    Eagle Rare Scoresheet (V2) & Review

    I remember the days when Eagle Rare sat on shelves here in Florida. It wasn’t that long ago—not even ten years. My friend and I would walk into places like ABC and Walgreens, mostly to get stuff to mix, and we’d notice stuff like Eagle Rare with its tentative $30…

    Ten High Scoresheet & Review

    Confession time: I have a problem. Like many of you, I enjoy drinking whiskey. There’s so much to drink out there, but I’m just one guy with limitations, like anyone else. I love whiskey…it doesn’t always love me. I thrive on trying as many new expressions as possible, which has…

    Black Ridge Bourbon Scoresheet & Review

    Whiskey is a confusing market. With several brands, categories, expression styles, and production methods available, the field can be daunting even for those who keep up with new releases and developments.

    Ancient Ancient Age Scoresheet & Review

    There’s a lot of whiskey out there. So much so that some company websites can miss a brand or two in their admittedly expansive portfolios. One example of this is Ancient Ancient Age from Buffalo Trace, which carries the number 10 on the label to callback the days when it…

  • Colonel E.H. Taylor Small Batch Scoresheet & Review

    Colonel E.H. Taylor Small Batch Scoresheet & Review

    The Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr. (E.H. Taylor) line from Buffalo Trace isn’t one I’ve had copious opportunities to try. Although I was fortunate enough to try samples of their Small Batch, Single Barrel, and Straight Rye earlier this year, actually finding a bottle (much less for MSRP) is so…
