What started out as a Coffee enterprise in Spain in the early 1900’s managed to make its way to Mexico and, eventually, Houston, Texas. Well, in 2014, Carlos de Aldecoa decided to expand his family’s coffee business into a distillery known as GIANT Distilling Co. They produce whiskey under the name of GIANT, as well…
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….
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…

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.

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…
Months ago I reviewed Smooth Ambler’s Contradiction Bourbon. It was a blend between Old Scout, a wholly sourced whiskey, and their in-house bourbon. I liked it enough, but I wanted to try the two whiskeys separately. So, today we’re reviewing Smooth Ambler Old Scout. We’ll touch on all the details next before we jump into…
Elijah Craig is one of the most notable whiskeys on the market. When you say Elijah Craig everyone, even non-whiskey drinkers, knows what you’re talking about. However, they’re likely thinking of Elijah Craig Bourbon, not Elijah Craig Rye. Elijah Craig has been around for hundreds of years, but Elijah Craig Rye was just released in…
Leopold Bros is a Denver based distillery (I live just outside of Denver), and I’ve enjoyed their whiskey a couple times over the years. I’ll be going for a tour of the distillery soon, and will update the article after I do. For now, we’re going to focus on Leopold Bros Small Batch American Whiskey….
I love trying whiskey from different states and regions from the US – especially when they are actually distilled in that state and not sourced (not that I have anything against sourced whiskey). I saw Iowa No 9 whiskey sitting on the shelf, and I don’t believe I’d ever had Iowa whiskey before, so I…
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…
I’ve reviewed regular ol’ Jack Daniels, Jack Daniels Single Barrel Select, and JD Bonded, but I’ve never covered Gentleman Jack. It’s my Dad’s go-to whiskey drink, so I’ve had my fair share of it, which is possibly why I’ve passed on it when it comes to my reviews. We’re going to cover the tasting notes…
I’ve been living around the Denver area for a couple years now, and I’m not but 20 minutes away from Downslope Distilling in Centennial, CO, but I’d never been to their distillery. I’ve had their whiskey once or twice throughout the years, but I figured it was time to stop in and really check out…
