Selecting a private barrel video with Four Roses Jim Rutledge

[TomFischer]

For all of you that appreciate Four Roses and Master Distiller Jim Rutledge, we were grateful to have the opportunity to join a few gentlemen on a private barrel selection with Jim and capture on this video - http://www.bourbonblog.com/blog/2010/02/23/barrel-of-bourbon-four-roses-private-barrel-selection-program/

The experience was powerful, the Bourbon was too and this shows the passion that Jim puts into this experience and everything he does.

Ha! Coincidentally I ran into these gentlemen yesterday as I went to pick up a bottle of sherry for a catering I had later in the day.

I pulled up to the liquor store and noticed someone taking pictures of a barrel outside of the store. As I walked past I noticed "OESV" on the barrel. I asked the store manager if they were doing a specialty bottling of 4R. He said no, that the gentlemen behind me had purchased a barrel. I spent a minute or two talking to them about their experience then had to head out to get back to work. I'll check out the entire video later when I get home.

A fun video to watch. That looks like a great time, but it's hard to imagine buying a barrel and not getting the one that YOU really want. Compromise would be a bitch knowing how many bottles you're going to get with only three guys buying in.

Still, what a blast it would be to do that with your buddies.
