A variation on the classic Manhattan, the Preakness cocktail is an herbaceous and delicious cocktail that’s easy to make. The name of the cocktail comes from an annual horse race, the Preakness Stakes, and I guess is meant to symbolize a day at the track; tasting the sweetness of victory (vermouth) and the bitterness of […]

One part Cascade Hollow column still rye, one part Leopold Bros Three Chamber Rye, 100% unique: George Dickel x Leopold Bros Collaboration Blend Rye. I’m excited to try, but going to lie, I’m more than a little sad that this is how I get to try my first taste of George Dickel rye made at […]

Barrell Seagrass is an American-Canadian blended rye finished in ex-Rum, ex-Madeira and ex-Apricot brandy casks. Separately finished, not consecutively finished; both the American and the Canadian components. If that makes sense skip on down to the next section. If you’re a bit confused, read on. To make the Seagrass, Barrell sourced parcels of rye whiskey […]

It’s that “most wonderful time of the year” again. So, what am I reaching for this holiday season? You guessed it – Wild Turkey 101 Rye. My affection for Wild Turkey 101 Rye as a Christmastime pour is well documented. There’s just something magic…
I hope you enjoy my Jack Daniel’s Barrel Proof Rye Review! This is an excellent rye. There’s a warm fuzzy feeling that can’t be denied. How the fruit flavors linger through the very long finish and at this crazy high proof for a rye is just a mystery. But a mystery I have no desire to solve. Let’s just let Jack be Jack and enjoy what they give us.

Please enjoy my Old Forester Barrel Strength Rye Review! It seems like eons ago, but Old Forester introduced their first rye in 2019. It is a Kentucky rye, which generally has a much lower percentage of rye in the mash bill than the classic Indiana 95/5 rye that we all know and love. Often the rye content is very close to 51%, which is the legal minimum. Old Forester took a bit of a different approach, using a bit more rye, and then quite a bit of malted barley, giving its rye a unique character.
