  • Brook Hill Rye "Fresco" Review - Tasting Through 11 Year Short Barrel 1709

    Admittedly, I've also turned to dusties, as many of us do when the same-old gets same-old. Long inhales let you know this is aged to perfection: aromas of old, creaky floorboards, good diner coffee Coming back from a sip reveals aromas of the verdant spring forests of the Pacific Northwest after a

  • Barrel Picking at ASW Distillery - An Introduction to Fiddler Soloist & Resurgens Port Finished Rye

    Coming back to the nose I find dank aromas the might turn up in an old horse barn. The empty glass smells of banana bread, toffee and an old knick knack store with handmade candles. The empty glass smells of nilla wafers, oiled wood and camping in a pine forest. Overall I'm impressed by the heavy funk all throughout this balanced by the youthful exuberance of a the old I'd recommend the Soloist pick for folks who enjoy Chattanooga Whiskey, Maker's 46, and Old Elk Bourbon

  • Blue Run Emerald Rye Whiskey Review

    Old Kentucky barrel funk surprises me here - this blend couldn't be all that old, but it sure smells glass is light for barrel proof; it hangs there sweet but potent like an early Summer spent near a pine forest It's bright, inviting and everything I would love to share with whiskey drinking friends new and old.

  • 2017 Pappy Van Winkle 23 Year Wheated Bourbon Review

    Company on Label: Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery (Buffalo Trace) Whiskey Type: Wheated Bourbon Mash Bill The empty glass smells of soft wildflowers, burnt pine forest and dry dirt.

  • 2023 Van Winkle Family Reserve Rye Review - An Exploration of the Rare 13 Year "Pappy Van Winkle" Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey

    The exception to that rule seems to be Old Rip Van Winkle 10 year bourbon, which drinks remarkably close I have gone as far as to blind taste Old Rip in a Weller flight and couldn't rightly discern which one I liked better: the Old Rip or Antique 107, notably bottled at the same proof. Company on Label:  Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery (Buffalo Trace) Whiskey Type:  Kentucky Straight Rye muddled mint, milk chocolate, Angostura bitters, and just a kiss of tobacco enjoyed in a reserved Winter forest

  • Booker's 2022-01 "Ronnie's Batch" Bourbon Review

    Something about it tastes fairly old. Now let's get into another Amongst the Whiskey review! Such big, beautiful oak tones are so well balanced here you'd think this batch was 12 plus years old. Deeper inhales pull apart doughy molasses, earthy old growth forest, and sharp vanilla aromas. As the verdant forest vibe starts to fade I find an incredible volume of baking spices - nutmeg leans

  • 2022 Sazerac 18 Year Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey Review

The empty glen smells like a vintage clothing store and forest fruit pastilles. Boozy cherry cordial and black forest cake make for a sultry inhale. We found peanuts in wax paper at an old-time baseball game.

  • Four Roses Small Batch Select Bourbon Review

    The empty glass smells of delicious honey and it exudes an old-school diner vibe with coffee pots passing This feels like it would go really well in a mellow old fashioned. For the record - we did end up finishing this bottle - Brittany went for 2 old fashioned cocktails I This bottle has some kind of old-school feel to it that also feels somehow naval.
