Whiskey, bitters, and sugar. That’s all it takes to make one of the most recognizable and iconic cocktails – the Old Fashioned. It seems easy enough, but you can never get it to taste like it did that one time…. You know what I’m talking about – that one time you ordered it at a…
When we think about vodka, we often think potatoes. But not all vodka is made from potatoes. In fact, very few vodkas are made from potatoes. So, what is vodka made from? Well, vodka is made from pretty much anything. That can be confusing, though. I mean, is corn vodka simply unaged bourbon? If almost…
Blade and Bow Bourbon garnishes a lot of popularity or chatter for its use of solera aging and the distillery it’s from. We’ll touch more on solera aging method and the Stitzel Weller Distillery soon, but our priority here isn’t about the distillery or methods used to craft this bourbon. In this review, our goal…
Surprisingly, I’ve only had Evan Williams Bottled In Bond twice before, and it was a couple of years ago. After writing my article on the top bourbons for $25, I got a lot of comments praising different BiB options, so I figured it was high time I got some reviews out there. I’m starting with…
You would think that a company like Jack Daniel’s would’ve had a bottled in bond expression for decades by now, but that’s not the case. It was only in May of 2022 that Jack Daniel’s Bonded and Jack Daniel’s Triple Mash – both bottled in bond expressions, were released. I’m not a huge fan of…
There are a lot of bourbon drinkers out in the world, but few too many actually know what goes into their bourbon… it’s just bourbon. Well, there are many different types of bourbon with different mashbills, and there are many labels on a bottle of bourbon that signify different things. Being able to differentiate what…
It’s been a minute since I’ve had a glass of Larceny Bourbon, despite what the pictures show… Someone in my house (*cough Zach cough*), likes to drink all of my whiskey before I get the chance to review it. I remember Larceny being pretty solid, but I’ve also never been too huge of a fan…
New Riff Distilling has been popping up more and more over the years, and it’s high time I wrote a review on New Riff Single Barrel Rye. I’m going to have some bias towards New Riff and their whiskeys for a couple reasons. First, they are located just across the River from Cincinnati, which holds…
A decent looking bottle and a great name. That’s all it took for me to pick up a bottle of Chicken Cock Whiskey to review. Chicken Cock Whiskey is sourced from Bardstown Bourbon Co and was first established in 1856. However, they were just revitalized within the last 15 years. I figured all of this…
Today we’re going to be looking at a sourced bourbon that’s growing in popularity. From the same company that brings us Josh Cellars Wine and Redemption Whiskey, we have Bib & Tucker Bourbon, a 6-year-old small batch whiskey. We’re going to cover some of the basics behind Bib & Tucker Bourbon, like who distills it,…
Whiskey is generally sipped, I mean when it comes to good whiskey at least. Tequila is often used in a much more diverse manner. Yeah, the expensive and aged tequila is very good when it’s sipped, the cheap stuff is fine in a marg, but a lot of us… A lot of us drink tequila…
Horse Soldier Bourbon gets a lot of attention, and it’s not necessarily because it’s a good bourbon. Now, it may be good and it may not, that’s what we’re here to find out. The buzz that surrounds Horse Soldier Bourbon is much more likely due to the people behind the bourbon – The Horse Soldiers….
