for the 1940 Barrel Society. Old Kirk Barrel # 6938 Company on Label: A.P. Hirsch Selected Whiskeys Pick - Barrel KY-012 Company on Label: A.H. Hirsch (Bottled by Strong Spirits; Distilled in Bardstown, KY) Whiskey Type: Bourbon Mash Bill Percentages Coming back to this there's something that reminds me of an arts and crafts bin - maybe it's crayons

I've heard this called "Blanton's Jr" or something akin to that, and all my experiences with it have lived up to that stereotype so far. For one pour I attempted to put aside my preconceived notions on this bottle and give it a fair shake. Company on Label: Buffalo Trace Whiskey Type: Bourbon Mash Bill Percentages: Buffalo Trace Mash Bill #2 (Higher Rye 12-15%) Proof: 88.9° Age: NAS (Rumored ~8 years) Further identification: 2020 'Buffalo Trace Allocation Season' purchase Dry nose; slight apple. Hint of vanilla is present and surprising amount of ethanol for the proof. Palate improves markedly with creamy thin vanilla mouth coating soaking in a light cherry. Rye spices (black pepper) are tamped down by much sweeter notes like a light fruity oak. Not overly complex... with a short, forgettable finish. Rating: 3/5 I think this one is getting too low in proof for me to enjoy regularly. But some days when you are tired and just need an easy sipper, this could definitely be it, if you can somehow find it for below MSRP.

I've tried this many different times, many different ways; in neat pours, in blind lineups, in an old fashioned... you name it. This review will be a neat pour. Company on Label: Wild Turkey Whiskey Type: Straight Rye Whiskey Mash Bill Percentages: 37% Corn, 51% Rye, 12% Barley Proof: 112.2° Age: NAS Further identification: Purchased early 2020 Nose: Mint and leafy spring greens. Copper note with a slightly earthy oak. Bubble gum and dust. Citrus is like an orange zest, but it's not sweet. A lot of dill now that I've had a sip. Cotton balls. Copper metallic note is all throughout this now. It's kind of off-putting. By the bottom of the glass a nice vanilla and caramel show up, but are quickly pulled off the surface and that volume of sweet air is consumed completely on a deep inhale. Palate: Whew! Big citrus spice right on tongue. Quite a bit of mint and a strange wood funk I can't place. Anise. Little to no linger. I let this rest a while longer hoping for a better experience. Still really only astringency I'm experiencing. There might still be some citrus or stone fruit hidden in these depths but they are fleeting. Minty and still funky, I can't say this is my favorite profile; I've loved absolutely everything else from Wild Turkey, but this bottle is a bit of a miss for me. Rating: 3/5

The basic idea centered on two observations we made about craft spirits a few weeks earlier. Second, despite a boom in popularity, craft spirits were still not widely available to consumers. Craft distillers were creating great spirits, but the people who would appreciate those products the In short, the goal of Two Souls Spirits is to make the best craft spirits in the US available to consumers Simply put, finding premium, rare craft spirits has never been this easy.

AJ felt it was only right to honor the family legacy through Kentucky craft bourbons and whiskeys. To celebrate our 10th anniversary, I’ve crafted a special bottle that blends tradition and innovation I'm certainly curious to know and am equally curious to explore a blend of bourbon barrels and, in a nod to AJ's moonshining roots, cane mash bill barrels as well. I was astounded by what I tasted and that a craft distillery produced it.
