BOTM 8/18: Bulleit Bourbon July 31, 2018
Yeah, I'm early for a change. Every once in a while....... I couldn't believe it's been over 10 years since this was the BOTM. So....... here we go. Much has changed with Bulleit in the last couple of years or so. Four Roses is no longer in the picture, and speculation has it that BF and/or […]

History

Whiskeydaddlers April 20, 2018
http://whiskeydaddle.com/thenovel/ Doing some research into the Peoria area distillery history and ran into this. Apologize if this is already out there, but I did not see anything when I searched. New piece of Distillery History for me. Hope you feel the same.
Old Crow Distillery April 10, 2018
Vosgar, Gavin0791 and I went on a three day, whirlwind trip to the motherland. This was to participate in a barrel pick at BT, along with giving my nephew Mike, aka Galvin0791 an introduction to the bourbon world. We had a great time. Along with seeing the "new" at BT, we got to experience some of the […]

Bourbon in Las Vegas? September 23, 2018
Hi, fellow bourbon lovers! My friend is going across the Atlantic for a trip to Las Vegas and asked if he should look for any whiskey to bring me home. But, since I have no idea which bottles are usually available there, I'm not really sure what to tell him - and since he's […]
Joseph Magnus Visit September 23, 2018
Hi All, Heading to DC second week of October and will be visiting the distillery as I love their products, have Murray Hill and Cigar Blend open and enjoying. Anyone know if there is currently any distillery only special bottles available, I am guessing its all about timing.

An fun afternoon of cask analysis..... September 8, 2018
Hey Fellas, I sure hope this doesn't come off as shameless self-promotion, or shameless promotion for a few of the brands I blend for, but at any rate, I'm just wrapping up a very fun afternoon of doing some finishing cask analysis for what will become batches #10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 of Jos. Magnus Cigar […]

For some reason, I get the feeling that Corporate has their hands in this. B-S has plenty of Canadian in their portfolio, otherwise I don't get the reason for this from a old school Kentucky Bourbon family member. Either B-S is pushing to diversify between labels, or […]

Four Roses announced this year’s LE small batch (“130th anniversary”). It’ll consist of a 13yo OBSF, 10yo OBSV, 15yo OESV, and a 17yo OESK. https://fourrosesbourbon.com/brents-pick-130th-anniversary-limited-edition-small-batch/ Im a big fan of well aged FR bourbon so I’ll be hunting for this one. It’s interesting, though, that none of the palate flavor descriptors are sugar-based - there’s usually some […]
