Why I chose it: For the second KY trip in a row we found ourselves at the beautiful site of the old Talyor distillery, now home to Castle & Key. I wasn't planning on picking anything up, however it was the weekend of the Kentucky Bourbon Festival and they just dropped their 6-year anniversary celebration bottle. A single barrel which hopefully represents some of the their best stuff to date. The bottle is beatiful and the experience was nice with the owner of the distillery chatting us up and signing our bottle for the release weekend (signatures below).
