All things Bourbon, produced here in America. Best cheap bourbon, small batch, and single barrel. Our focus tends to be on smaller, craft bourbon. We believe that’s where you find the best value and the most interesting whiskey.
Not all that long ago I reviewed Heaven’s Door Single Barrel Cask Strength Bourbon. I thought it was a very good and reasonably priced cask strength bourbon. Well, today we’re back looking at three of their signature whiskeys – Revival, Refuge, and Revelation – a straight bourbon, a straight rye, and a double barreled whiskey….
Wild Turkey is one of the most popular and respected whiskeys around. That’s largely due to Master Distiller and Bourbon Hall of Famer Jimmy Russel. If you look at many lists of best budget bourbons, you’ll see a whole lot of people recommend Wild Turkey 101. For just $25 or less, you’ll be able to…
Since moving to Colorado in 2020, all I’ve heard from Denverites is how cool and fun the breweries are. There are a lot of them, and people love going to hang out at them. They are fun…. but in my experience, the beers aren’t that great. Over the years, though, I’ve come to explore more…
My first review of 2024 is a brand that I’m very familiar with – I know the name, I see it all the time, I know people tend to say good things about it – yet I’ve never actually had it before. Today we’re talking Early Times Bottled in Bond, or BiB. Now, I’ll discuss…
A simple google of Willett Pot Still Bourbon will bring up a lot of controversy and a lot of rumors, too. I’m going to address the facts first, and then I’ll throw out an opinion – maybe even a little speculation, too. At the end of the day, the most important thing we’re going to…
Almost two years ago I reviewed the Balcones lineup, and I recall thinking it was unique but average. Honestly, though, I’m not sure I really knew what I was talking about, for I was just beginning my whiskey journey. Fast forward to now and I have my level I whiskey certification and I’ve tried hundreds…
There are all types of whiskey out there, and it can be confusing with what is and what isn’t whiskey – or with what type of whiskey something is. When it comes down to it, though, the three most popular types of whiskey in the world are bourbon, scotch, and Irish whiskey. Not only are…
There are all kinds of celebrity spirits out there. Some are started by celebrities – with a lot of help from people who know what they’re doing – and others are more collaboration. Obviously, Wild Turkey Longbranch is owned and distilled by Wild Turkey, by way of the Campari Group. It is, however, crafted by…
One of our go-to whiskeys is Clyde May’s Rye, which I reviewed over a year ago now. It also made our list of our 8 Best Whiskeys to use for an Old Fashioned. It’s safe to say that we really enjoy Clyde May’s. Well, now that we have our hands on a bottle of their…
I recently reviewed Widow Jane Paradigm Rye, and I loved it. It was a blend of Widow Jane’s in-house distilled whiskey with MGP and a KY distillery. I liked it so much that I decided to try Widow Jane 10 Year Bourbon – their standard offering, a blend of bourbons aged 10 years. First off,…
Over a year ago, I reviewed Blue Note Juke Joint Bourbon, and I really liked it. To this day, I recommend Blue Note Juke Joint to people looking for a good ~$30 bottle of whiskey. I have my suspicions that the single barrel version of Juke Joint – Uncut – will be even better. I’m…
When it comes to whiskey, we often think bourbon, scotch, and Irish whiskey. Throw in a little blended Canadian whisky like Crown, and you’ve covered all your bases. Well, not quite. Japanese Whisky has been one of the most popular types of whiskey in the recent years. Today, we’re talking about a “bourbon” – Legent…
