Jim Beam is the best selling bourbon in the world, and it’s not really close. Well, that’s true if we count out Jack Daniel’s since it’s a Tennessee Whiskey. According to VinePair, Jim Beam sold 10.7 million cases in 2021. Evan Williams, the next closest, sold 3 million. It’s clear many people out there appreciate…
When I moved to Denver a couple of years ago, all I heard about was craft brewery this, craft beer that, craft, craft, craft….Well I tried most of the beers at most of the breweries and thought 95% of them were pretty bad. However, just a couple hours north, I found some of the best…
Recently, I’ve reviewed a lot of good whiskey. However, a lot of that has been small batch, single barrel, and cask strength options. While that’s going to be your best whiskey, it’s also your more expensive whiskey. So, today we’re going to discuss the top 5 bourbons you can buy for $25, give or take…
After reviewing some not so good spirits, I am desperate to get back to the good stuff. That’s why I’m going with what I think is a fairly safe pick with this Old Forester 1870 review. Old Forester is one of the most popular and celebrated bourbons, and it’s also one of the staple Kentucky…

Liquor.com voted George Dickel Barrel Select as the…

I was wandering the liquor store on the morning of Cinco De Mayo looking for some tequila and beer. I already had the Pacifico’s picked out, and just needed some tequila for margaritas. I was looking for tequila reposado that was reasonably priced, or even cheap. That’s when I came across Don Ramon Tequila Reposado….
Every now and then I like to do a flavored whiskey or vodka review. It’s not something I like to drink neat or on the rocks, but they often make good cocktails, or at least creative ones. I recently reviewed Ole Smoky’s flavored moonshine and thoroughly enjoyed a lot of them. Well, when I saw…
Alright, so today we are trying some budget Canadian whisky. Windsor Canadian Whisky is less than $15 for a full 1.75L handle, and we’re going to find out if it’s any good or not. I don’t expect it to be, but maybe it’s better than Kentucky Deluxe. We’re going to briefly touch upon some history…
I’m disappointed it’s taken me this long to write a review on Four Roses Small Batch Select. They’re a unique whiskey brand that is extremely open and forthcoming about exactly how their whiskey is made and what it’s made of. We’ll touch on more of that in a second. In this Four Roses Small Batch…
I’m not a huge fan of buying Total Wine Spirits Direct whiskey, especially when the store and employees push it in your face so much. I understand why they do it, I understand that they have some pretty good options, I just don’t like it, and I don’t fully trust it. But, I decided to…
