Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.
Jake, I haven't opened the latest Booker's (25-02) yet, so I can't speak to it.
The newest Little Book uses brown rice in the mash bill. They used it in Chapter 4, and I wasn't a fan.
My favorite ryes are the 10 year Whistlepig single barrels at this point. Sazerac is a lot cheaper, but you get what you pay for?
Good suggestion for a tasty and affordable rye.
Beam has started allowing single barrel picks of Knob Creek to be released above their standard 120 proof.
Got this Jay West pick today, 9+ years and 125.9 proof. I'm banking on it being a banger like most of Jay's picks have been.

What proof is yours, Jim?
I bought one at TW and am looking forward to cracking it open.
What proof is yours, Jim?
It's down in Tampa so I'll find out when I get down there in October.
Trust me it just feels forever.
