Selected by the house itself

The label says the bottler chose the cask. That is a fact worth keeping, but it is not a store pick, so it sits apart.

Franklin

The bottler itself, Franklin, KY. 1 pick

How a pick is read

A filing counts as a pick only when its label names who chose the barrel: "hand selected by Liquor Barn", "selected by The Prime Barrel", "selected for the Citadel Class of 1996". A series called Single Barrel Select with no name on it is not a pick, and a barrel number alone is not a pick. One store, one page: spellings and casings of the same name are folded together, and every printed form is listed on the store's page.
