I’d had my eye on this bottle for a while, but only recently decided to give it a try when I spotted a 50ml mini available. I’ve said it before, and I’ll…

Dark Arts Toasted Mizunara Bourbon
One of my current favorite bourbon brands is Dark Arts Ambura Oak Stave Finished, Small Batch Rye.

This whiskey has a mash bill of 64% corn, 24% rye,…
Penelope Four Grain Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Here is another mini bottle that I purchased towards the end of last year. I generally enjoy Penelope whiskey, and I had high hopes for this one. While this offering wasn’t necessarily bad, it simply didn’t leave a lasting impression on me. But let’s dive more into this whiskey. The bourbon is aged 4 years,…
Hirsch The Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Double Oak
I recently had the chance to try Hirsch for the very first time. Their Single Barrel Double Oak is a gem! It’s a cask strength whiskey that doesn’t drink like a cask strength whiskey. This whiskey is aged for roughly 9 years and this bottle had an ABV of 55.5%. Nose: oak, spices and leatherPalate:…

Eagle Rare 17 year Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
A week ago we found ourselves again, sitting on a bar stool at the Last Hurrah when we realized that we had always just gone there for their single malt list and never their bourbon. We asked Frank if he had any good bourbons and he laughed at us. He then came back with a…
Elijah Craig 21 year-old
The minute the bartender said she had 21 year-old bourbon I was sold. I don’t have bourbon this old often, so I had to have it. This was my first introduction to the 21 year-old Elijah Craig and I was certainly happy to make its acquaintance. Since having a dram I have learned that this…
