Send us a text It's the holiday season, folks, and we're excited to be reviewing the newest bourbon from the James B Beam family, Winter Reserve, which is...something, isn't it? Plus, we take the time to check out the annual edition of one of Perry's favorite beers, the Bourbon County Stout from our friends at Goose Island, and it's time to really get down to brass tacks: Eric doesn't know what to make of it. Enjoy. Ronald McDonald House Pappy Van Winkle Fundraiser: https://pappy24.square.site/ ...

Send us a text We're taking a break from a major review this week to take a look at one of our favorite rye whiskeys and ask the age old question, "what's the best way to drink it?" Perry and Eric put Old Forester Rye through the paces of neat, a splash of water, on the rock(s), and in cola to determine just how you should be drinking your daily, affordable drinker. Plus, they were sent the Brooklyn Brewery Black Ops Stout for review, and sure enough, they're gonna drink on it. Enjoy. Become a p...

Send us a text It's no secret that we, and the bourbon community at large, are massive fans of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection. It's not often that we're able to taste expressions from the fabled series, but this year, Perry and Eric were lucky enough to taste not one, but TWO bourbons included in the lineup. Perhaps the two most coveted in BTAC, William Larue Weller and George T. Stagg bourbons are as rare and as coveted as bourbons get these days. But, how do their 2024 iterations hold up...

New Belgium's collaboration with Four Roses resulted in Oakspire Bourbon Barrel Ale, a limited release beer that is widely available and highly anticipated by both bourbon and beer drinkers alike.

Send us a text The Wild Turkey brand has become as synonymous with bourbon as its master distiller, Jimmy Russell, has during his 70 year tenure at the Campari-owned company. In honor of a feat unlike any other in the industry, Turkey brought to market a bourbon that both honors and represents the legacy of Jimmy's storied journey at his home distillery in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky. This 8 year old, 101 proof bourbon celebrates a flavor profile that after one sip, anyone who's grown to know and lov...

Send us a text It never ceases to amaze me how similar collectors are across all mediums and spaces and scenes. From cars to baseball cards to comic books, everybody's hobby is driven by one thing: exclusivity. But the line between bourbon and shoe collectors is often so blurred that the Venn diagram at times looks more like a circle. And, when someone like Eric "The Whiskey Mutant" Smith is so deeply ingrained in both of those worlds, it means that he's the prime candidate to dissect just how a...

It's comprised of a high rye mash bill and was aged in a low char, heavy toast barrel that sets it apart from the typical makeup of Woodinville's numerous bourbons on the market. But, can it live up to the reputation that they've carved out over their nearly decade-long tenure on the bourbon market? That's what Perry and Eric a...
