BourbonNet (kinda)

I slept on this bottle for a very long time. I never even gave it a second glance. Lately, people have been talking about it more and more on the bourbon dark web and instagram/blogs. A buddy of mine finally picked one up last week since it is on sale in Wake County this month. I lasted 5 days before I had to buy one. I went to two stores the other day with no luck, one today and left empty handed, then went to my final stop before grabbing it.

I do not like Jack Daniels. It is not for me in the slightest. But this bottle takes it to another level. If you are a fan of bananas, banana pudding, bananas foster, banana milkshakes, or anything else with banana in it... do yourself a favor and get yourself one of these. I promise its worth the price. Its the exact opposite of Stagg Jr, but possibly better. For every bit of cherry and dark notes that you get from STagg Jr, you get banana and light flavoring in this bottle.

Normally it runs for $69.99, but it was $64.99 this month. So worst case scenario, you don't like it and you have a really cool bottle.

Please forgive me, @IneligibleUser

which is pretty fascinating to me. We did the Old Forester tour in 2019, and the huge fermenters smelled like they were full of bananas. It was just bananas, man. I haven't had the JDSB in probably a decade, but that was one of the first whiskies I ever tried drinking straight (well, with a cube). Drinking, not shooting, I mean. Should revisit for old time's sake.

Unrelated, but occasionally a true unicorn will hit the block at BSM. I'm not a Willett disciple, mostly because I can't afford to be, so I don't know all of the ins and outs of their history, but I DO know of the legend of the Green Ink bottles. A guy put this up yesterday, 22 Yr. WFE Rye, can't find the post so don't have pics of the back label of who the guy was who picked the barrel, but this was one of those unicorns. Bottled in '84, so distilled in '62.

Had all the nerds in a tizzy. Guy listed it for $15,000. Handful of people tried to talk him down to 12, 12.5, even 13. Within an hour or two, he got full price for it. Couple guys asked "is it worth it?" And the answer is obviously very subjective, with the biggest variable being "how much do you make?"

Re: BourbonNet (kinda)

I’d drink it.

I share all my bottles

Most sourmash smells like bananas when it's fermenting,

Some of the values I have been seeing on BSM lately
