Budget bourbon lovers, this one’s for you. On this week’s Neat Plans & Pour Decisions, the gang uncork the Kirkland single barrel from Barton 1792 — yes, that one folks keep whispering about in the liquor-store whisper network. The taste test? They’re impressed, and the value? It might just be unbeatable. But is it the best bottle at this price?Then, the wheel decides… and the result is wild. The guys are baffled, the bottle is mysterious, and the taste-test turns into a mini quest to figure out what’s really going on. Grab your glass, lean in, and let’s get sipping.⸻📬 If you would like to send us samples for the wheel, send about 2oz and a sealed envelope with the name, proof or any other details that might be relevant to: Neat Plans & Pour DecisionsP.O. 3058 Bardstown Road 1329 Louisville, KY 40205

Short Barrel "Fire In The Hole"
Neat Plans & Pour Decisions - Ep. 28 - Short Barrel "Fire In The Hole" This week the guys uncork a monster from Short Barrel’s Single Barrel / Hazmat Series: “Fire in the Hole,” a barrel-proof straight bourbon tipped at 141 proof. According to Short Barrel, these single barrels are 6 years or older, with mash bills and proofs chosen by barrel selection. This is not a mellow pour. It’s bold, dark, intense—yet the guys actually dig it.And the wheel? It’s cooperating. Someone pinch us we must be dreaming!_____________________________________________________Send us Samples!
