Week 8

A matchup for the ages.  A veritable who's who of upper shelf bourbons were paired up against each other and all of the judges were the beneficiaries of a tremendous series of tastings. 

Another blind tasting for the group of judges did not disappoint.  In fact, the only debate was if the next pairing could possibly be better than the last.  The tasting also welcomed another new judge to the season bringing this year's count to 22 total tasters.

In the end, the best of the best of the night was certainly crowned but not without some worthy challengers and some mathematically close battles.  What a joy for sure!!!
