Great write-up, Bill.

Now we need to get to the REAL meat of the matter. TASTING notes! :-)

I'd love to know how each of those taste, especially the differences between the "big" distillers and that small-batch OCD.

While I'm a proud Canadian from the land where rye whiskey reigns supreme, I can enjoy good bourbon and scotch, and have a real weakness for dark rum. I'm a "sipper" rather than a "drinker" so would very much appreciate learning your impressions of those different whiskeys.

Thanks!

My go to whiskey is VO Gold! It is a great every day sipping whiskey!

Unfortunately, none of us took notes. However, I did buy a bottle of Rye at Buffalo Trace, which was really good!

The OCD 5 was by far the best of all them.

I'm not a big gin drinker but did enjoy the gin drinks we tasted at Castle and Key. Enough so that I want to go back when they start serving their bourbon in two years!

Love the trip write-up. IMHO the best of brand at Buffalo Trace is called Blanton's. Give it a try if you can find a bottle. You won't be disappointed.

I agree, Blanton's is very good. Unfortunately, they were out of bottles at the distillery, so I didn't come home with one. However, we did get to taste it.

Nice write-up! I was in those same winds Friday afternoon crossing the Appalachians, and they certainly weren't smooth. Fortunately, I was flying with them rather than against them!
