Russell’s Reserve Single Barrel Rye Scoresheet & Review
These days it’s easy to find praise being sung for Wild Turkey, particularly following the inaugural release of Russell’s Reserve 13-Year. This brought increased demand for other limited offerings from Wild Turkey, such as previously slept-on Master’s Keep releases. Limited edition is all the rage these days. We might like…

Blanton’s Single Barrel Scoresheet & Review
Of all the bourbons that require next to no introduction, Blanton’s is most certainly a frontrunner. Spend any length of time in a liquor store and you’re bound to hear someone ask one of the employees “do you have Blanton’s?” But why is it so popular? The most logical place…

In my review for a 12-Year Old Carter Single Barrel, I commented that it’s a brand I’ll keep my eye out for, should distribution ever expand to my state. At the same time, I had a tough time outright recommending a purchase, least of all without trying beforehand. The big…

Old Carter Single Barrel (12-Year, Barrel #19) Scoresheet & Review
Old Carter is a name I’ve heard people drop every now and then. It’s a fairly recent brand, being the latest passion project for Mark and Sherri Carter, a wine-versed couple who initially worked for Kentucky Owl. Now they’re doing their own thing with the Old Carter brand. Their focus…

Caribou Crossing Scoresheet & Review
Canadian whisky has always been a headscratcher for me, even before I started getting into whisk(e)y proper. The admittedly few expressions I’ve indulged in have either left me unenthused or wincing like Sam from the early days of I Whiskey She Wines. Perhaps the relative obscurity surrounding Canadian whisky is…

Evan Williams Single Barrel (2012 Vintage) Scoresheet & Review
Evan Williams Single Barrel holds a small, nostalgic place in my heart. When I purchased my first bottle years ago, I felt like I had something slightly special, what with the wax top, neck tag, and barrel dates to boot. Heaven Hill might be known for their budget-level whiskey, but…
