones that are high in the French Mendiant stave (think chocolate). However if you know me you know how much I love anything churro!!

Whiskey Advent Day 6. This is a special single barrel that came from the in Texas. It’s a 16 year old “Buff Turkey” barrel. These highly sought after single barrels were barrels that were produced at Buffalo Trace for Wild Turkey. In 2009 Campari Group acquired Wild Turkey from Pernod Ricard. In 2011 they invested $50 million to expand the distillery. It was in this time of expansion that’s concerns arose about not being able to produce enough bourbon. So an unlikely partnership with Buffalo Trace was formed. They used the traditional Wild Turkey mashbill and the barrels were aged at Wild Turkey. However they decided not to use these barrels and they were sold off to various NDPs (non distiller producers). This bottle comes in at 122 proof
