“From time to time, our Master Distiller selects a few exceptional barrels of our 10 Bourbon recipes to become Limited Edition releases. These special releases are barrel strength and non-chill filtered, so you get to savor them exactly as they come out of the barrel. We hope you look for them, find them and enjoy […]
Read more "Review: Four Roses Limited Edition Small Batch 2015"Released every September, all the barrels used to create this bourbon are from a single day’s production. This year only 13,200 were released, making it very hard to find. Kris traded an Elijah Craig 18 year for this (and delicious samples) for my birthday, what a great guy! “This particular lot of barrels is unusual […]
Read more "Review: Old Forester Birthday Bourbon 2015"Found this guy at a liquor store when we were in Colorado on vacation and I couldn’t pass it up. Definitely, had to buy it and see if/how it is different that the 2006 Vintage. This bottle was barreled on 2-17-05, barrel no. 460, and bottled on 2-23-15. For more info on the distillery or […]
Read more "Review: Evan Williams Single Barrel Vintage 2005"Heck yeah a barrel aged quad from Anthem, and aged in used Festivus barrels, no less. I was uplifted by the inspirational words about the “Domestique,” the team player who only cares about the benefit of the group, and also uplifted by this boozy 10% ABV gem. Get your hands on one immediately if you […]
Read more "Review: Anthem Domestique"You don’t see a whole lot of English style beers being brewed in the state, but Black Mesa decided early on to make this one of its flagship year-round beers. They also make a double strength version, and at some point they aged it in cognac barrels. I didn’t get to sample that one, unfortunately. […]
Read more "Review: Black Mesa Endless Skyway Bitter"Black Mesa has been making inroads into the Oklahoma beer game, especially with their limited one-off coffee stouts. This Kölsch is one of their year round staple brews. The Kölsch style is definitely not one of the first styles I reach for, but I hadn’t tried one in ages and was craving a little Euro […]
Read more "Review: Black Mesa Kölsch"Los Naranjos Coffee Stout is the 3rd collaboration between Black Mesa Brewing and Elemental Coffee Roasters of Downtown OKC. For the past few years I’ve basically lived off of Elemental’s Purusha, so sign me up when a local brewery teams up with them for an adjunct. Black Mesa was nice enough to invite us to the launch […]
Read more "Review: Black Mesa Los Naranjos"Troy & Sons is named for Troy Ball and her three sons. She and Charlie, her husband, started by making moonshine. “She’s the fourth female distillery owner in the country, and the first to make moonshine” according to Garden and Gun, you can read the whole article here. “Blonde starts with heirloom Turkey Red Wheat […]
Read more "Review: Blonde Whiskey"Anthem’s second batch of Babalon just hit the shelves, and man have I been ready for this one. I wasn’t fortunate enough to get any of last year’s incredibly limited run, so I made sure to grab a few of these to compensate. I would love to tell you I was sitting here rocking a […]
Read more "Review: Anthem Babalon"On a recent visit to Colorado, Kate and I hit up Laws Whiskey House for a tour, and it blew away the other distilleries we visited. The tour guide was phenomenal, and the distillery has a great, honest feel to it, which can be hard to find these days. After having a successful run in the […]
