    This is your last chance to save for the holidays. They make the best gifts for your dad, husband, brother, uncle and more. Whatever their interests, there’s a unique material and story behind each piece that they’ll love. You can save OVER $100 with Original Grain. They’re running a $100 off Black Friday sale but you can use code BREWZLE to get an extra 10% off www.originalgrain.com/brewzle

    I just toured Sagamore Distillery in Baltimore two days ago and it’s awesome! They have two different blends. They age 4-6 years minimum in non-temperature controlled rickhouses so the heat and cold of the seasons help expand and shrink so the flavor gets drawn out of the barrel better. Really good stuff, their bottle in bond in what I took home. If u take a tour ask for Jake - he’s great

    In my opinion Bardstown's High Wheat is one of the best wheaters on the market that's regularly available. To me it just totally blows out WSR and while it's very different to OWA I think it's probably just as good. For $45 it's an extremely underrated bottle in most places.

Bardstown's High Wheat I personally like a lot because you get a great combination of the wheat smooth sweetness and a bit of what is really convincing faux rye spice on the finish that while it does contrast the sweetness I think more than anything enhances it.
