Just when I was losing hope in NDPs, Puncher’s Chance Bourbon shows up to prove that some people still do label their products correctly and don’t employ shady site and bottle copy. The only thing I can throw any real shade at is the design, which looks a bit cheesy and not in the fun […]

Since my first taste in 2014, I’ve been a fan of this series, but I haven’t re-visited it for a review till now with the Jefferson’s Ocean Voyage 24. And while it may have been about 8 years since I sat down for a formal review, I haven’t been a stranger. At whiskey festivals, events, […]

Westland American Single Malt is the classic Westland, the one that started it all. Made from their “signature five-malt barley” mash, this whiskey captured my attention the first time I had it. Which, if I remember right, was at the 2017 Whisky Extravaganza in Los Angeles. I snagged a glass of this American Oak Single […]

Bushmills 12 Years Single Malt is the latest, permanent, release from the venerable distillery. It’s made using a marriage of 11+-year-old ex-Bourbon and ex-Oloroso casks that have been married and finished in ex-Marsala casks for 6-9 months. In a way, it’s like a baby Bushmills 21, or Bushmills 16, but with Marsala instead of Madeira […]

Roe and Co Irish Whiskey is currently sourced, but will soon be made from their own distillate which must be aged for at least 3 years by Irish law. In 2019, Diageo built the distillery inside of the old Guinness power house, which isn’t too far from where the original Roe distillery (Thomas Street Distillery) […]

Wed April 20th, a year and two months after Alfred, I lost my second and last furry friend: Sadie. Just shy of 17-years-old, she was the sweetest dog you could ask for and made human and dog friends everywhere she went. Even when the dogs were barking at her and straining at their leash or […]

Glendalough Double Barrel Whiskey is a single grain whiskey aged in ex-Bourbon and then finished in Oloroso Sherry barrels. I don’t know why they chose to go with Double Barrel instead of sherry finished, seems like an odd marketing choice to me for two reasons. One, in the current American market “double barrel” mostly refers […]

The real emerald in the Irish Whiskey crown are single pot still whiskeys like this Glendalough Pot Still Irish Whiskey. Sure Irish whiskey is known for its light blends and their single malts have been growing in favor, but this is the true Irish Whiskey. Made from a mash of malted and unmalted barley, this […]

Extra aged and finished in ex-Moscatel casks, the Egan’s Legacy Reserve Volume IV 18 Years Single Malt Irish Whiskey is not the kind of Irish Whiskey you see every day. Partially because of the age, but mostly because of the casks. In the pantheon of whisky finishing casks, Moscatel isn’t exactly what you’d call common. […]
