Review: Henry McKenna Single Barrel Bourbon 10 Years Old (2011)
Henry McKenna is a value-priced Bourbon from Heaven Hill with serious street cred: Single barrel and bottled in bond (100 proof), it’s aged 10 years and sold to retailers, who pick out their own barrels and sell them direct. This is common with many distilleries, but not at these prices.
This McKenna is the 9th barrel from Oakland’s Ledger’s Liquor (Barrel 662 from the distillery). It’s a big winner: Scorching hot and dense with spicy rye character, demanding a healthy splash of water to coax out its charms. When you do, they are abundant: Caramel and vanilla in harmony with classic rye charms, with a finish that offers both a cinnamon punch and a soothing sweetness to take you out. It begs for repeat sips and, should you polish off the bottle, well, another one is barely 20 bucks away.
Remember: As with any single barrel spirit, bottles may vary widely.
100 proof. Reviewed: Barrel #9 for Ledger’s Liquor.

Ledger’s is pretty far from Oakland, it’s in the center of Berkeley.
I have a jug of Henry Mckenna Kentucky straight Bourbon whiskey it has the seal still on it, on the lable it says 86 proof, 6 years and the stamp on the bottom is146 68 d126 so I am guessing this to be 50 years old. Question would be is it still drinkable and what would the price be if I were to sell
Thank you
