This cinema-inspired brand from college friends and co-founders Michael Lahalih and John Pals is back with another winner. Sourced from an undisclosed Kentucky distillery, the barrels that make up the single barrel release of “The Proprietor” line are deemed too good to be blended. And I have to agree. This 12 year old barrel #9 takes everything we loved about their 6 year old “The Jokester” and improves on it. Higher proof and age brings forth a deliciously sweet array of dark fruit, baking spices and a perfect amount of oak. Excellent intensity without going overboard only adds to the drinking experience. Wherever they’re sourcing these barrels from they better keep a secret, because others are going to be envious and want a piece of the action.
