Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Wild Turkey Diamond Anniversary Bourbon Review Let’s get this out before we go any further – Jimmy Russell doesn’t care for bourbon older than 12 years. So the fact that his son Eddie would create a tribute bourbon that contains a mingling of 12 and 16 year old bourbons may come as a surprise.

I recorded our Jim Beam Single Barrel bourbon review on Sunday night, January 12th, and went to bed thinking about the long history of the Jim Beam brand and how they’ve worked hard over the years to bring American bourbon everyone around the world.
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Cleveland Bourbon Review It seems like a new micro-distillery is opening up every week recently and each and every one that aspires to make bourbon faces the same problem: how can you afford to pay your operating expenses for the years it takes your bourbon to age?
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Rock Hill Farms Bourbon Review This review might strike some people as odd because it’s for a bourbon that was first released over 20 years ago; 1990 to be exact – Rock Hill Farms Single Barrel Bourbon. I don’t know if it was due to a perceived lack of audience, or if it had to do with red tape.
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Belle Meade Bourbon Review I was sitting in a bookstore several months ago reading Garden & Gun when I stumbled across a review for Belle Meade Bourbon. Anytime I see a review for a bourbon I’m not familiar with I take notice.

It also means expectations for this year’s release were set really high.

Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Wild Turkey Rare Breed Bourbon Review When I first started to explore the world of bourbon, I was so clueless the word novice wouldn’t even be appropriate. For example, one of the first bottles of bourbon I purchased was Wild Turkey Rare Breed……before I’d ever even tried 101 or any other Wild Turkey product!
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Mysterious Black & Gold Wax Maker’s Mark Bourbon Review Kicking off the week with a unique guest blog post from Rush Thrift.

Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Russell’s Reserve Single Barrel Bourbon Review At a suggested price of $49.99, Russell’s Reserve Single Barrel Bourbon is roughly $25 more than the original Russell’s Reserve 10 year bourbon. That’s a pretty significant price difference if you compare the two by price only.
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Jefferson’s Bourbon Review – Presidential Select 21 Year Old Almost a month ago, I posted news about Jefferson’s planned April 1st release of their new Presidential Select 21 Year Old bourbon.

Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Knob Creek Single Barrel Reserve Bourbon Review The weather in St. Louis this past week has been pretty crappy. Lot’s of ice and snow.
