In this episode of High Proof Ashes, we’re diving into a bottle you can only find in the Bluegrass State—Burton James Single Barrel Bourbon from the Kentucky Bourbon Festival. This limited Kentucky-only brand brings a classic profile with a warm sweetness, seasoned oak, and a surprising depth for a young label. It’s the kind of pour that makes road trips to Kentucky worth it.For our smoke, we’re continuing our run with the Casa Cuba Flora Fina, a cigar blended by the legendary Don Pepin Garcia to honor his family’s old-world Cuban traditions. Its smooth medium-bodied profile, gentle spice, and creamy texture make it a perfect match for a focused single-barrel tasting.We talk through how the bourbon and cigar play off each other, what changes as the glass and stick open up, and why regional-only bottles like this keep bourbon hunting fun. Another relaxed, flavorful session—pour a glass, light up, and hang out with us.
