  • Secret of Espy House Barrel Strength Bourbon
    Aug 2 2024

    We have seen a lot of private-label bourbon on the market but Espy House Bourbon is set to bring American History and bourbon history together. The brand refers to the Epsy House named after Colonel David Epsy, a very influential and political man and owner in Bedford, PA. I was considering a beautiful home that George Washington our first president used in 1794 during the Bourbon Rebellion. Today it is a historic Tasting room owned by TODD EICHELBERGER. The whiskey was sourced from Bardstown, an average of 7 years old with an MSRP of $120. #bourbon #whiskey #hoodsommelier #history #georgewashingtonquotes #pensylvania #espy #caskstrength #barrelproof For any of my merch Check out my website www.hoodsom.com Be sure to join my Patreon Community at www.patreon.com/hoodsom Looking for a new glass to try your whiskey?
