The Bourbon Brand You Are, Based On Your Zodiac Sign

OK, I might have to buy this:

Aquarius​

Stillhouse Whiskey

Aquariuses tend to defy the status quo, in fact, they actively avoid it. For these signs, their individuality is of the utmost importance. Aside from their funky haircuts and unique hobbies, Aquariuses maintain their individuality by siding with the most unpopular opinion possible. They prefer to be the black sheep of the group, and they aren't afraid to differentiate themselves from the crowd. It's why they tend to be loners, with a collection of equally non-conforming acquaintances rather than belonging to any one social group. Knowing that, if the Aquarius were any bourbon brand out there, they'd be one that sets itself apart. That's why they'd be Stillhouse Black Bourbon.

While one could argue that every bourbon brand is unique in its own way, Stillhouse Black Bourbon is different from any other bourbon out there — and you can tell just by looking at it. Instead of the traditional glass bottle, his bourbon is bottled in a square, black, and stainless steel can. It still goes through the regular processing that most bourbons do, only it's blended with corn, rye, and barley. After its time in the barrel, it's charcoal filtered and given time to rest with roasted coffee beans. The rest time gives this bourbon an extra bit of coffee flavor that only enhances its soft and aromatic notes to create a bourbon that is smooth, balanced, and completely unique. Just like the Aquarius, this bourbon is unusually cool.

Just make sure the can has booze in it and not paint thinner.

I haven’t posted to this thread in a while but this stuff stands out. Something new and very different. Bhakta is the guy that founded Whistlepig and all those good bottles of aged Canadian rye whiskey you’ve probably loved. This bottle is rye blended with very old Calvados and some old Armagnac. Really tasty.

Has anyone tried or heard of 10th Mountain Bourbon? Made here in Colorado. I saw it on Applejacks website while shopping for a birthday gift.

Oh yeah ….. it’s been around for 5-6 years and is an excellent drinking bourbon. Standard stock in my shop bar.

I've had a couple of store picks that were real nice.
