September 16, 201511 yr Any of you afficionados coming for the Ky Bourbon Festival? They even have an event just for this called Bourbon, Cigars and Jazz. It always sells out.

September 16, 201511 yr Started yesterday and finishes up Sunday, although not much goes on Sunday but the breakfast and some live music. https://www.kybourbonfestival.com/ I'm getting set to get dressed and go to the All-Star Sampler for "work." Some free bourbon is a nice reward after mowing the lawn today.
September 16, 201511 yr Well shoot. I'm flying out tomorrow. On a good note, I did manage to happen across two bottles of Weller 12 year old in Champaign two weeks ago. Edited September 16, 201511 yr by coldweatherfan
September 17, 201511 yr Well shoot. I'm flying out tomorrow. On a good note, I did manage to happen across two bottles of Weller 12 year old in Champaign two weeks ago. I get lots of Illinois tourist folks in at the bar and they say they can find it all day long, along with the now exceedingly-rare Elmer T. Lee. It's like the mountain lion here in Ky.
September 17, 201511 yr Seriously folks, if you're out traveling and can find stuff at local stores that's rare in Ky, you should bring it back with you and sell it on the secondary market to bars and private folks. Stuff that sells for $75 a fifth in Iliinois can fetch $25 a pour at bars in Ky. And it's always labels that aren't the most well-known.

September 17, 201511 yr I haven't had any Owl but I hear it is quality stuff! Dear Friends of The Owl, We’re delighted to announce the release of our second batch of handcrafted Kentucky Owl Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. Batch #2 will be released exclusively in Kentucky and sold at fine retailers and dining establishments. It is now in the hands of our distributors. We have been alerted that it will reach stores the first week of September. Creating this round has been just as exciting as making our inaugural batch, and we can't wait to share it with you. Batch #2 is another Barrel Proof expression: a carefully selected blend of 6 Barrels (3 Char 4 and 3 Char 5) chosen for their character and readiness for bottle. Our process involved experimenting with the contents of 9 of our favorite barrels over the course of this past year, and the subsequent blending of over two dozen combinations from which to make our final selection. All of those samples were interesting, many were tempting, but our final selection was simply head and shoulders above the rest. This Second Release shares the same long and lingering spicy, cinnamon and peppery finish as Batch #1 , but with more age on it; and the addition of more of the sweeter notes from the Char 4 barrels gives it an initial honeyed tone on the front of the palate. It starts smooth, creamy and rich with nice buttery and sweet red fruit notes before developing into the big, bold finish that you expect from Kentucky Owl. 2015 Kentucky Owl Batch #2 is 117.2 proof / 58.6 % alcohol by volume. Once again, Kentucky Owl will only be released in Kentucky. We don’t know who gets it, nor do we know how much they each get, but we do know that there are 1380 bottles in this release. We wish you happy hunting. There are great things in store for the future of the Wise Man’s bourbon. In the meantime, we think you’ll agree that the second batch is an in-depth expression of the full-flavored Barrel Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon you’ve already come to expect from Kentucky Owl. And we think we’ve done our founder, C.M. Dedman, proud. Thank you, The Kentucky Owl Family Check out these links for reviews of our 2014 release: Garden & Gun Magazine’s Fifth Annual Made In The South Awards The Advocate Messenger thebourbonguys.com thefourbarrels.com I'm hoping for a really good day at the bar on Friday or Saturday and I'm going to have a pour of this.

It's like the mountain lion here in Ky. I'll be back there in two weeks I'll take a look and see if I can find any. Anything else you would like me to be on the look out for? I don't really know what is hard to come by. They did have Johnny Drum 15, Noah's Mill 15, and Rowan's Creek 12. Edited September 17, 201511 yr by coldweatherfan

The Willett brands were hard to find for a while but they're back in stock locally now. But if you ever find any of the Willett Family Estate 4yo or 10yo Single Barrel, it's worth getting.

September 18, 201511 yr Picked up a Padron 64 series. The sales guy said they were excellent. I will smoke it on the beach, last day of vacation.
