Hillary and I got to spend the week in Tennessee and do our Barrel Proof picks at the JD Distillery in Lynchburg. Went for 1 but we ended up doing a Hers & His pick and are bringing home 2 barrels picks! Started the day off with a great lunch at Miss Mary Bobo's, then a great private tour with Jeb and finished our day with our tasting with Jack taster Josh "Nacho" Phillips. Incredible time.
Hillary's Pick- 127.1 proof. A great Barrel Proof feel all the way through. Oak, Vanilla, Sweet Pralines, nice long finish with a great Tennessee Hug that's not overpowering.
Jeff pick - You wouldn't guess its the higher proof at 129 between the two. Super smooth that's sweet and smokey. Crushable easy sipper or would go great after dinner dessert.
Looking forward to these two and hoping to get them in around Father's day to mid summer.
