Heaven Hill 6 Year Bottled-In-Bond Bourbon Review

/

was debating on whether to include Heaven Hill 6 Year Bottled-In-Bond Bourbon in my value bottled in bond series since it is no longer available as of around a few years or so ago. However, since it was definitely a great value, selling for only around $13-15 in its final days and had a bit of a cult following, it seemed to have earned its spot in this line up. This bourbon, affectionately known as “White Label” was a Kentucky only product and was one of the best values in bourbon in its day.

Jim Beam Black Bourbon Review

/

Jim Beam Black Bourbon is an older and slightly higher proof version of Jim Beam “White Label” Bourbon, the number 1 selling bourbon in the world. According to the bottle label: “By giving our classic Jim Beam Black the important added ingredient of time in our charred white oak barrels we discovered the smooth caramel and warm oak notes of this premium extra-aged bourbon. A full-bodied character that’s definitely worth the wait.”

Midway Distilling Rum Finished Rye Review

/

The Midway Distilling Company represents a new line of finished rye whiskeys from Bluegrass Distillers. The rye itself is distilled by none other than MPG of Lawrenceburg, Indiana. That’s not bad at all, since we know MGP makes a great rye. In fact, the rye whiskey used is the good ‘ol 95/5 rye (that’s 95% rye, 5% malted barley); MGP’s hallmark. The rye is aged 4 years, and is then finished at Bluegrass Distillers, in Lexington, KY, in a variety of different barrels.

Jack Daniel’s Heritage Barrel Review

/

Have you had a whiskey that completely changed your mind about a particular distillery? I certainly have! The year was 2018. For me at that time, Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Sour Mash Whiskey represented something that I drank in my younger days… and with Coke. Then came the Jack Daniel’s Heritage Barrel. Little did I know how they had changed over the

Sagamore Spirit 6 Year Rye Review

/

Sagamore Spirit has the goal of reviving rye production in Maryland. Yes, I did say Maryland. At one point, Maryland was a significant producer of whiskey in the US, with the majority of that whiskey being rye. However, rye in general began its demise in the mid 20th century and Maryland Rye soon all but ceased to exist. Until now.

Jim Beam Distillery Tour

/

Have you visited the James B. Beam Distilling Co. (aka the Jim Beam Distillery) recently? They were closed for quite some time during 2020 and 2021, and during that time they were busy doing renovations. Late last year, they opened up again to visitors, and I really love what they have done with the place!

Broken Barrel Bourbon Finished With Stout Staves Review

/

Broken Barrel Whiskey Co has an unusual method of finishing whiskey. Instead of putting the aged whiskey in a second barrel, they put pieces of broken barrels in the whiskey. Their flagship releases are Heresy Rye, California Oak, Bourbon and Cask Strength Bourbon. Broken Barrel uses a variety of different types of barrels to create their finished whiskeys. They refer to this blend of stave pieces as the “Oak Bill”.

Bourbon Distilling: Low Wine

/

Whether distilling a bourbon mash in a pot still or column still, the product of the first distillation is generally called “low wine”. The alcohol content and composition of low wine is significantly different whether using a pot still or a column still. In a pot still, the low wine will generally be around 40-50 proof. However in a column still, as seen here, the proof is usually substantially higher.
