Redbreast Lustau Scoresheet & Review
Hard to believe it’s been over five years since I last reviewed a Redbreast product. I touched on them more recently in my review of Heaven’s Door Redbreast Master Blenders’ Edition, but that product was ultimately a finished bourbon, rather than an Irish whiskey. For a while, Irish whiskey gained some momentum in the whiskey…
Sazerac Rye 100 Proof Scoresheet & Review
Buffalo Trace doesn’t exactly have a sparse whiskey portfolio. Considering their various product lines, some of which contain multiple bottles, one could be forgiven for feeling overwhelmed by such an enormous catalog. Yet for all the loosely available options, we hadn’t seen much exploration in the way of rye whiskey from the Frankfort distillery. That…
Rising Tide Old Swagger Bourbon (2025) Scoresheet & Review
We’re very much in a period of whiskey fans-turned-producers. Whether we’re talking established store owners, popular influencers, or even a prolific online reviewer/moderator, enthusiasts everywhere are trying their hand at whiskey-making. Case in point: Ed Bley, former manager of Cork ‘N Bottle in Crescent Spring, KY, and owner of Rising Tide Spirits. Ed introduced Rising…
Just the Sip: Four Roses Visitor’s Center Pick 20-Year OBSV Review
I’ve been woefully slow to review more Four Roses products. One reason is because the only bottles most people used to see were the four from their previous core lineup. This changed slightly in 2024 when the distillery expanded the core Single Barrel to include a yearly, rotating selection of other recipes. Prior to that,…
Just the Sip: Evan Williams 23-Year Review
Anyone who knows me knows that I’m incredibly skeptical of hyper-aged bourbons. I generally believe that most bourbons hit their peak around 10-12 years and that anything older often needs comparatively younger barrels to balance everything out. There are obviously exceptions, including highly aged blends like Russell’s Reserve 15-Year, but high age statements don’t carry…
Just the Sip: Russell’s Reserve Single Rickhouse CN-E Review
We’re jumping around the timeline a bit with this review. The last time I covered the Single Rickhouse line was with the inaugural Camp Nelson C release, a whiskey that I thought was borderline great, but nowhere near worth its asking price. In a way, Single Rickhouse is a spiritual successor to the lauded Russell’s…
A. Overholt Monongahela Mash Scoresheet & Review
The whiskey industry is entering a potentially precarious position. Dust from the largely pandemic-born boom continues to settle while producers find ways to adapt to the shifting landscape. It wasn’t so long ago that a release could sell strictly on the laurel of novelty, but now? Customers and consumers alike are becoming more selective with…
Nashville Barrel Company “Plomo” Shelf Clear Society Pick Scoresheet & Review
Nashville Barrel Company (NBC) has become something of a haven for whiskey enthusiasts. Almost from the get-go, this Tennessee-based non-distilling producer (NDP) made a name for itself with some stellar rye whiskey releases before expanding to bourbons and even Canadian whisky. Much of the acclaim behind NBC seems to stem from the team’s penchant for…
Larceny Barrel Proof B524 Scoresheet & Review
The last time I had Larceny was with the Barrel Proof Batch C922. If we look at the number of individual SKUs, then Heaven Hill’s preferred outlet for their wheated bourbon recipe is clearly Old Fitzgerald. Meanwhile, Larceny only sees attention in the form of the standard 92 proof bottle, three annual barrel proof batches,…
Michter’s 10-Year Rye Whiskey (2023) Scoresheet & Review
The whiskey industry has seen no shortage of brand reincarnations, particularly of previously legendary names like Kentucky Owl, Black Maple Hill, and even Michter’s. Although little remains of the original distillery, Michter’s (previously Shenk’s followed by Bomberger’s) was once a centerpiece of Pennsylvania whiskey. Now the brand exists as a premium Kentucky-based outfit nearing the…
