Savor the Burn: Cocktails & Rock Tales

We're reviewing Batch pick selected for Total Wine & More, a Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey from Woodford Reserve — nosing, tasting, and calling it like we taste it.Walking the aisles the other day, I probably walked by this bottle a half dozen times. Every time thinking the label was a little different, then it jumped out, this wasn't the standard 90.4 proof you consistently find from Woodford Reserve, this was the original Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, but at 110 proof! Personally selected batch for Total Wine & More! At 90.4, this is always a great pour, what will it be at 110? Let's find out!Our rating breaks down nose, palate, finish, and presentation — each scored out of 5, added up, and halved for a final score out of 10.🥃 New here?

Last November, we had the chance to visit and get a great tour of Lux Row in Bardstown Kentucky. There we discovered the Old Ezra 7 Year Full Proof Straight Rye Whiskey. Then we saw there was a distillery exclusive Single Barrel pick. Head to head, glass to glass. What will a single barrel give us that sets it apart from a small batch. Or will the blend process of a small batch give a more well rounded pour? It's on. Time to rumble!As always, thanks for watching and "Keep on Burning!"
