Lots a lots of variation from barrel to barrel and each one is unique, you get to decide what you like about a barrels individual qualities and put your name on it, then have it's yield delivered to you!

Are you saying that if I buy 100 bottles from 100 different stores they will all taste different?

Hi mailman... I wondered the same thing, and Chad answered in #8.

Yes. If you look at single barrel barrel proof, it will be different. I have 131.6 proof and 135.1 proof. The highest they ever had was 137.

What's really funny is that 3 of us were wearing Rolexes and I was the only geek taking wrist shots. Soooo, should I be or ?

That's cool and I don't drink Jack. You can hear the joy this gives you via the computer. Who cares what anyone else says.

Now for me to find out if there is a Tito's/Ciroc/Fuzzy's barrel club for me to join!!

Very cool, enjoy. I was surprised that there could be a 70 bottle difference per barrel.. That seems like a lot of Jack...

I can't quite make it out because it is slightly blurred.

Does it say "Watches" on the "Not Allowed" section? 3rd down.

The bottle label is "Best served with friends." The barrelhead is "Life is better with good friends and whiskey."
