Private Barrel Kentucky Bourbons in Legal Jeopardy

/

January 29, 2022 – Sales of “private selection” barrels by distillers in Kentucky have become popular choices for retailers, bars, restaurants, and even whiskey clubs. However, it turns out that those sales actually violate state liquor regulations in Kentucky, and perhaps even at the federal level. It’s not because sales by the barrel are specifically banned, but because the process of selecting those barrels violates a number of state regulations.

Elvis Rye Whiskey Review

Like the Elvis TN Whiskey, saying Elvis Rye Whiskey feels weird. The King Rye Whiskey would have been a better name. But I get it, if you’re licensing Elvis’ name and image you wanna get your money’s worth and use that name as much as possible. And in as big a font as possible. Though […]

I feel like they should have just called this Elvis Tennessee Whiskey “Tiger Man Whiskey”. It’s a better name and feels a little less… weird.
