Whiskey for My Men & A Stave for My Horses

Blanton’s may be one of the most recognizable bottles in bourbon—but for Jason, it’s more than that. It’s still the “plumb line” he uses to measure just about everything else.   On this Porch Picks from Two Guys On a Porch,  Bradford comes back from the Kentucky Bourbon Trail with stories from Buffalo Trace Distillery, some surprisingly reasonable gift-shop prices, and one long-overdue gift for Jason: a barrel stave for his collection of Blanton’s horse toppers.   The guys talk Blanton’s Single Barrel, Weller Antique 107, bourbon hunting, collecting all eight letters that spell BLANTON’S, and the strangely difficult pursuit of finding the right second “N.”   It’s a quick conversation about bourbon, friendship, tiny metal horses, and why some bottles never really leave your rotation—even after your palate changes.   Whiskey for the men. A stave for the horses. Sounds about right.   #tobykeith #willienelson #Bourbon #Blantons #BuffaloTrace #Whiskey #BourbonHunting #KentuckyBourbonFestival
