We also take a look at the available Overholt products on the market in a flight lineup to see how the Monongahela measures up to its siblings. Enjoy. Become a pa...

Well, we didn't until recently, and we figured it was time to give it a review and put it through the TIMBP paces, dear listener. So, we did just that, and then even put it up against the Beam Black of yesteryear to decide if things have changed for the better or if this new release was better left in the dreams of bourbon drinkers of tomorrow. Enjoy. TIMBP SURVEY: https://docs.google.com/...
