Yeah, it has become the official (sponsor) bourbon at the KY Derby and several other big events in the state, so people are becoming more and more familiar with it, even though its one of the 5 oldest bourbon distilleries in the state.
A company I used to work for sent me to China and Japan quite a bit, and anyone who has interacted with them in a business setting knows that it is customary to take gifts with you when you go. Those dudes loved some WF Reserve.
Funny story about that. The other night I was a bar and a guy comes in and orders "A Shot of Gentleman Jack." He goes to the bathroom and comes back to find that they bartender had brought him a shot of Jim Beam and Jack Daniels. The dude was like "WTF is this?" The bartender said "You wanted Jim and Jack".
Long story short, they actually had an argument about it and the guy ended up leaving. Strange stuff.
Never tried it but a local bbq joint has a bourbon club and its on the list. $45/shot. Went there after a buddy's engagement dinner. We are regulars and when they found out he was getting married, the bartender gave him a free shot of Pappy. He said it was the best bourbon he's ever had. One of these days I'll pull the trigger and order it.
