    Jim Beam Signature Craft Brown Rice Scoresheet & Review

    Every now and then a liquor store will surprise you with what they have on-hand. Even stores as bursting with choice as Total Wine can have an obscure treasure or two. This was the case last year when I browsed my nearby Total Wine, checking their small bottles section to…

  • Booker’s (2020-03, “Pigskin Batch”) Scoresheet & Review

    Booker’s (2020-03, “Pigskin Batch”) Scoresheet & Review

    Few whiskey brands frustrate me the way Booker’s does. What I like about this premium offering from Jim Beam is that availability is usually sound–even in a booming market, the design and packaging are both archaic and endearing, and the whiskey itself is solid from batch to batch. However, such…

    Booker’s (2020-01, “Granny’s Batch”) Scoresheet & Review

    I was already late to the whiskey game by the time I decided to jump on board, but Booker’s is a brand that I’ve felt that poor timing hit the hardest. The first time I consciously noticed a bottle it was $80, right around the time Jim Beam announced that…

    Old Tub Bottled in Bond Scoresheet & Review

    One doesn’t need to be deep in the bourbon saddle to see how much Jim Beam offers to budget-minded drinkers. Between White, Black, Double Oak, Repeal Batch, Bonded, Devil’s Cut, and more, there’s no shortage of options for people limited to the $20 range. So, what’s another bottle in the…

    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…

  • Old Grand Dad 114 Scoresheet & Review

    Old Grand Dad 114 Scoresheet & Review

    We all know that a whiskey shouldn’t be judged by its bottle. If we did, Willett Pot Still would garner more praise than Wild Turkey Master’s Keep bottles. Yet we are fallible creatures. My potential error was never giving Old Grand Dad a shot due to the name and bottle…

  • Jim Beam Signature Craft Six Row Barley Scoresheet & Review

    Jim Beam Signature Craft Six Row Barley Scoresheet & Review

    Jim Beam probably isn’t the first brand you think of when the words “limited” and “quality” are brought up. Yet that’s precisely what one would likely describe their Signature Craft lineup as. This collection consisted of six expressions, each sold in a 375mL bottle and aged for 11 years. Today…
