Hailing from one of my favorite distilleries, the George Dickel Bottled In Bond Spring 2007 13 Years is exactly what its name says it is. And I love that. No surprises, no having to play detective, no having to rant. Just whiskey. Honest, straight up, easy to discern, and know what you’re drinking, whisky – […]

By Randall H. Borkus Rating: A+ Michter’s 10 Year Old Single Barrel Rye is a regular, annual limited release. It is also a favorite at The Whiskey Reviewer; Richard Thomas and Kurt Maitland both swear by it. Although perhaps not as over-obsessed about as Thomas H. Handy or Sazerac 18 Year Old, it sounds like …
By Richard Thomas Rating: A Among the Kentucky Majors, Heaven Hill has the strongest reputation for wheat whiskey, built on their 2005 introduction of Bernheim Original Wheat Whiskey. That was years before anyone even spoke of a craft whiskey sector, which is where most of Heaven Hill’s competition in this department comes from. The only …
The Octomore 12.3 closes us out on this year’s Octomore releases, and what a way to end it. Made from a mix of ex-Bourbon (75%) and ex-PX (25%) casks, this whisky is something of an anomaly in the Bruichladdich world because of its use of sherry. They don’t avoid it because they don’t like it, […]

Please enjoy my McFarlane’s Reserve Bourbon Review! This is another enigmatic bourbon from the IJW Whiskey Company. I had posted about them and their first releases, the First Call line of whiskeys, way back in March.

Next up is the Octomore 12.2, which starts with 50% of the spirit being aged in 1st-fill ex-Bourbon casks and 50% in 2nd-fill ex-Bourbon casks. After about 3 years of maturation in these casks, the spirit was blended together and left to marry, mature and finish for about 2 years in 1st-fill ex-Sauternes casks. This […]

Fall brings a lot of things, but if you’re a peat-freak, it means just one thing: Octomore. And we’re kicking off the season with a look at the new Octomore 12.1. Made from 100% Scottish Concerto barley, this 5-year-old whisky holds nothing back with its 130.8 PPM and 59.9% ABV. Aged entirely in first-fill ex-bourbon […]

Normally I’d avoid a product like this Breckenridge Bourbon Whiskey, A Blend, but it came as part of a kit for an online cocktail event I signed up for. Why would I avoid a product like this you ask? Because the label is so riddled with problems you have no idea what you’re actually drinking. […]

This Five Brothers Bourbon is a new, KY-only, bourbon from Heaven Hill. It’s available at their gift store and select retailers in KY. I haven’t visited Heaven Hill yet, so I didn’t get this on a trip, it was sent to me by the good folks at HH to get my thoughts and opinions on. […]

This Evan Williams 1783 Small Batch is the updated release of the original 1783. Sporting both a new bottle and a new, higher, proof, this is a surprising change. When I heard it was getting revamped, I thought it would be going from 43% to 40% and get some ugly, ultra-modern design. Instead, we got […]
