It's



so much more than a picture of Bourbon to me.




For one?
Nobody ever heard of it.
1885 Henry McKenna started makin whiskey.
Think about that for a second.
Pre-civil war.

Heaven Hill doesn't even list it on their website.
Rob, yes that Rob, brought  the first bottle I ever saw of this to the Phi Delt House back in the mid eighties.
It's good lol.
There are a lot of bourbons people are paying a lot more for than this that aren't nearly as good.
10 years old.
100 proof.
Smooth.
Bottled in Bond.
I would say light bodied?
Not so in your face quite as much.

All these guys on instagram with more money than they got sense posting pictures of anything and everything with a cigar and their fancy glass.
You can tell half of them don't even know what they got.
Nothing against fancy glasses lol.
But every damn picture gotta be like that?
They will never get to ride down to the local store, find a bottle of this, put it on the back of their buddy's tailgate with his moms horse barn in the background and grab a shot.
All in KY :-).
By shot I mean the picture and the whiskey lol.

Like I said, it's so much more than a picture of Bourbon to me.
It's personal.
