I’m not a country music fan, so I hadn’t even heard of Jason Aldean or Florida Georgia Line till the press release for Wolf Moon Bourbon showed up. I had no idea I was signing up for yet another NDP celebrity bottle, but at least this one had some info on the site and the […]

Rossville Union Barrel Proof Rye is made by Luxco at their Ross & Squibb distillery. Which you might also know as MGP, LDI or even the Jos. E. Seagram Distillery. I have no idea how many total names its had since its founding in 1847, but what I do know is that in my drinking […]

This Alias Straight Rye Whiskey comes from the Ross & Squibb distillery (ex-MGP) and uses their 51/45/4 mash. This barely-rye is meant to celebrate the unsung women of distilling’s past who had to use male aliases to run the distillery and do business. We know women played pivotal roles in whiskey history, and have indeed […]

Made from 100% Rye, the Alberta Premium Blended Rye Whisky calls itself a blend because it’s a mix of new charred oak and used cooperage. To what extent that amount is they’re not saying and I wish they would because that word blend can make things a bit confusing. Especially on this side of the […]

Early Times Kentucky Whisky is currently owned by Sazerac, but this little bottle was distilled by Brown-Forman. How do I know? Because Sazerac (Buffalo Trace) bought ET in 2020 and announced it would be produced at their Barton 1792 facility in 2021. This little guy has been sitting in my review cabinet for at least […]

This bottle of Early Times Bourbon is from the 1980s when Early Times was still a bourbon. These days it’s a “Kentucky Whisky” that’s a blend of bourbon and bourbon distillate aged in used cooperage. Which, there’s nothing wrong with that in my mind, I’m glad they’re not dumping GNS in it and instead using […]

The second, but most interesting entrant, into JD’s new Bonded line, is Jack Daniel’s Triple Mash Whiskey. And not just because it’s new, but because it reveals something interesting about Jack I didn’t know. They’ve been playing around with making American Single Malt for at least four years. This Triple Mash is made by blending […]

I’m not the biggest JD fan, so I approached this Jack Daniel’s Bonded Tennessee with some trepidation. I’ve never liked the original Old No. 7 or the Gentleman too much. I have enjoyed some of the single barrels but they vary so wildly in quality so I’ve been hesitant to put any money down on […]

I have a complicated relationship with Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Select and related JD SiB products. Sometimes they’re ok, sometimes they’re terrible and sometimes they’re amazing. The variability in their SiBs seems to be more than any other distillery. This variability is why I’ve steered away from picking one up for review. But then I […]

Bottled around 1976, there is very little online about the St. Dennis Very Special Blended Scotch. And by very little I mean just one other post which is a listing for a bottle of this. A listing that’s selling it for $50. Which, after having tried several bottles of it, is about $100 too much […]
