Blanton’s Single Barrel - Last Drop Review
After having this bottle for two years, it left my puzzled. For me, this unicorn didn’t live up to the hype.
Maker’s Mark Cask Strength Review
While the original Maker’s Mark is a bit thin, sickly, and lacking oomph, the cask strength version promises to crank everything to 11, coming in at 111.3 proof and with all the straight out of the barrel goodness bourbon fanatics are looking for these days.
High West A Midwinter’s Night Dram Act 7 Review
The annual release from High West Distillery, A Midwinter’s Night Dram is Christmas in a glass. But is it worth the hunt and the steep price tag?
Blanton’s Single Barrel Bourbon Shelf Review
Many consider this their first bourbon unicorn. Blanton’s has enjoyed massive popularity in recent years, with demand far outstripping supply. This has led to major markups and scarcity around the country. But just because it’s hard to find should you be out looking for it?
Evans Williams Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon Review
This is a fantastic value whiskey that punches above its weight. I would happily sit and drink this in almost any setting, with a set it and forget it profile that is instantly reminiscent of a classic bourbon profile. At around $15 it’s hard to argue that Heaven Hill is blessing us with a fantastic bottom shelfer here.
Old Tub Straight Bourbon Shelf Review
Who said that all limited editions had to be expensive? Jim Beam bucks the trend by offering a limited run bourbon that retails for around $20. It has great specs with it clocking in at 100 proof, and featuring Non-Chill Filtration. Has someone been rolling back the clocks at Jim Beam? It feels like 2011 all over again.
