This is the first time I have reviewed a product from the World Whiskey Society, a relatively well-known bottler of self-proclaimed “ultra-premium” spirits, who is also known for its elaborate packaging and high price points. This particular bottle certainly cannot compete with some of the other WWS releases in terms of overall presentation and if … Continue reading Tasting Notes – Wyatt Earp 13-Year American Single Malt (Hazmat)

We’ve missed, well, four months of monthly picks, but I assure you it is not because we haven’t been drinking whiskey. Quite the opposite, actually!

Visitors to this site know that I am a huge fan of Luxco brands. I’ve picked many barrels from Luxco and I have never been disappointed with the people, the experience, or the whiskey. It should come as no surprise then, that I always keep a watchful eye out for an email from Luxco announcing … Continue reading Tasting Notes: Blood Oath Pact #9

MSL had several new barrel picks come in this month, as well as some new releases, so Jon and I definitely had to put in some work to come up with our recommendations this month. It is hard work, … Continue reading MSL Monthly Picks – May 2023

Well folks, Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, so now we can look forward to six more weeks of winter!
