Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Jimmy Russell's 70th Anniversary 8-Year-Old Bourbon Review Campari could have easily made this another three-figure limited edition like Generations, but they didn't. I'm not sure who we thank for that, but I'd like to think Jimmy had some input.
American Whiskey Reviews Whiskey Jypsi Legacy Batch 002 Review The first Legacy Series release stood out as a rare example of a celebrity brand that was more than marketing and a shiny bottle. This latest Jypsi Legacy Series release is equally impressive and will likely find lots of fans. It's an entirely different animal, however, from Batch 001.
American Whiskey Reviews Parker's Heritage Collection Malt Whiskey Finished in Heavy Toast Cognac Barrels Review Cognac finishing like this is somewhat unique for an American whiskey, but it really sings with this well-aged malt, delivering a bright, silky aroma of ripe apricot, flamed orange peel, and soft wood smoke alongside the expected roasted and dark tones of the toasted oak.
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Doc Holliday 7-Year Bourbon Review: Cask Strength, Bold Flavor In the crowded world of single-barrel, cask-strength bourbons distilled in Indiana, this one is notable for its complexity and depth of flavor.
American Whiskey Reviews Bernheim Barrel Proof Original Wheat Whiskey Batch B924 Review No one is going to be disappointed with this one. It's not quite the flavor bomb from earlier this year, but what it lacks in potency it more than makes up for in approachability.
Rye Whiskey Reviews Elijah Craig Toasted Rye Review Just look at that bottle. Leaning nonchalantly up against the wall of what appears to be a very nice Las Vegas bathroom. I can almost imagine it taking a long drag off a cigarette and telling me to lighten up. If an inanimate object could exude cool, it would be this one.
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Russell's Reserve 15 Year Old Bourbon Review The nose is brooding and dark with a crispy foundation of chocolaty barrel char slathered in notes of dark berry jam, orange marmalade, and overcooked caramel. It's one of the more intense Wild Turkey noses I've experienced.
Rye Whiskey Reviews Heaven Hill Grain to Glass Rye Whiskey Review This is probably the most unique offering in the Grain to Glass lineup, not least because it's the only true cask strength expression.
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Heaven Hill Grain to Glass Bourbon Review Like those whiskeys, this is expressive and well-spiced. The nose shows more barrel notes than the wheated release, with plenty of oak and clove, but there's a thick layer of caramel sauce and gooey apple pie underneath that makes for a silky, sweet aroma.
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Heaven Hill Grain to Glass Wheated Bourbon Review You may have plenty of craft bourbons on the shelf with a similar story to this one, but how many truly grain-to-glass bottles do you own from the big boys?
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Old Fitzgerald 10 Year Old Bottled In Bond Bourbon Review (Spring 2024) The aroma is initially a bit gritty and grain-forward, with lots of roasted cereal and creamed corn upfront. With time to unwind, silkier notes of butterscotch, vanilla pudding, and peanut butter arrive, but there's still not a ton of depth.
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Barrell Bourbon Cask Finish Series: Mizunara Review This is a deep, rich bourbon. The aroma is dark with molasses, Demerara syrup, and a bold fruitiness alternating between bright, fresh berries and fortified wine. As things open up, some crunchy toffee and pipe tobacco arrive.
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Larceny Barrel Proof Batch B524 Review If any tells you bourbon is too one dimensional, all vanilla and butterscotch, hand them this bottle. It's a veritable fruit salad of flavor and aroma, kicking off with a rich, buttery nose of caramel-covered red apple, soft baking spice, and cocktail cherry.
Australian Single Malt Whiskey Reviews Rare Hare The Tempest Review It's a whisky as impressive for its variety of flavors as for how those flavors develop. Even if I had Bill Gates's bank account, I wouldn't want to drink something like this all the time or casually when I did. I want to think that's by design.
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Elijah Craig 2024 PGA Championship Edition Review Share with Elijah Craig fans, golfing buddies, and Scottie Scheffler, who could probably use a pour or four right about now.
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Smooth Ambler Old Scout 7 Bourbon Review The aroma is warm, with savory notes of saddle leather, oak, dark caramel, and brown butter. The palate shows a bit more sweetness than the nose, but things still skew more toward the wood and spice corners of the flavor wheel.
American Whiskey Reviews Bernheim Barrel Proof Original Wheat Whiskey Batch A224 Review When Heaven Hill added Bernheim Wheat Whiskey to its barrel-proof portfolio early last year, it filled a big market hole. Wheat whiskeys at any proof are rare, but this barrel-proof offering is the only one from a major brand like it.
American Whiskey Reviews Old Elk Infinity Blend 2023 Review The nose on this latest release is expressive and elegant, burly initially with damp oak and cigar box notes that quickly sweeten to cream soda, buttery cinnamon apples, and Little Debbie Oatmeal Pies.
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews George Dickel Bourbon Aged 18 Years Review The price point is nearly disqualifying. And I thought about it for quite a while. But it is an enjoyable older bourbon, and if you can manage to score a half ounce at whatever bar these end up at, it's worth a try, if only to see what Dickel thinks deserves this price tag.
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Heaven's Door Bootleg Series Vol. V Review I might recommend making this your only pour of the night or at least your first. It's a bourbon unlike most anything else on the shelves and requires, dare I say, deserves, some devoted attention.
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Remus Gatsby Reserve Review Remus Gatsby Reserve leads with aromas of caramel, candied dark fruit and saddle leather, with slight brown sugar and very sweet candied notes.
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Wild Turkey Generations Review This bottle is so unique among the Wild Turkey pantheon that it really has to be experienced and shared, and until another release comes along that tastes this good and carries this kind of backstory, I'm going to say, albeit reluctantly, that it's worth the MSRP.
Rye Whiskey Reviews Michter's US*1 Toasted Barrel Finish Rye Review Michter's actually started the whole toasted finish craze back in 2014, but it wasn't until 2017 that the first toasted rye came along. With this latest release, Michter's has kept to three-year intervals (the second release hit shelves in 2020).
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Russell's Reserve Single Rickhouse Camp Nelson F Review Despite an MSRP jump of $50 from last year's already wallet-wounding price point, it's still a helluva bourbon. It's also priced to claim a piece of the secondary market pie.
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Hardin's Creek Boston Review I have to say that of the three expressions, Boston tastes and smells the oldest. The aroma is dense and wood-driven, with notes of rick house, baking chocolate, and damp tobacco.
