If You Could Pick Any Single Barrel

I guess I'm just either foolish or pragmatic - I'm happy with the current level of innovation and new/special product presentation. The major distillers are moving as fast as I could wish - good job, boys!

An 18yo barrel proof Bowman Rye would certainly grab my attention.

This!

In addition, I'd like to see the current tanked Sazerac 18 go out with a bang and have it released as Barrel Proof for the final release.

While we are dreaming, how about a Dixie Dew/Mellow Corn at 10-15 years in those used barrels. I really have no idea if it'd taste good, but I'd love to try it. It might begin to go in a scotch-like direction.

Almost missed this one.

Yes! superb idea. I would love to see what those whiskeys can do at 12 y/o!

That's about the best idea I have heard in a long time, wow! aged DD/MC, where do I stand in line?

Hear hear!

Weller 15 year barrel proof
MM 100 proof, with or without extra age
ETL 18 year 107

Not to repeat, but:

1: MM 10yr barrel proof

2: MM 15yr barrel proof

3: Weller 12 barrel proof

4: Handy 20yr barrel proof

5: WT Rye 20yr barrel proof

6: FR Wheated 12yr barrel proof (hey, we're dreaming, right.)

That WT 20yr Rye sounds interesting! Yummy, especially if it spent those 20years on the bottom floor of their coolest warehouse.

Not so much a single barrel, but I'd love to see a couple of the Master Distillers from different distilleries get together trade a few barrels to blend with their product. It would be cool to see what each distiller could do with the other's product.

Great thread Steve. This might be pushing the guidelines but for me...KBD honey barrel pick of one of their stellar 17-21yo wheater short barrels, barrel strength, NCF. Liquid f'ing candy.

I wholeheartedly agree, provided I get at least one bottle!
