On June 9th, 2022 I tried the Western Reserve 4-Year, a blended bourbon from younger barrels as well as older barrels as old as 12 years. Rumors are that this is actually distillate from the George Dickel distillery in Tennessee. It’s a small batch whiskey,...

For my 101st whiskey tasting, I chose Frey Ranch, a Nevada distiller that grows 100% of the grains they use in their whiskey on their own property. They grow it, harvest it, malting, and distill everything right at home. I can’t personally think of a more...

1776 was suggested to me by an online viewer, so I decided to check it out. It was a good suggestion because it’s 100 proof, and it happened to be my 100th bourbcast (linked below). One of the cool things about the revival of this brand ofter being absent for...

When I think of rum I think of pirates, so that was the inspiration for this image, with the worn poop deck and the skull and crossbones lurking softly and quietly behind. It was a last minute inspiration, but it works. This pour is a limited release of Redemption...

Russell’s Reserve 10 Year is a bit enigmatic to me. It tends to sit on shelves way too long, in my opinion, when it ought to be gobbled up like it’s a Buffalo Trace Distillery bottle. I’m glad that it’s not, though, because selfishly, I want...

When I saw Boone County on the shelf, two images kind of melded together in my brain, Daniel Boone and Hazzard County, the ficitious home of Bo and Luke Duke from The Dukes Of Hazzard, so I knew I needed to place Boone County bourbon on a desolate country road. So,...

This is one of my favorite photographs. It was a chilly morning and the dew had frozen. I suppose that’s technically called a frost, but for some reason this was thicker and more widespread, rather than simply frosty in specific areas. Either way, it was...

This is the first 2022 release of Elijah Craig’s Barrel Proof bourbon, aptly named A122. It comes in at 120.8 proof and has a mash bill of 78% corn, 12% malted barley and 10% rye. It’s aged 12 years by Heaven Hill. This release has gone under criticism...

The Taub Brothers were bootleggers who got caught in a sting on a winter’s night in 1929. They crafted and sold their own whiskey to support their family during prohibition, and they now they sat in jail for what would be six long years. In 1935, President...

The photo isn’t mine, I got it from Heaven Hill. They may not even know that, but I know a great photo when I see one. I like Larceny. I remember the first time I tried it, and I thought it was smokey and oaky compared to other bourbons. I was obsessed for...
