Behind the Barrel Pick

Description

What does a barrel pick actually look like behind the scenes? Join Brims & Barrels and Laz from ThatSubourbonGuy as we head to Still Austin for an exclusive single barrel selection on behalf of Katy Liquor. From touring the distillery and learning about the blending process to tasting multiple barrel samples side-by-side, this episode gives you a front-row seat to the decisions that happen before a bottle ever reaches the shelf. Along the way, we dive into flavor profiles, debate our favorites, compare notes, and ultimately narrow down the field to the barrel that will represent Katy Liquor. It's not just about picking a great whiskey it's about finding a barrel with a story worth sharing. A huge thank you to Oscar, owner of Katy Liquor, for trusting us to be part of this experience, and to the incredible team at Still Austin Whiskey Co. for the hospitality and transparency throughout the process.

From sprinting down Whiskey Row chasing exclusive distillery releases to narrowing four incredible barrels down to one unforgettable selection, this was more than a bourbon trip—it was a bucket-list experience. One of the highlights was stepping inside the historic Warehouse C, built in 1885 by Colonel E.H. Taylor Jr. More than 140 years later, this iconic rickhouse continues to produce some of Buffalo Trace's most sought-after barrels. Standing among that history, surrounded by aging bourbon and generations of craftsmanship, is something words simply can't capture. You don't just see Warehouse C—you feel it.
