There’s a huge supply of MGP rye whiskey available under a number of different brand names – one of which is Rossville Union. Some whiskey drinkers may be tired of sourced MGP bottlings, but there’s a reason MGP is so popular, they make good whiskey. Today, we’re going to figure out if Rossville Union Single…
We all know the different liquors, at least most of us know the main ones. You’ve got whiskey, rum, vodka, tequila. But it’s not really that simple, and what actually separates these? What are the differences between something like tequila from say whiskey? In this article, we’ll discuss the legal differences between whiskey and tequila,…
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,…
I’ve drunken a lot of whiskey in my days, but Japanese whisky is really an untapped category for me. I mean, I’ve had my fair share of American whiskeys and bourbon, I’ve got a long ways to go when it comes to Irish and Scotch whisky, but I’ve only had a few sips of Japanese…
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…
Founded in 2012 out of Brooklyn, NY by Daniel Preston, Widow Jane has changed hands a couple of times. The brand was purchased by Samson & Surrey which was then purchased by Heaven Hill.Widow Jane is named after a limestone mine in Rosendale, NY. Their water source is from around the Widow Jane mine that…
I have individually reviewed every Johnnie Walker from Red Label to Blue Label (Red, Black, Double Black, Green, Gold, 18 Year, Blue). Now, I had an idea of which was best, or at least my favorite. I also had an idea of which was worst, or my least favorite. However, you can’t truly escape your…
We’ve made it through the whole Johnnie Walker lineup to arrive at our final whisky, Johnnie Walker Blue Label. Blue Label is the most expensive of the series (Not counting Blue King George V). A 750ml bottle will cost you upwards of $200, but we’ve settled for a $70 200ml bottle. Is Johnnie Walker Blue…
I don’t drink as much barrel finished whiskey as I’d like to. Barrel finishing adds to a whiskey, but sometimes the addition is for the better, and sometimes it makes the whiskey worse. Regardless, trying different barrel finished whiskeys is always fun and enjoyable for me. So, today we’re taking a look at Ammunition Rye…
I’m continuing on with my journey to review all of the Johnnie Walker whiskies in their core lineup (with the exception of a few). We’ve reached our 2nd to last whisky in the series, Johnnie Walker 18. What was once Johnnie Walker Gold 18 Year transformed into two whiskies – Johnnie Walker Platinum and Johnnie…
This bottle was supplied to us for a review free of charge. I’ll try to be as unbiased as possible, but a free bottle of whiskey always tastes better than one you pay for. As you can tell, there are a lot of unknowns with the actual spirit that goes into a bottle of Von…
