Rock Hill Farms - The Bourbon Dentist and a Blind Flight Surprise

Tonight’s pour is Rock Hill Farms – a 100-proof single barrel bourbon from Buffalo Trace that once earned the title “world’s finest” from Washingtonian Magazine. This one’s got mystery, nostalgia, and a dentist with bourbon in every cupboard.

Dave and Helen share the story of discovering this elusive bottle on a work trip to Kentucky, why it's so hard to find in Australia, and how it ended up in a blind flight by accident (with excellent results). They chat about what makes it special — from its vanilla and caramel layers to its square base and substantial topper — and whether it belongs in the top shelf rotation.
