Once only available if you “knew a guy”, this dram with the well-worn ABV is now available to the general market: Maker’s Mark 101 Proof.

It may be hard to believe, but as of today this blog is officially five years old. Was I confident I had five years of Wild Turkey articles in me when I began? No, but it was fun. Thankfully, it’s still fun and very much rewarding. I’ve come a long way…
This release consists of three different bottles, labeled batches 15.1, 15.2, and 15.3 respectively.
Rounding out this run of Old Forester is THE most requested whiskey review for the site: Old Forester 1920 Prohibition Style. Clocking in at 115 proof, it’s the highest proof of the “new” core which seems at odds with something referencing prohibition. Though once you dig in, it makes a bit more sense.

I hope you enjoy my Maker’s Mark CommUNITY Batch Review! This is will be the second year that The LEE Initiative and Maker’s Mark have released the CommUNITY Batch.

I hope you enjoy my American Highway Reserve Bourbon Review! Brad Paisley has a new bourbon and it’s called American Highway Reserve. Its niche is that one its components had some of its aging while stored in a 53-foot semi-trailer that followed his 2019 nation-wide tour.

This 600 mile trip gave me plenty time to think about the history of Western Pennsylvania whiskey.

Sitting down to think about the order of this review series, I considered kicking things off with this Old Forester 1870 Original Batch. It’s the modern update to the base release that kicks the proof up a touch. Seemed like a good place to start, but looking at the full lineup I had in front […]

This isn’t the first Old Forester Single Barrel I’ve reviewed, but it is the first one I bought. Bought it, put it in the back of a closet and then forgotten about till I packed up my crap, moved out of Los Angeles and up to the mountains. I discovered a lot of things I […]
