I was under the impression that only 10 and 12 were BT liquid, maybe...15 this year. 20 and 23s likely purchased from Heaven Hill.
Bourbon of choice tonight?

Also, I don't think MGP has any wheated bourbons they produced or at least of any significant age.
I think you can. I just pulled this up:
Roll out a whole barrel of bourbon!
For those at a loss on what to buy that person who has everything, think bourbon—a whole barrel of bourbon, to be exact! Buffalo Trace Distillery, located in Frankfort, Ky offers bourbon enthusiasts the unique opportunity to hand-select their very own barrel of premium bourbon. Visit the Trace to experience an amazing day of southern hospitality and leave with the ultimate souvenir!
The road to buying a barrel begins with selecting a brand such as Buffalo Trace, Eagle Rare Single Barrel, Elmer T. Lee Single Barrel or Blanton's Single Barrel. Warehouse Supervisor, Ronnie Eddins, will first pull several barrels of bourbon that meet the taste profile of the brand and then samples will be drawn directly from the barrel. Ronnie has more than 45 years of experience and is an expert in barrel selection. While the barrels must meet a certain criteria for the brand, each barrel will also have different nuances, making it unique and one-of-a-kind. BT website from this year.
Also, Woodford has the same kinda deal...http://www.woodfordreserve.com/whiskey/by-the-barrel/
They bottle it and put it in case boxes before they sell it to you. You go there, sample barrels, pick what you like, then they bottle it and funnel it through a retailer like Liquor Barn, etc. They will include the empty barrel with the purchase.
Point me in the right direction Cletus. I have no earthly idea WTF you're talking about. I didn't edit a dam thing.
Again, you went and attacked the wrong hombre' dumba$$.
And if I have to explain what "sauce" is to you than you are worse off then I originally thought.
That would explain why you think I ever posted anything to you on the football board.
Not a bourbon guy.
Scotch. Glen Livet. 12 years. A pricey delight.
Before you try it, let me warn about this lady. Lovely complexion wrapped in green. Nice shape. Easy going down. So smooth. Take her straight and neat. She is a 10 over 10.
But BE WARNED!! She is treacherous. You can not handle her except in moderation and sipped slowly. Abuse this gal and she will sneak up on you, beat you senseless, take everything you own and leave you bound and gagged in a dark alley to die.

I used to think that was a fact also. I have looked it up and had an inside distillery your. I know it sucks. I was mislead my whole life.
It's sad but true, Bourbon can be made anywhere...in the United States, as long as the production guidelines are met.
You can follow the official bourbon production guidelines in canada or Japan or Peru, but you can't call it bourbon.
Kentucky has and does dominate the Bourbon market, mostly based on having hot summers, cold winters, pure limestone water sources and easy access to grain, most importantly, corn.

I said "historically" meaning just that, in the past. If I'm still wrong about that than I'm wrong. But it's not how I've read it.
ah - love me some Woodford; over an icecube or two, not to be mixed.
Yesterday was my 40th birthday, so I broke out some nicer bottles for a couple of night caps.
Bourbon has been made all over the U.S., historically, and even in Mexico during Prohibition. Kentucky is far and away the leader in bourbon production. Historically, that's due to geography and tradition, really. As mentioned earlier- there is good weather for aging, lots of limestone water, corn is a dominant nearby crop, etc. Also, the hilly and mountainous topography of the eastern portion made it easier to ship grain in barrels after being distilled than by bushels in carts. Lots of small distillers migrated here over the Appalachians during and after the whiskey rebellion to be farther from the tax arm of the federal government, and they brought their whiskey making traditions with them. It just became something we did here. Like fried chicken.
The farther north you go, the more predominant rye whiskey becomes, as rye grows better in cooler climates like Canada and the northern Midwest.
