This George Dickel 17 Year Old Reserve is, more-or-less, the reissue of the OG GD 17 from 2016, only now it's not a distillery exclusive. This is fantastic for fans of George Dickel who won't be going to TN anytime soon. And even more fantastic that it seems to be a more … [Read more...] about George Dickel 17 Year Old Reserve Review

Whisky Kruger American Sour Mash Whiskey 5 Years Review
This bottle of Whisky Kruger American Sour Mash Whiskey 5 Years was gifted to me by my good friend Bozzy at my going away party in Los Angeles. To avoid confusion about what was in the bottle, my friend Naiman defaced it. Everyone else drank it. Bottled by a German … [Read more...] about Whisky Kruger American Sour Mash Whiskey 5 Years Review
Jack Daniel’s Bonded Tennessee Whiskey Review
I'm not the biggest JD fan, so I approached this Jack Daniel's Bonded Tennessee with some trepidation. I've never liked the original Old No. 7 or the Gentleman too much. I have enjoyed some of the single barrels but they vary so wildly in quality so I've been hesitant to put any … [Read more...] about Jack Daniel’s Bonded Tennessee Whiskey Review
Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Select
I have a complicated relationship with Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Select and related JD SiB products. Sometimes they're ok, sometimes they're terrible and sometimes they're amazing. The variability in their SiBs seems to be more than any other distillery. This variability … [Read more...] about Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Select

Puncher’s Chance 12 Years The D12tance Bourbon Review
The difference between the Puncher's Chance 12 Years The D12tance Bourbon and the regular Puncher's Chance is a state line. I mean, there's also age and the use of a finishing barrel here, but outside of those minor things, it's a state line. The 90-proof PC is a Kentucky … [Read more...] about Puncher’s Chance 12 Years The D12tance Bourbon Review
George Dickel Bottled In Bond Spring 2007 13 Years Review
Hailing from one of my favorite distilleries, the George Dickel Bottled In Bond Spring 2007 13 Years is exactly what its name says it is. And I love that.

Honest, straight up, easy to discern, and know … [Read more...] about George Dickel Bottled In Bond Spring 2007 13 Years Review
Cascade Moon Edition 2 Review
Aged for 17 years, this Cascade Moon Edition 2 is the second oldest George Dickel I've had. The Orphan Barrel Whoop and Holler surpasses it by a staggering 11 years and when released was $75 less than this Edition 2 - though now it regularly sells for north of $1,200 and I've … [Read more...] about Cascade Moon Edition 2 Review
