The move from Dickel to Sutton, by two master distillers, never did make much sense to me---until I heard this news.Brian (AKA The Dean)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15072638994343667673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-39721176419543828482016-12-15T23:13:05.082-06:002016-12-15T23:13:05.082-06:00And their distilleries have got the best tours in ...And their distilleries have got the best tours in the business. On a trip through Kentucky and Tennessee last spring, when we hit all but the Lawrenceburg distilleries, the tours with tasting at Barton in Bardstown and Buffalo Trace in Frankfort were by far the best. No fee, extremely knowledgeable industry old-timers as guides, and none of the Disney-esque circus at some other places with well-known names. Just the steam-punky charme of old-fashioned distilleries that make great whiskey.

Their stewardship and improvement of the Frankfort Distillery is impressive in its own right, including the recent discovery and preservation of those old fermenting tubs they uncovered there. <br /><br />Add to that the Single Oak Project and Warehouse X, and you have evidence of a company that is completely committed to tradition and quality improvement for the long haul.<br /><br />I am also grateful for their stewardship of their customers, refusing to price the Antique Collection of of the reach of the average drinker's budget and keeping a 10-year age statement on the still sub-$30 Eagle Rare.<br /><br />Thank you, Sazerac, and Happy Holidays to all!Sam Komlenicnoreply@blogger.com
