Ask about our current barrel of Gary’s Blend!
Our very own Woodford Reserve Private Selection Gary’s Blend is carefully crafted by Gary and Rusty Bucket Associates several times a year since 2011.
Available only to our Rusty Bucket guests, no two barrels are alike (just like fingerprints). It’s science. Once each barrel is gone, it’s gone. Never to be recreated. Cheers!
