Just the Sip: Baker’s 13-Year (2023) Review
Few distilleries can challenge Jim Beam on the label portfolio front. Considering the sheer number of brands they’ll launch, short-lived or otherwise, it’s almost surprising that they haven’t consolidated more to bolster a couple of their existing brands. Case in point: Baker’s. Although the brand (named after Baker Beam) has…

Just the Sip: Four Roses 2019 Limited Edition Small Batch Review
Anyone who knows me knows that Four Roses is my favorite distillery. When I say that, it has less to do with the selection of core products and more to do with the core profile, which itself can be highly variable. That last part is almost exclusively uncovered through their…

Russell’s Reserve 13-Year (2021) Scoresheet & Review
Something strange happened to Wild Turkey between 2020 and 2021. The Lawrenceburg distillery, often the target of woe for people who’d previously made poor drinking decisions, quickly ignited interest from enthusiasts with the release of a couple of limited products. 2020 saw Wild Turkey drop a 17-year bottled in bond…

Chattanooga Founder’s 10th Anniversary Blend Scoresheet & Review
Chattanooga Whiskey have been making quite the name for themselves the past few years. Nowadays people are familiar with their impressive Cask 111, recurring bonded releases, and occasional wildcard finishes (often gift shop exclusives). However, the whiskey they got started with (though relatively pedestrian) was crucial to not only letting…

Glenmorangie A Tale of Cake Scoresheet & Review
Glenmorangie have been one of the easiest scotch brands for me to turn to. The reason is simple: pricing. Although it’s easy to find their four-pack tasting set (consisting of The Original, Lasanta, Quinta Ruban, and Nectar d’Or), local pricing for a full bottle of each is far more approachable…

Maker’s Mark 2019 Wood Finishing Series (RC6) Scoresheet & Review
These days it’s easy to take for granted the number of options when it comes to whiskey. More specifically, the sheer volume of choices one has when considering traditional whiskey and finished whiskey has become downright overwhelming. Maker’s Mark is just one example of this. Where they were previously known…

Crown Royal Noble Rye 16-Year Scoresheet & Review
Canadian whisky hasn’t exactly been high on my radar. Most commercial brands tend to be of the blended variety, where neutral grain spirit is mixed with more traditional whisky, watered down, and sold in various bottle sizes to the masses. Scotch crowds could talk your head off about the woes…

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…

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…
