Teeling Single Pot Still Scoresheet & Review
These days it’s not uncommon to hear about old brands or names in whiskey being resurrected, and Teeling is no exception. Although the Teeling distillery itself was only built up in 2015, Jack and Stephen Teeling trace their family name back to 1782 “when Walter Teeling set up a small…

Four Roses Small Batch Select Scoresheet & Review
My previous (also first) Four Roses review practically slipped into gush territory. I remarked that, unlike most bottles I bestow with the Daily Drinker verdict, Four Roses Single Barrel could actually hold up as a sole daily and not eventually bore me. This is only aided by the variation that…

Maker’s Mark 2021 Wood Finishing Series (FAE-01) Scoresheet & Review
Being a Maker’s Mark fan can sometimes feel like being in a romantic relationship. Most of the time it’s great; they’re there for you when you need them and every so often, they’ll spice things up for good measure. Eventually, however, it gets to a point where things start to…

George Dickel Bottled in Bond (2020) Scoresheet & Review
If there’s one whisky producer known for appearing in a considerable chunk of sourced bottlings, it’s Ross & Squibb (MGP). If there’s one whisky producer known for appearing in a considerable chunk of sourced bottlings that people would rather avoid, it’s George Dickel. All the same, some individuals have become…

Penelope Bourbon Barrel Strength (Batch 10) Scoresheet & Review
The folks at Penelope Bourbon have one of the more down-to-earth backstories as far as whiskey producers go. Rather than naming the brand after yet another famous figure in spirits history, founders Michael and Kerry Paladini chose a different source: the impending birth of their daughter in 2018. The idea…

Barrell Seagrass Scoresheet & Review
One whiskey release from 2021 that requires next to no introduction is Barrell Seagrass. The storm of talk and acclaim following its release was prompt, and Barrell are still riding that high with the recently released 16-Year Seagrass, which will soon be followed by a 20-Year version. Most folks won’t…

Barrell Armida Scoresheet & Review
Of the interesting expressions Barrell Craft Spirits has presented us, Armida might be one of the least discussed. Dovetail, being the first Barrell product I heard of that wasn’t a traditional whiskey blend, drew a considerable amount of attention thanks to its unique triple-cask finish. Then there was last year’s…

Yellow Spot Scoresheet & Review
There’s been a slow yet steady and growing interest in Irish whiskey recently. Part of this is symptomatic of the boom whiskey continues to enjoy, but in the case of Ireland’s collective take on the “water of life,” this can likely be attributed to single pot still whiskey. This style…

Whistlepig r/bourbon “Whistle Missile” Pick Scoresheet & Review
I’m something of a procrastinator when it comes to reviewing barrel picks. There are only so many ways I can introduce and talk at length about what are literally slight variations on the same product. Consequently, I’ve put off killing certain bottles simply because I haven’t reviewed them yet. I…

Jameson Caskmates IPA Edition Scoresheet & Review
If there were ever a time for Jameson to go all-out with their Caskmates line, this would be it. What began as a seemingly logical collaboration between distiller and brewer in Caskmates Stout Edition became something a bit more adventurous with the addition of Caskmates IPA Edition (Eight Degrees being…

High West High Country Single Malt Scoresheet & Review
High West may be one of the best examples of a smaller player verging on household name status (if they aren’t already). They’ve quite arguably been instrumental in opening people’s eyes to American whiskey producers outside of Tennessee and Kentucky. Many have probably noticed their bottles on shelves but never…

Montana 1889 Whiskey Scoresheet & Review
When people think of American whiskey, the two states that instantly spring to mind are Kentucky and Tennessee (and Indiana for some). Yet as interest in the often-colorful spirit continues to grow, other states have taken notice with craft distillers popping up, either hoping to get a piece of the…
