Review: Maker’s 46

Maker’s Mark made only one product for around 50 years before adding a second expression to their offerings. Maker’s 46 was released in 2010, and it’s the same whiskey as normal Maker’s with the only difference: an extra aging process. The whiskey is dumped at the same time as the normal expression (at around 5 or […]

Review: Maker’s Mark

I’ve been on a huge beer kick lately (Beer is booming in Oklahoma if you haven’t noticed), so this is a great Bourbon to get me back in the Bourbon review game. I’ve actually never owned or opened a bottle of Maker’s until this point. And, we actually went to the distillery a few years […]

Review: 405 FDR (2016)

Trae was kind enough to drop off a pre-release bottle of the new batch of FDR for personal consumption, but I decided to just review it in time for the release this week. An interesting brew, they added coffee directly into the boil. I’ve had the opportunity to sample FDR on a few occasions over […]

Review: Feisty Bier Schnapps

When we visited Colorado last fall for our “beercation” we stopped in on a few distilleries to see what Colorado had going on. Feisty Spirits is in Fort Collins and after a few breweries on our bikes we decided to go check them out. We tried lots of things from this promising distillery including this […]

Anthem Pappy Burleson Batch 1 and Batch 2 Vertical Tasting

Ah things from whiskey barrels, those barrels really do make everything better. After the Barrels and Mash team had a meeting to go over the first official event we will be a part of (tease, tease, details will come later), we decided it would be fun to crack some Anthems and discuss future ventures. Justin, […]

Anthem Babalon Batch 1 and Batch 2 Vertical Tasting

I’ve been holding on to an extra rare bottle of the Batch 1 Babalon (release in 2014) for a special occasion. Apparently that special occasion is Kris texting me and saying that we should drink it together. So we did! We popped a 2015 Batch 2 as well for comparison. 2015 saw a much wider release […]

Review: Stranahan’s

Man, I’ve been meaning to write this one for a long time, just look at that pic, the grass was green when I took it for this review! Well today seems like an appropriate to drink and write about Stranhan’s given that it’s produced in Denver and the Broncos are playing in the Super Bowl […]

Review: Four Roses Single Barrel Rural Inn (OESK)

Kris picked this bottle up when he was in Indianapolis for a friend’s wedding. He got into an awesome Bourbon conversation with Ray, the owner of Rural Inn where they talked for like an hour about awesome Bourbon while his friends patiently waited. The link to all of my other Four Roses reviews can be […]

Review: Dead Armadillo Hoppy Ending

A relative newcomer to the Oklahoma craft beer scene, this is our first review of a Dead Armadillo brew. Always a fan of Imperial IPAs, I’m excited to try this one and write up a review. I love the label, with a hop cone curled up into an armadillo shape. The label boasts of 100 […]

Review: Four Roses Single Barrel Astor NYC (OBSV)

This Bourbon was a Christmas present from some of our friends (thanks Zac and Julie!) which they brought back with them from a New York vacation. It’s was specially selected by Astor Wine and Spirits in New York City. It was aged 8 years and 11 months and bottled in March of 2014. It’s from […]
