The last time we visited Bully Boy Distillery was way back in 2013, but this past weekend we finally made our way back after seeing they were releasing a new Bourbon Whiskey Finished in a Honey Barrel. The upside? They were offering free samples, and you know one thing I love is being able to…

Mad River Distillers: Double Tapped Maple Bourbon Whiskey
And just like that, it’s already September. That means my favorite time of year is just around the corner, and cooler temperatures always signal whiskey drinking season. A week ago, I wrote about Mad River Distillers’ Revolution Rye, a sample that was sent to me by The Whiskey Bard. Today, I want to talk about…
Sazerac Rye 100 Proof Straight Rye Whiskey
About three weeks ago, I posted about polishing off our bottle of Sazerac Rye (you can find that review here on this platform). Naturally, that meant it was time to pick up a replacement. My original plan was to grab the standard bottling, but when I spotted the 100 Proof version, curiosity got the better…
Sazerac Rye Straight Rye Whiskey

Update: Sea Flame Spice Whiskey

Before that, let’s revisit…

This spot isn’t just about beer—they also distill their own spirits, offer guided tours, serve up cocktails, and even have food on the menu. The main draw for me? Their whisky. More…
Catoctin Creek Hot Honey Rye
Catoctin (Ka-tock-tin) Creek is the first legal distillery in Loudoun County Virginia since before Prohibition. It was founded by Becky and Scott Harris in 2009. I had the opportunity to sample this brand back in November, and I must admit that I’m not typically a fan of sweet whiskies or drinks. I found the samples…
