Yeah yeah, I know i’s a spoiler to give that away, but if you’ve been around bourbon for a while you already knew this one didn’t suck. So… there. To make […]

One part Cascade Hollow column still rye, one part Leopold Bros Three Chamber Rye, 100% unique: George Dickel x Leopold Bros Collaboration Blend Rye. I’m excited to try, but going to lie, I’m more than a little sad that this is how I get to try my first taste of George Dickel rye made at […]

It’s been over four years since we did our last young Laphroaig tasting. The last one was fun, a lot of fun, and so we decided it was time to revisit an Islay favorite.

This 1986 Old Taylor Bottled In Bond was bottled the year before National Distillers was sold to the James B. Beam Distilling Company (Jim Beam, 1987) for $545 million. How do I know this? Well, by using my dusty whiskey bottle dating guide I was able to get it down to 1986 and it being […]

Wild Turkey Master’s Keep One is the sixth entry in the MK line and employs something that keeps gaining steam in the industry, but hasn’t been seen in the rickhouses of Wild Turkey: toasted barrel finishing. Barrel finishing, on the whole, isn’t a super common thing at Wild Turkey, the Revival being the only recent, […]

I enjoyed the 2021, so I’m looking forward to the Barrell Bourbon New Year 2022, the yearly release from Barrell to celebrate the end of one year and usher in the next. Last year I sipped on the 2021 as the clock marched towards midnight on NYE; it felt appropriate to be kicking 2019 to […]

Barrell is the current king of blended bourbons and ryes, and this Barrell Bourbon Batch 30 continues their unapologetic reign. Is every single batch an outstanding, mind blowing experience? No. Is every batch at least tasty and fun? Yes. And that’s the real magic of Barrell. When it comes to their bourbons and ryes you […]

Barrell Seagrass is an American-Canadian blended rye finished in ex-Rum, ex-Madeira and ex-Apricot brandy casks. Separately finished, not consecutively finished; both the American and the Canadian components. If that makes sense skip on down to the next section. If you’re a bit confused, read on. To make the Seagrass, Barrell sourced parcels of rye whiskey […]
