This J.R. Ewing Private Reserve Bourbon is a celebrity whiskey… for a fictional character. Named after John Ross “J.R.” Ewing Jr., played by Larry Hagman, who was a central character, and primary villain, on the show Dallas. He was such a good villain that TV Guide named him the greatest TV villain of all time. […]

Calumet Farm Bourbon is a sourced whiskey and curiously, it isn’t labeled as a Kentucky Straight Bourbon. It says it’s a “Product of Kentucky”, but that statement doesn’t really have much meaning. It could be sourced from Indiana and Tennessee, blended and bottled in KY and get labeled a “Product of Kentucky”. This is a […]

Ah Bunnahabhain. One of the two distilleries on Islay that buck the peaty line and add to the variety of profiles that come from the little island – Bruichalddich being the other. And like Bruichladdich, it does make some peated expressions, which the Malt Nuts dug into a couple years ago. Though for this tasting […]

Blackened x Willett Rye is a project combining the resources and talents of three men: Drew Kulsveen, Rob Dietrich and Lars Ulrich. Drew provided the whiskey (combination of high rye and low rye whiskeys), Rob supplied the finishing process (wine barrels and “Black Noise”), and Lars sequenced a unique playlist, chosen by Rob and Drew, […]

This is the first in-person tasting the Malt Nuts have done since the pandemic started and we chose it carefully: it was the tasting we were supposed to do the week the world came to a halt. Glen Grant is a fan favorite amongst the group and we’d been talking about this tasting for years. […]

I think it’s fair to say Clynelish is one of our club’s favorite distilleries. We love the waxy fruity delivery and there is no end to the number of indie releases available. This love of the dram + the endless supply means these are easy tastings to assemble and so it’s likely there are even […]

I’m not the biggest fan of Tomatin, so when this Tomatin 14 Years Port Casks was recommended to me I hesitated just a bit. But, in the end, since the people recommending it (Nate and Joel) know a thing or three about whisky, I decided to give it a go. Both have good taste and […]

This Penderyn Portwoood Single Malt inspired another review coming up, after this Penderyn mini-run. It’s another port-finished single malt that came highly recommended by my digital buddies Nate and Joel. But that’s neither here nor there till tomorrow so let’s focus back on this. I’m always a bit leery when it comes to port cask […]

What’s that? You’ve never heard of Invergordon? Well strap in because we’re going deep on this Scottish grain distillery. That’s right, the Malt Nuts are diving into the column distilled pool that’s responsible for the bulk of the whisky produced in Scotland. Single malts get all the attention and praise, but the real workhorse of […]

I’ve been a Penderyn fan for a while and so this small run of reviews has me pretty excited, especially because I get to try this Penderyn Rich Oak Single Malt. To make this whisky they employed both ex-Bourbon and “rejuvenated” (STR) casks in the hopes of bringing more depth to their delicious spirit. If […]
