Are you aware of Julio's whiskey weekend in Westboro next weekend?

Hi Mark,

Looks like you're pretty close to Purgatory Chasm, a neat place, haven't been in a few years. I'm a little east of you in Braintree. Welcome. If you haven't found it yet, head to...

This bourbon has some very weird and different flavors going on, but like all HH young bonds, I really like it.

The last time I was in KY I searched heavily for this bottom shelf gem and only...

What he said above ^

Makers Mark lets you dip your own bottle after the tour. I think this is wicked cool, but could never do it myself. That's because I personally believe all whiskey should...

What everyone else said.

In the opposite direction, I always thought that Lagavulin mini's actually tasted BETTER than the 750ml. Not that there is anything wrong with the 750. I voiced this...

Hi Ryan,

(says Mike Kellstrand, so you know who the heck this is... :) )

Cool to see you show up here. The Whiskey-Fest on Sunday was great as always.

To anyone within traveling...

I generally don't see them on the shelf even in KY. Go to a dozen decent sized stores in Louisville/Lexington and you're lucky to find them in one. I picked up some Mellow Corn BIB last trip and...

For those poor souls who have not made a pilgrimage to...

While the Bourbon...

I've seen the AAA 10yo in Austin TX at Twin Liquors...

I have a fondness for Mellow Corn BIB. I even have trouble finding this one IN Kentucky.

Bourbon does not change much with age. To keep it simple, no, it does not improve with age like the right wine can. There is the risk of spoilage or evaporation with age though. If the cork seal it...

Obnoxious call on the White Label Jeff!

If nothing else, the feedback will be interesting and entertaining, and won't result in a hideous love fest.

Two admissions: I haven't had any JB in...

I've had the very good fortune to try all three variations. Contrary to many, I am a fan of the Gold Foil. It has a ton of dark fruit on the nose and palate, which I really like. I find the Gold Wax...
