Barrel buying trip!

The Wine and Cheese Place went out to the Ben Holladay Distillery to pick out a few barrels. We tasted some amazing barrels with Kyle Merklein, Holladay’s Master Distiller.

We picked out two stunning barrels - an almost 7 year old Soft Red Wheat at 122.5 proof and an Original Mash Bill Bourbon at 7 years 4 months coming in at 124.2 proof. We tasted the barrels blind, but Kyle says we definitely have a style, always on a high floor and always higher proof.   He said he could pick out barrels for us without us tasting - haha
