We try to pick which one is the oldest and the youngest. Shop with your nose and not with your eyes. A terrific discussion and you can easily recreate a flight like this on your own. Maury is older and yet not the wiser of the bunch. We taste and rate the whiskey from 1-5 with 5 being the best:
 
Sample A - Evan Williams 12 – SIPS - 3
