There’s been some discussion of this one on the forum lately, although the Jim Beam brand doesn’t usually attract much attention from the broader online bourbon community. While Jim Beam is generally a value brand, it has had a few higher end expressions throughout the years. This single barrel version is the current top end […]
I'm new here and have been enjoying the discussions. I'm curious if I could get some feedback from some of the pros here about a bottle of Old W.L. Weller Special Reserve that my great-grandfather bought in Midway, Kentucky in the 1950s. (He was born in Midway in 1895). I have been unable to find out […]
Hello, I am a new member from Germany. I am interested in Old Bourbon Bottles. Knowing something but want to learn more, so I joined this forum. Somebody offered me this bottle to buy for 2000€ (~2150USD) (Pics seems to come from a shop) Looks great, but I cant find informations about this […]
My fermentation keeps shutting down early and I can’t get it going again. I made three double batches no problem. I moved and change my water source and my first batch was fine. Water quality test strips look good. My mash bill is 11# of milled corn, 2# milled, malted rye and 2# […]

Went out tonight and looked at the local Spec's. They had the Wild Turkey 101 – 8 year. I noted it was in the allocated section. I really never noted it before, not being on the lookout for it. Is it that hard to come by?

I attended a dinner last night and the restaurant had an awesome group of bourbons. I was able to try William Laurie Weller, George T Stagg and Eagle Rare 17. Just amazing to see them all at the same place and priced as fairly as one can expect in a higher end restaurant. […]
I’d welcome thoughts on the Heaven Hill Grain to Glass series. Found a package of the 3 for a reasonable price. I like the higher proof possibility. MSRP is +/- $100 for each. Are they a burnt that price?
First let me say how I excited I was for this bourbon. If I could only chose one bourbon for my collection, it would be the Woodford Reserve Double Oaked. What would be better than a Double Oaked? Well conventional wisdom would say a Double Double Oaked. In reality, this was not what I concluded. […]
