Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Still Austin High Rye Bourbon Review This bourbon is a multitasker, great neat, on the rocks, or in an old-fashioned. To make room for a little air in the bottle, I made three old-fashioneds for my guests. That they took notice of their drinks as "really good and spicy" says they caught on to this bourbon's difference.
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Still Austin Red Corn Bottled-In-Bond Bourbon Review The palate is simple, lovely, sweet, and oaky. It’s what bourbon at its simplest should be. No surprises, no disappointments, just goodness that’s so easy to drink that you extend your arm for a refill—before you need a refill.
Rye Whiskey Reviews Michter's US*1 Toasted Barrel Finish Rye Review Michter's actually started the whole toasted finish craze back in 2014, but it wasn't until 2017 that the first toasted rye came along.

Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Batch C923 Review The nose on this goes for days ... bitter chocolate, clover honey, oak, mincemeat pie, lavender, dried roses, chamomile, leather jacket and cooked apples. It's warm from front to back to down the hatch, but it drinks nowhere near its 133 proof.
Flavored Whiskey Reviews Jefferson's Pumpkin Patch Bourbon Review I really don’t think you can go wrong with this bottle. Whether you’re embracing your inner white girl or are just one of those adults who is way too into Halloween, this bottle is not to be missed. If you can snag a bottle, definitely do it!
Tennessee Whiskey Reviews Jack Daniels 12-Year Tennessee Whiskey Review The 12-year is a whiskey of tremendous complexity, character and texture, and the 10-year (review forthcoming) is barely less arresting. This Jack is mannerly, wizened, confident and worthy of standing alongside any American whiskey on a back bar.
American Whiskey Reviews Jack Daniel's American Single Malt Whiskey Review The nose and fish oil tablet flavor remind me distinctly of the malt whiskey made years ago by Jack's Brown-Forman kin, Woodford Reserve. I didn't come 'round to it then and haven't this time either.
Rye Whiskey Reviews Very Olde St. Nick Ancient Cask Rye: Faith + Conviction Review The rye spice launches like a honey-lemon toddy upfront before exploding like fireworks on the back palate. In it's wake is a trail of spice, demerara syrup and honey all the way down the throat.
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Remus Repeal Reserve VII Review The aroma is not immediately as big or complex as Series V or VI, requiring some time to suss out the nuance and depth. It doesn't take long though before notes of dark caramel, black cherry, and pecan pie rise out of the glass, offering up a rich, classic bourbon bouquet.

Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Four Roses 135th Anniversary Limited Edition Review When I finished the Zoom tasting, I was skeptical about the 25-year-old whiskey in the final blend.

American Whiskey Reviews Whiskey JYPSI Legacy Batch 001 Review It's been a long time since I was surprised by a whiskey. And a celebrity whiskey has never impressed me. But damn, as much as I was ready to tell you how underwhelmed I was with this bottle, that's not the case.
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Larceny Barrel Proof Bourbon A123 Review Larceny is a wheater that gets too little attention in my opinion. Even the “Wheated bourbon only because I like wheat only” crowd doesn’t seem to go for it. Given the 92-proof of its flagship, I get it; it’s a softy.
Northcross Triple Wood Irish Whiskey Review Rich on the nose, this whiskey has aromas of graham cracker and honey. Once sipped, the sweetness of the malt is immediately present with flavors of chocolate syrup and beignets, before giving way to the tastes of creamy butterscotch and lively orange zest.

Rye Whiskey News Ragtime Rye Bottled-in-Bond Whiskey Review While New York Distilling Company’s standard rye expression is only aged for 3 years and lacks the punch to capture a serious whiskey enthusiast’s attention, their 4-year Ragtime Rye Bottled-In-Bond Whiskey offering is here to pick up the slack.
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Ben Holladay Bottled-In-Bond Bourbon Review So, in March, when Noelle Hale reached out to me to tell me all about Holladay Distillery in Missouri, I expected more of the same. Of course, it all begins with a story, doesn’t it?
Rye Whiskey Reviews Michter’s 2022 US*1 Barrel Strength Rye Whiskey Review Michter’s 2022 US*1 Barrel Strength Rye Whiskey is a great whiskey. Always has been and, hopefully, always will be when Michter’s own maturate from its Louisville plant is bottled in the future.
Rye Whiskey Reviews New Riff Sherry Finished Malted Rye Whiskey Review The success of New Riff’s 5-year Malted Rye release in 2021 gave its team an idea: Finish this vibrant whiskey in 12, custom-made 53-gallon oloroso and Pedro Ximenez casks for a year, then vat the whiskey from each for another six months.
