Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Dads Drinking Bourbon Willett Family Estate Bourbon Review I’ve been a fan of Willett for several years going back to when they were releasing sourced barrels, so it’s been interesting watching them transition into their own distillate.
Rye Whiskey Reviews Luca Mariano Small Batch Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey Review Like the Bourbon, this is just not enough proof to get me excited. It’s especially disappointing knowing first-hand what the 4-5 year old Rye from Wilderness Trail (who contract distills this) can be at cask strength.
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Luca Mariano Old Americana Small Batch Bourbon Review I’m a fan of the folks who are currently making this on contract at Wilderness Trail. Unfortunately, what started as good bourbon has been watered down to 83 proof and all the character went with it.
On The Road Castle & Key Distillery – Worth the Wait and the Cost Recently we shared a series of whiskey reviews for Coppercraft Distillery that incorporated a unique three person review format. Each whiskey review contained three separate set of tasting notes and observations.
Book Reviews Booze and Vinyl Book Review Ok, so a little tease using our bourbon review format but what is this book all about? It’s a fun way to approach pairing cocktails and music. It takes things a little over the top but if you are going to throw a listening party I think this offers a nice blueprint to follow.
American Whiskey Reviews Sunshine Reserve American Whiskey Review he notes from the distiller tell us that they bake the barrel staves instead of charring. That explains the Malty flavor and nose. The 4 Grain Mash bill primarily made of Oats also adds a fair amount of sweetness. It was a little too sweet for my taste and underproof.
Banter The Biology of your Buzz We all have that friend. The one that insists on telling you that they only drink beer because whiskey gets them too drunk. Or, I stick to vodka because tequila makes me crazy.
On The Road Sipping Bourbon at Four Roses A quick history lesson before we dive into our visit. Four Roses was started in 1888. In 1943, when Seagram’s purchased the company, they decided to stop selling in the US market to focus on Europe and Asia.
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Four Roses 2017 Small Batch Limited Edition Al Young’s 50th Anniversary Bourbon Review I loved the throwback design for the bottle and label. I am a fan of Four Roses and have a reasonable (depending on who you ask) collection of their Private Barrel selections.
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Lusty Claw Bourbon Review The website calls this “Not only one of the world’s best bourbons, Lusty Claw is one of the World’s best whiskey’s”. What it should say is “We know the stuff in the bottle is terrible so we spent all of our money on a really cool bottle.”

Banter Shhhh…There Might Just Be A Bourbon Bubble Shhhh, don’t speak of this loudly. Nobody will admit it anyway so it’s probably not worth mentioning. There might just be a bourbon bubble. What?!?! No way. This is just getting started. We haven’t even reached the distilling levels of the 70’s!
Banter Bourbon FoMO – Fear of Missing Out I’ve heard a fairly common theme amongst bourbon enthusiasts lately. “I have to grab everything I can because there is far more demand than there are good bottles available.”
Banter When It Comes To Bourbon: You Can’t Always Get What You Want You know the feeling. You hear from a buddy that ABC Liquor store got a case of Elmer T Lee. You drop what you are doing and rush to the store. Walking in you notice someone walking out with a square bottle in a brown paper bag.
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Rebellion Bourbon Review These days it is getting more and more difficult to figure out what to try when you are feeling a little adventurous in the Bourbon aisle. There is the temptation to go back to the brands and bottles you know and love.
