By Richard Thomas St. Patrick’s Day falls on Monday the 17th this year, so the party will begin on the preceding weekend. But the trickle of new Irish Whiskeys began entering the market in February, to get the word and the product out in time for the emerald holiday. So it is with the latest …
Jack Daniel’s 14 Year Old Tennessee Whiskey Review (2025)
By Richard Thomas Rating: A+ All through the Bourbon Boom, the Jack Daniel’s company men in Lynchburg and Louisville were resistant to the idea of putting age statements on Mr. Jack’s whiskey.

Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Bourbon Review (A125)
By Richard Thomas Rating: A- The new batch of Elijah Craig Barrel Proof is now in circulation, and as soon as I scrutinized the label on my bottle I saw something that I knew would surely excite croaking in certain corners: the age statement for A125 is 10 years, 7 months. The croakers were not …

By Richard Thomas Rating: B+ For the last decade, Pappymania has crowded out enthusiast attention for wheated bourbons not made at a certain riverside distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky. As Pappy Van Winkle gained popular renown, extending outside bourbon circles, a fever started building. First that fever swept up the other wheated bourbons (the Weller bourbons) …
