Penelope Bourbon Barrel Strength
Now here’s a bourbon that we picked up not because we were familiar with the brand but rather because we had heard good things about it so, we wanted to see if truly was a good bourbon. Penelope Bourbon is distilled at the MGP’s distillery in Lawrenceburg, Indiana and is bottled in Kentucky. We picked…
Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Batch B521
Before I get into it, this is a 12 year bourbon. The letter “B” indicates the order it was released that year. The first number the month it was released and the last two numbers indicate the year. If you thought batch A121 was unusually low in proof at 123.6 compared to other batches we’ll……

Garrison Brothers Small Batch Boot Flask
Now here’s a Texas Whiskey brand I’ve not tried before. The distillery is located in Hye, Texas and was granted a distillers permit in 2006. I mean, who wouldn’t want to carry a flask in their boots. If I had cowboy boots, I’d definitely carry a flask in it, because why not. Nose: leather, oak,…
Ezra Brooks Distiller’s Collection
One of my favorite bourbons just happens to be Old Ezra 7. It’s a cask strength, quality bourbon that is completely affordable. In fact, that affordability in itself blows me away you should be able to find Old Ezra 7 in the wild for $35 -$40. Ezra Brooks Distillers Collection was just $34.99 and was…
Elijah Craig Small Batch
So, I was pleasantly surprised to see all the bad reviews for this small batch. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that! The whiskies I enjoy will not be enjoyed by others and vice versa. That is the beauty of whiskey. Here’s what I have to say, this whisky is not revolutionary, it’s no frills…
