Review: 2016 Parker’s Heritage 24 Year Bottled-in-Bond

We spent a good portion of last Sunday hanging out with our whiskey friends Steve and Cas from the Hearts2Tails Podcast. We talked about whiskey, we drank whiskey, and generally we just shot the shit for like 3 hours (don’t worry, the episode isn’t that long). While planning what we wanted to discuss on the show […]

Review: Virginia Black American Whiskey

I’d like to start by confessing some things: I listen to a lot of hip-hop. Like, a whole lot. I love it. I’ve never listened to a Drake song. In fact, the only thing I know about Drake is that he was in that fucked up Sprite commercial where his body splits apart revealing a bunch of music equipment with […]

Drink Smart: The Hudson Whiskey Flight at Pub W

Starting Thursday, September 1st, Pub W will be offering a new whiskey flight, and this time it will be 3 whiskeys from the Hudson line. Before you go read all the sweet facts and things below, you should head on over there, order up a flight, then read along whilst you sip. You’ll even find […]

Review: Old Grand-Dad Bonded

Old Grand-Dad is named for Basil Hayden. He created his distillery in 1840 and it’s changed hands many times, but today it’s owned by Beam Suntory. Back in its day it was the number one bottled-in-bond Bourbon, though it is unsure if this is the same recipe as that one. “Of the many bourbon brands […]

Wild Turkey is Alright, Alright, Alright

Last Tuesday a teaser was posted to Wild Turkey’s social media channels stating the following: “Change is coming to Wild Turkey on August 1st. But don’t worry, we’re not talking about the bourbon.” Most people posting comments on the vague statement still seemed to believe it would be about the bourbon, its packaging, or the retirement […]

Review: Elmer T. Lee

Elmer T. Lee does get shipped to Oklahoma, but somehow it has managed to evade us…until now. Good thing I’ve got friends in high places, well, geographically more north than me anyway. I ended up trading one of my paintings for this Bourbon and a couple of Cantillons. So, it’s quite the win/win situation. Thanks, […]

Review: Four Roses Elliott’s Select

This bottle marks the first limited edition release from Brent Elliott, the new master distiller of Four Roses. He took over from Jim Rutledge roughly a year ago. Breaking Bourbon did a really cool interview with him, which you can check out here. The way Four Roses does their mash bills is very interesting and […]

Review: Kentucky Vintage

We’ve reviewed a handful of things from Willett, so when I saw this the other day in Texas, I had to purchase it just out of curiosity. Plus, it’s fairly cheap. Feast your peepers on some of our other Kentucky Bourbon Distiller/ Willett reviews here! Side note: This bottle was incredibly hard to open. I […]

Review: Booker’s Rye

I’m not sure how to start this one other than by saying that I’m nervous. I’ve never been nervous while writing a review, and to be honest it’s not a great feeling. It’s early on a peaceful Sunday afternoon, I’m sitting on a comfy couch, the dogs are sleeping on the floor, and Kate is reading a book while relaxing […]

Barrels and Mash Field Trip: Prairie Wolf Spirits

Picture this: it’s early Saturday afternoon, it’s a three day weekend, Kate and I have nothing to do until later in the evening, and Justin has to kill some time while his wife has a girls-only baby shower. What a perfect day to make a trip up to Guthrie to hang out with the guys […]
