Bulleit Barrel Strength Batch Number 8 comes in at 121.8 proof and with our love for higher proof bourbons we had to give it a try. Is there any regret?

Bourbon Review
The Old Forester Signature 100 Proof honors the legacy of founder George Garvin Brown, who put his signature on every bottle. And this bourbon is definitely one he would be proud to have his name on today. Today, Old Forester has been on the market continuously for longer than any other bourbon and was the first bourbon sold exclusively in sealed bottles. It was first bottled and marketed in 1870 by the former pharmaceutical salesman […]
Knob Creek Single Barrel Reserve Aged 9 years comes to us from Knob Creek Distilling Company which was founded in 1992 by Booker Noe, a seventh-generation member of the Beam family. Noe was inspired to create Knob Creek after tasting a bottle of pre-Prohibition bourbon that his grandfather had saved. He wanted to create a bourbon that was similar in flavor and character to that old bottle. Noe began by experimenting with different mash bills […]
Barmen 1873 is made by Coors Whiskey Co., yes, that Coors. It all started 20 years ago when David Coors turned to his Dad and asked, “Why don’t we make whiskey?” His Dad would respond, “Because we’re good at one thing, and that’s beer.” In many families that would be the end of the discussion, but David didn’t stop there.

These two bottles have something in common, I won them in the New Hampshire Stare Liquor Mafia Lottery. You see, here in New Hampshire the state makes this bottle and many other allocated bottles only available twice a year, […]
This week’s review Bib & Tucker Small Batch Bourbon Aged 6 Years is the source of another rant. Yes, I went to the state mafia control liquor store and was disappointed with that bourbon was on the shelf. A lot of New Hampshire made bourbon that for the most part is crap. A lot of MGP Bourbons that are more of a disappointment than a win. Colorado, Missouri, Wyoming bourbons but very little Kentucky Bourbon. […]
Old Bardstown comes from The Willett Distillery which is known for their self named bourbon as well as Rowans Creek and Noah’s Mill. This week I went to the horrible state run liquor store with the mindset I wanted to find something of value and made in Kentucky. Here in New Hampshire that has become a chore as the shelves are filled with very little Kentucky bourbon and lots of items made elsewhere. Todays review […]
