Tasting Notes
- Nose: Warm caramel, toasted oak, vanilla, rye spice, dried fruit — accessible and inviting at this proof level

- Finish: Long and warm with lingering sweetness and oak — approachable for a cask strength release

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Lucky's Market and why does their barrel pick matter?
Lucky's Market is a Colorado-based specialty natural grocer that curated a dedicated spirits program, including barrel picks from top distilleries. Their Boone County selection represents a documented retail pick with geographic specificity — a Colorado-market barrel that never entered broad distribution, making it particularly collectible for Boone County enthusiasts tracking named picks by state and retailer.
How does B0528 at 110.72 proof compare to Ghost Collection releases?
At 110.72 proof, B0528 sits in the approachable mid-range of Boone County's single barrel proof points — above their standard BiB releases but below the higher Ghost Collection expressions (117-125+ proof). The same 12-year MGP foundation, different barrel exit proof due to individual aging conditions. This proof level is ideal for drinkers who want full cask-strength authenticity without needing to add water.
Is this bourbon MGP sourced?
Yes. Like Boone County's Ghost Collection releases, B0528 is sourced from MGP Distillery in Lawrenceburg, Indiana (mashbill: 75% corn, 21% rye, 4% malted barley). Boone County curates, selects, and bottles these barrels as single barrel expressions under their program.
