My friends seem to be under the impression that I like the brown water.
So good. I had the pleasure of helping a friend polish this bottle of.
. Also not me, btw.
So that was the culprit?

Hot Damn
Yes sir! lol
100% pure ethanol 
It’s not all bourbon but it’s a lot of goodness.
@WharfRat where did you find the Blantons?
It shows up every now and then in Memphis. The Blantons isn’t the rarest bottle on that counter.
3 of us pooled a selection and tasted our way through them last night.

Watching a friend pick a barrel. 4 samples from 4 barrels.
@BMThiker
Yes! As you probably know, each of the little bottles is a sample pulled from a barrel each barrel ranging in age and location in the rickhouse. It was a first for me to watch someone purchase a barrel of bourbon (150 ish bottles) straight from the distillery. Kinda cool if ya like that sort of thing.

That's a lotta cheddah.
But I think the math worked out that if you're gonna drink that much, it's a better deal than your local store one bottle at a time.

Purchase for resale
Interesting. Under special label, or is he going to bottle it himself?
It will be bottled under the distillery’s label & taxed / delivered through the state of MS as normal. However he has the option of nicknaming the barrel and adding a small sicker with the nickname on the side. He usually goes to Kentucky several time a year to “barrel pick”. Theses are served at his restaurant, The Manship, and printed in green on the bourbon menu.
I think the Jack Daniels distillery keeps your barrel onsite as well. You purchase, they put your name on it (and on a plaque in the tasting room) and then they send you a bottled product at your own frequency.
