Parker’s Heritage Collection 10th Edition & 5th Edition

I thank whomever poured these for me, and I apologize I can’t find your online username. My father is a bourbon fan. As such, when I visit him, I like to pick out samples. He has his with ice, as he likes bourbon and ice, and I have mine neat, with some water part way […]

Heaven Hill 9 North Star

Every so often, I’m reminded of my most popular review on /r/bourbon. Wait… no, it wasn’t. Looking back it mostly just the one that, 2 year ago, did alright and had people talking. What am I blathering on about, you may ask? A Heaven Hill that was in Scotland released from Cadenheads. I declared it my […]

Mellow Corn

Thanks to /u/Scotchchick for pouring a sample for me. There’s a whiskey. Some would say ubiquitous. Still, others would say it’s legendary. Its golden hue is known by geeks and non-geeks alike, which based on how I did on Venn diagrams, includes everyone in the world (Editor’s note: That’s not how that works at all). Of course, […]

Elijah Craig Barrel Proof [Batch 12]

Thanks to /u/blaw84 for sharing this dram. Before Heaven Hill went to a different system and even a different bottle, angering many a bourbon nerd, and before they used a letter/number combination system (that actually makes more sense), there was one more Batch left to release with the double numbered system: Elijah Craig Barrel Proof [Batch 12]. […]

Heaven Hill 8 Valinch & Mallet Young Masters Collection

Finally getting to another tasting we had. The theme (because they always have to have a theme) of this one? All Bourbon. No world whisky or scotch allowed. And after debating the order of multiple bourbons that we all haven’t had, some of which have no reviews online (the horror). And once we agreed that […]

Elijah Craig Barrel Proof [Batch #A117]

Thanks to /u/muaddib99 for sharing a dram of this bourbon. It’s getting harder and harder to keep track of exactly what’s going on with Elijah Craig. You see, I don’t keep a daily drinker around, as I’m backlogged all the way to 2022 with samples to drink. Also it’s not so easy to get Elijah Craig Barrel […]

Heaven Hill 20 1996 Cadenhead’s 175th Anniversary

Thanks to /u/j4ni for the sample! I swear I had nothing to do with Heaven Hill 20 1996 Cadenhead’s 175th Anniversary. Oh, wait, no one is asking that. Okay then. A year ago I wrote about a gem I found in Scotland. Specifically Cadenhead’s had bought a barrel of Heaven Hills which had been aged for 5 […]

Heaven Hill 11 Cadenheads (Toronto Whisky Society Review Set #1)

As part of the Toronto Whisky Society, we had a small getogether and drank our fucking faces off. Like gentlemen and ladies and all that shit, you know? All hosted by one of our members, /u/devoz and his amazing wife. Each of us brought a bottle to drink. And that was too many. So I understand […]

Parker’s Heritage Collection 9 Malt Whiskey

Thanks to /u/devoz for this sample. So contrary to the flack I’ve been handing out to some Bourbon’s lately, I do enjoy them. Really. Sure, I enjoy other whiskies more, but that’s neither here nor there. So I’ve decided I haven’t angered enough people, and thus have continued reviewing them. Yay me. Today we have the […]

Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Batch 6

Thanks to /u/Schockwaves for this dram. It’s been one of those downer months so far. No wins, lots of losses (and I’m not talking about my love life or basketball). So I was quite happy to sit down after weeks of few reviews and drink something that is typically labeled as “Hazmat” by the bourbon community, […]
