I finally had a dram of this at a local restaurant not long ago. Just one of those things I have considered buying, but got distracted by something else in the store.
It was a unique experience,...
Honestly, I'm very surprised this one hasn't been a BotM before-- For the Money (key phrase), I have a hard time finding something I like better. Used to be 1792, before that went up in price here in...

I find Russells' Reserve to be an excellent cigar bourbon. The hint of cedar neatly compliments that "fresh out of the humidor" taste of the Ashton cabinet series.
As a mixer, however, I like...
Hi everyone,
I'm currently a barkeep at a resort in Central PA (not far from where Michter's old distillery used to be), and have been a bourbon enthusiast for a while.
I started out with the...
