I am a bit of a whiskey buff, with a dozen different single malt Scotch bottles on my bar (my favorite being Ledaig 20 year), and a half dozen blends, ranging from Johnnie Walker Blue down to Crown Royal Reserve.

One of my best friends prefers Makers Mark so I keep a bottle around for him, but I have ever really been that into bourbon. But last night I went over to my favorite liquor store for some wine to go with dinner, and on impulse grabbed a bottle of "Jefferson's Reserve Very Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Very Small Batch". The color was excellent, it was proudly labeled "number 718 of 2400 bottles", and it was less than $60 for 750ml, so what the heck.

Damn. This stuff is GOOD. Very complex, rich flavor with great aroma and a lasting sweet finish. Wow.

Is anyone else familiar with this, or other products from McLain & Kyne of Bardstown KY? Are their small batches always this good? What else do they make?
