Sippin' Bourbon

So.... If I come across another Blanton's between now and when I head back south, you don't want to trade me a Stagg Jr for it?

Will probably head to Richmond tomorrow for a few days of visiting. Maybe take the blue roads and make a few stops. Recommendations welcome.

Hmmm...no, I’ve got two Stagg already. I will tell you that Virginia ABC gets Blantons on a regular. I got three of my bottles from there.

I edited my post to clarify but you already quoted it.... I'd trade my Blanton's (if I had some) for Stagg Jr.

If you come across any Blantons I will gladly trade a Stagg for a Blantons and pay you the difference.

"You got the Stagg?"

"You got the Blanton's?"

"Shhh...not so loud. You never know who's around. Don't reach for your wallet."

Scored a Willett today.

I’ve got all the Blantons letters now...I need another hobby...

Mine are mounted on a barrel stave.

I’ve got about 6 more fifths to drink...then I will get that.

Sigh.

As I recently noted on another forum, American Freedom Distillery headquartered in St. Petersburg, FL was founded by folks from 5th SFG(A), made famous by ODA 595’s saga in Afghanistan following 9/11, as depicted in the movie “12 Strong”. Their Horse Soldier Premium Bourbon is not a true Kentucky Bourbon, as it is made in Ohio in partnership with Middle West Spirits. Perhaps a bit overpriced, nonetheless, it compares nicely with many of its Kentucky cousins, offering a relatively smooth and flavorful experience, both neat or in a cocktail, with a bit more complexity and power than things like Woodford or Willett, but not quite as elegant as Four Roses or others of that ilk. Definitely worth trying and purchasing a again.

@DocGKR I think you had better append the moniker "connoisseur and bon vivant" above your avatar.

Thanks for the review.

Normally the only non-Kentucky bourbon I drink is Fiddler made here in Georgia. But based on the back story I would make an exception for Horse Soldier.

Thanks @DocGKR
