Even if every barrel was sampled before selecting to ensure consistency there must be some variation. Thanks!

What a fantastic event put on by The Bardstown Bourbon Society. (I have to say, the human statues kinda creeped me out a bit, tho). For everyone out there who is a follower of HH's fantastic products, you owe it to yourself to sign up at their website for the free membership and schedule a trip to KY to coincide with one of their events.

We tasted that at the beginning of the evening and my palate was fresh. We also tasted a bottled version later in the evening and, after an evening of food and drink, there's no way I can offer up a critical opinion right now. I enjoyed it, but that's all I can say. I'll post up a formal review soon. Abinash, that's a very good question! As many of you know, Heaven Hill's distillery burned down in a fire in 1996. Until they bought the Bernheim distillery and got it up and running, they were having their whiskey distilled in other places (as chuck points out in your link). But Larry Kass, communications director for Heaven Hill, told me on Saturday night that this vintage is from THEIR distillery. Dutch, I enjoyed the barrel sample immensely.
