Every year, the folks at Westland put together something special with their Garryana releases; Westland Garryana Edition 6 is no different. Just taking a look at the casks used, and considering the cask management and blending experiments that took place to get to this exact whiskey is an impressive endeavor to think about. They pull […]

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. Sitting in a comfy spot between the standard Maker’s and the Maker’s Cask Strength, this could be seen as a middle ground or a stepping stone between the two. Almost […]

By Richard Thomas Rating: B+ About a month ago, Brown-Forman brought a pair of Benriach whiskies across The Pond and to American Shores, these named for two seasonal practices of the distillery.

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 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 […]
