Old Forester 1924 Bourbon Review
Old Forester’s longstanding mashbill is 72% corn, 18% rye and 10% malted barley. But the mashbill chosen for 1924 is 79% corn, 11% rye and 10% malted barley. It also was fermented with a unique yeast strain.

Brother’s Bond Original Cask Strength Bourbon Review
Pour this one for those who care about their bourbon but not their budget. The nose, taste and finish are classic MGP, which longtime bourbon drinkers will enjoy immensely.
Brother’s Bond Straight Bourbon Review
There’s nothing wrong with drinking low-proof bourbon. It’s just not my thing. But if I were to consume bourbon at the minimum bottle entry proof allowed, Brother’s Bond flavor profile would be more than acceptable– even if the price is not.
Still Austin Blue Corn Bottled-In-Bond Bourbon Review
What’s most intriguing about this bourbon is its lack of sweetness. A glance at the mash bill shows it’s limited to 51% corn, which explains a lot of it since it’s roughly 25% lower than most bourbons on the market. I can’t decide whether I like that reduced sweetness, but it’s got my attention.
Milam & Greene Batch 3 Castle Hill Bourbon Review
I’ve never been a fan of the children’s vitamin note common to whiskeys made there, and I assumed this would bring more of the same. It didn’t. This is a delicious whiskey with unique virtues appreciated in its aromas and flavors.
Heaven’s Door Bootleg Series Vol. V Review
I might recommend making this your only pour of the night or at least your first. It’s a bourbon unlike most anything else on the shelves and requires, dare I say, deserves, some devoted attention.
Never Say Die Small Batch Bourbon Review
Perhaps the big question for most is whether the whiskey is noticeably influenced by its journey to and rest in England. For me, at least, the answer is no. It tastes like a 6-year-old bourbon should–like any bourbon aged here for six years would taste.
I.W. Harper Cabernet Cask Reserve Bourbon Review
Too often secondary finishes are used to cover up mediocre juice and can leave an unbalanced sweetness with an unpleasant finish. This is not the case with the Cab Cask Reserve, and, to me, it tastes like a better-balanced, more nuanced Angel’s Envy Port Finish.
Michter’s 10 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon Review
The nose leads with sorghum molasses, raspberry tart, dark fired tobacco, glove leather, creamed corn, soda bread, macadamia nuts, chocolate graham cracker. Yeah, all that and more.
Remus Gatsby Reserve Review
Remus Gatsby Reserve leads with aromas of caramel, candied dark fruit and saddle leather, with slight brown sugar and very sweet candied notes.
