Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Maker’s 46 Bourbon Review When I was first getting into bourbon people talked about how wheated bourbons were sweeter and softer than rye.

Bourbon Whiskey Reviews J. T. S. Brown Bottled in Bond Bourbon Review I’d noticed J. T. S. Brown sitting on the bottom shelf of my favorite local liquor store and couldn’t figure out why it sounded familiar. After a little research, I went back and bought a bottle. That quote right there is a good enough reason for me to try a bourbon.

Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Wild Turkey Diamond Anniversary Bourbon Review Let’s get this out before we go any further – Jimmy Russell doesn’t care for bourbon older than 12 years. So the fact that his son Eddie would create a tribute bourbon that contains a mingling of 12 and 16 year old bourbons may come as a surprise.
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews OYO Bourbon Review: Michelone’s Reserve Since the last Ohio-based bourbon made me ashamed of my home state, I was eager to review Middle West Spirits‘ OYO Bourbon Whiskey, hoping to prove that the Buckeye State is not completely ignorant in the world of whiskey.

Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Jefferson’s Bourbon Review: Presidential Select 30 Year Old Earlier this week I reviewed Jefferson’s Bourbon Presidential Select 25 Year Old after receiving some tasting samples from Castle Brands in January.

Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Jim Beam Single Barrel Bourbon Review It’s amazing what can happen overnight. I recorded our Jim Beam Single Barrel bourbon review on Sunday night, January 12th, and went to bed thinking about the long history of the Jim Beam brand and how they’ve worked hard over the years to bring American bourbon everyone around the world.
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Cleveland Bourbon Review It seems like a new micro-distillery is opening up every week recently and each and every one that aspires to make bourbon faces the same problem: how can you afford to pay your operating expenses for the years it takes your bourbon to age?

I don’t know if it was due to a perceived lack of audience, or if it had to do with red tape.
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Belle Meade Bourbon Review I was sitting in a bookstore several months ago reading Garden & Gun when I stumbled across a review for Belle Meade Bourbon. Anytime I see a review for a bourbon I’m not familiar with I take notice.
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Big House Bourbon Review Big House Bourbon – Whisky for those on the inside. Wow, what a great name and tagline. As a marketing professional, I have to admit that I was immediately impressed with the branding of Big House bourbon and the quality of their materials.
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Four Roses 2013 Limited Edition Small Batch Bourbon Review It was quite an honor for Four Roses to have their 2012 Limited Edition Small Batch bourbon named the 2012 “American Whiskey of the Year” by Whisky Advocate. It also means expectations for this year’s release were set really high.
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Jim Beam Signature Craft Bourbon Review Earlier this summer Jim Beam was kind enough to send us samples of Jim Beam’s Signature Craft series featuring a 12 Year and a Rare Spanish Brandy bourbon.

Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Wild Turkey Rare Breed Bourbon Review When I first started to explore the world of bourbon, I was so clueless the word novice wouldn’t even be appropriate. For example, one of the first bottles of bourbon I purchased was Wild Turkey Rare Breed……before I’d ever even tried 101 or any other Wild Turkey product!
