I'm not a big bourbon drinker, but that beer list sucks donkey balls. It's almost exactly the same as the beer shelf at food lion. No thanks on paying $40 for that.

^agreed, not to mention the reviews of the Charlotte one last year were pretty bad as someone said earlier.

8/6/2008 4:56:13 PM

Knob Creek
Maker's Mark
Woodford Reserve

unfortunately you can buy all those bourbons from the local liquor store except the ones listed below.
Never heard of most of them, so i checked the interwebs to see if any of those are promising.

Cabin Still - this is a lower end bourbon from Heaven Hill, prolly nothing too interesting

Kentucky Vintage - small batch from Kentucky Bourbon Distillers, could be very good if they bring the well-aged stuff

Noah's Mill - also from KBD and it will be a punch in the face at 114 proof no matter how good the quality is, but reviews are generally good

Pure Kentucky - another one from KBD that will burn you face off at 107 proof

Rock Hill Farms - single barrel from Buffalo Trace, 8 years, prolly very tasty

Rowan's Creek - this is like a toned down Noah's Mill from KBD at 100 proof

Van Winkle 12yr Special Reserve - i have tried this and it is excellent and it could be the best bourbon on the list....Buffalo Trace actually makes this bourbon with the Van Winkle recipe....too bad they are not bringing any of the pappy van winkle family reserve

Very Old Barton - redneck, punch your pregnant wife in the gut, booze

William Larue Weller - from Buffalo Trace, named for the first dude to use wheat instead of rye, aged 12 years and it's barrel strength, 120 proof, def. want to try this one

ok, now i'm excited about going despite the lame beer list and the extra cost of tasting BBQ

note to self: bottle of water to tame the higher proof bourbons

btt...what did you guys think?

i couldn't go cuz I had some work to do that came up last minute

drunk

VIP tickets were definetly the way to go, it got really crowded after 2pm, but from 12-2 it was easy to drink as much as you could handle

the review above didnt hold true, there was plenty of booze to go around, we didnt have bourbon tokens, so you could drink all the bourbon you wanted.

my only complaint would be that they needed waaay more BBQ vendors out there. I think there were only 2-3 vendors, but they were giving away free samples - not the $1 samples that was advertised. You just had to wait in 20+ minute lines to get your samples.

The beer was good, the bourbon was strong, the ladies were hot in their sundresses, the band was good background music.

Overall I give it a strong B+, would defintely go again

8/9/2008 7:19:35 PM

yeah, i had a blast... and we ended up leaving an hour early

also, Elmer T Lee is my new bourbon of choice

8/9/2008 7:44:32 PM

it tastes like somebody shit in my mouth


so much bourbon, so many cigs....
