    Jim Beam Signature Craft Triticale Scoresheet & Review

    Not long ago, I took a look at one of Jim Beam’s Signature Craft expressions from 2014. The one in question, Six Row Barley, ended up being a bit of a grower, but was ultimately a pour to appreciate rather than outright enjoy. Today’s expression is a bit different in…

    Wild Turkey Rare Breed Scoresheet & Review

    Today is Thanksgiving, the obligatory Wild Turkey day, which means now is as good a time as any to talk about one of my favorite bourbons when I began my whiskey journey in earnest two years ago: Rare Breed. If you’re like me, you grew up regarding Wild Turkey with…

This collection consisted of six expressions, each sold in a 375mL bottle and aged for 11 years. Today…

    Old vs. New: Woodford Reserve Scoresheet & Review

    Little changes can really add up. Woodford Reserve was the first bourbon I made a scoresheet for, which is fairly appropriate given how I found out about them.
