Let's compare a couple different single barrels to find out what makes these bourbons different.
It was Thursday afternoon, and I was struggling to figure out which bourbon I would review for Friday's article (not that I hadn't been drinking bourbon during the week -- drinking and tasting are totally different things). What was I to do? At about 4 p.m., I got a call from El Jefe. "Hey I have about 15 open bottles of bourbon at my office, why don't you stop by?" Now I have never been been one to turn down free booze and the wife was out of town, so I decided that I would join him.
