Named after Joe Baker’s great-great-great-great-great grandfather, the James Ownby Reserve Tennessee Bourbon is a sourced TN Bourbon bottled by Joe and the team at the Ole Smoky Distillery. Joe, if you didn’t know, is the co-founder of Ole Smoky. When we’re talking about sourced TN Whiskey/Bourbon, there are really only two distilleries it could come […]

When Baker’s first made the switch to a single barrel offering I wasn’t too excited, but this Baker’s Bourbon Exclusive Selection 11 Years might be changing that opinion a bit. For a long time Baker’s was the best-kept Jim Beam secret. This 107 proof small batch bourbon was consistently good, consistently underpriced and always on […]

I dig the look and overall design of the Cedar Ridge Double Barrel Bourbon bottle (not pictured) but when it comes to the actual concept of the whiskey… not so much. I think the whole double barrel thing, for the most part, is a giant waste of resources. It’s a fad that needs to die […]

Cedar Ridge Bottled In Bond Rye is an annual release from the distillery that comes out in July. It doesn’t say on the bottle which season it encompasses, but being a regular summer release I would imagine this is distilled in the fall after the grain harvest and bottled in the spring four+ years later. […]

We’ve hit quite a few classic American Whiskey cocktails already, so I thought it would be nice if we turned our cocktail shakers towards classic Scotch cocktails for a bit and nothing is more classic than the Rob Roy. Created in 1894 at the Waldorf Astoria in NYC as a tribute to an opera of […]

The tenth, and so far final, release in the Private Editions line was the Glenmorangie Allta (2019). Its name translates to wild and is in reference to a unique strain of wild yeast Dr. Bill discovered on their Cadboll barley. After some intense work to cultivate the yeast (Saccharomyces Diaemath) they used it to ferment […]

The ninth release in the Private Editions line was the Glenmorangie Spios (2018). Its name, in Scots Gaelic, means spice, which is perfect for a whisky aged completely in ex-Rye Whiskey barrels. I like when a whisky’s name just simply says what it is. We’re used to ex-Bourbon, and we know ex-rye get in the […]

The eighth release in the Private Editions line was the Glenmorangie Bacalta (2017). Its name means “baked” in Scots Gaelic and is a tribute to the island of Madeira. I enjoy Madeira and love well-done Madeira finished whisky so I was extra excited to sit down with this one. Like most of the PE releases […]
