WT 12 y/o Gold Foil

Warehouse Z, Barton's distillery, single barrel, straight from the barrel, destined to go into Ridgemont Reserve 1792. Too bad it was mingled.
I remember that one Dane. Your right, it was magnificant but not available to the general public.Quote:

Really? I saw some at a duty free shop just 2 months ago. Are they starting to phase it out?Quote:

Van Winkle, Lot B - the older one of SW origin, bottled in Lawrenceburg. Although just about any VW product could be 'best' IMHO, this one had the best of all worlds for my palate in terms of balance, nose, start, finish, etc. Though it is entirely subjective and will be different for everyone, the 11-15 year age range is where most of my favorite bourbons lie.
