We picked up this bottle back in March, and it took us about three months to finish, unusual for us, since most bottles tend to linger on our shelf for a few years. This one clearly didn’t stick around that long. So, I wanted to revisit it and share whether our thoughts have changed, and…

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.

Jameson 18-Year 46% ABV
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! To celebrate, I’m sticking with an Irish classic that everyone already knows and loves—Jameson. I’ve always been a fan of Jameson whiskey—it’s a staple on our shelves. Two of my go-to favorites are the smooth Triple Triple and the versatile Jameson Orange. So, when the chance came to sample their Jameson…

Cinnamon has always been my favorite note in whiskey, and this expression delivered it in abundance—an instant favorite. We picked up this gem from Newport Craft Brewing and Distilling Co. in Newport, RI, during the summer, and now that the bottle is gone, it’s time to answer the big question: would I repurchase?
