But this is not labeled as "Straight". Just "Kentucky Whiskey". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess would be that there is a component in the blend that's less than four years old and you can't call it straight if something is less than four years and you don't mention it on the label. I think that's what you were also saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanstaafl2 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Maybe they used Early Times or something similar. If some of the whiskey is aged in used barrels it is neither bourbon nor straight. Just "whiskey". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.B. Babington Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 on the label, they spelled it both "barrell" and "barrel" "barrell" is a rare alternate spelling, but usually used for surname Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much of the tater community grew up drinking Jack and Coke so they think there is no way anything Jack Daniels can possibly be tater worthy. I think we are safe!

With the massive amount of barrels that JD has they could literally flood the market with unbelievable great single barrel barrel proof store pick juice and most people would still think “it just JD how good could it be.” I have helped pick about 4 of these barrels for SBBP picks and all the samples were very good (could have picked any of them). Always one just stands out a little bit more.... I guess that’s the case with most store pick. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dad-proof Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I poured a sample of Santa Fe Spirits' Colkegan Single Malt Whiskey. I was skeptical, but find it enjoyable. It is young and tingly, but without the raw grassiness that ruined my limited experiences with other American malt whiskeys. Way too many Scotch single malts that outclass it within the same price range, but exceeded expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of broadly describes the American “single malt” in a nut shell for me. With perhaps a few very limited exceptions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FasterHorses Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Fineness. Similarities to the KC15 PS. A little more heat but not unpleasant. Same amount of oak. Zero vitamin. Like a more refined version of the BiB. I wouldnt mind bunkering a few of these store picks. $59 for 15 yrs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mule Skinner Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Cracked one of the Dickle 15 year single barrel, and I really enjoy it. Nice longer finish that is full of all the stuff I like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0895 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Read recently that this one is going to be a Utah only release going forward and ran out to grab another one before they disappear completely. Very nice bourbon-rye blend. Enjoying it quite a bit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dad-proof Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) Torn on where to post this, but either way proofed down a bit (pictured at around 51-54%) this JDSBBP is really enjoyable. And yes, dusting this room is my job and I am behind schedule (although I blame the contractors in the basement).

LCWoody Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I’m up in Louisville Kentucky today and tomorrow doing some barrel picks at Bulleit and Barton (1792), really cold up here. On the way up of course we stopped at some liquor stores. I bought a GD 15y and opened it last night. I’m not sure if this is a TN/KY only thing, but wow. Very good. I may have to stop and pick up another on the way back home. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very, very good and South of $70.00. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDanner Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 I'm currently (trying) to drink Dickel 15yr Single Barrel. I'm hoping that I just got an off barrel because it is in the running for worst non-Craft whiskey I've ever had. Lemon Pledge and bitter oak is all I get. It's one of the 42.2 proof offerings and I've heard that the higher proof barrels are better, and I hope that's true. I'm a huge fan of just about everything from Cascade Hollow, but this one is a real head scratcher. One positive, the nose is out of this world, but unfortunately, it's not air freshener of perfume. You eventually have to drink it, and Man is it bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of all the barrel proofs that I buy, these go from full to empty the most quickly. Surprising, when I consider that they are not what I would call plentiful on the shelves in my area, nor are they necessarily inexpensive. You’d think I’d be more judicious in my pours. But, even at $65+, it delivers quality enjoyment well above that price. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
