I've got an embarrassing amount of reward points at my neighborhood shop so I'm thinking of using them to pick up a couple bottles.
That 4 roses bottle in the middle in my second picture is both. It was chosen by two members of our Arizona Bourbon Society group who went and tasted barrels. 4 roses bottled the barrel they chose and sold it to our group. It’s bottled at barrel strength and aged 9 years and 10 months. If you get guys who know how to taste bourbon, the private picks can be outstanding and much different from the taste of same generic bottles on the shelf.

Let me know if you need help choosing some bottles there!
