If you ever get to take part in a Sazerac lottery pick…

Do it, do it, do it.

Was fortunate to be invited to take part of an Eagle Rare barrel selection at Buffalo Trace last Friday and it was an absolutely incredible experience. What made the whole afternoon better was that our VIP guide and leader was the one and only hall of famer Freddie Johnson himself.

I’ve never gotten lucky to time a regular tour at BT over the years or even score a hard hat, so for my first visit to be led by Freddie — don’t think I’ll ever be able to top it.

Seeing the excavation work at the original OFC distillery and the saved “Old Taylor” fermenter in action was a highlight as was going through a high wine low wine exercise. But being able to sample a thieving at proof from the final barrel was absolutely the kicker. 
 

10/10 would do again. Hoping I get lucky and can win one of those things myself one day!

I have 4-5 email addresses in the lottery pool, doubt I'll ever win but you have to try! Great post!
