Bourbon Barrel Talk

The crew sits down and reviews one of the first batches of 4 year old Ole Smoky Whiskey Company's bourbon. Mashbill is 84/8/8, similar to other Tennessee distillation. Being young it still shows qualities that will grow into a nice 6-10 year product. 

The crew sits down and discussed and reviews the Field of Dreams Bourbon released in 2022. With Batch 2 about to be released, we figured we should give our take on Batch 1. 

Ed Bley sends the crew batch 2 of the Old Stubborn for us to review. Although the both batches are good, I think I lean in to Batch 2 a bit more than 1.  Mainly because I prefer the rye over the wheater.

Jonny Tsunami brought back a bottle of barrel strength Jameson Whiskey from his trip abroad. In honor or his sister Leah and her husband Liam's first child arriving, Jonny wanted to pay homage with a toast to them. 

The crew reviews a couple of ryes. We compare and contrast the Bulliett 12 yr and Kentucky Owl Batch 1 Ryes. It's always fun when you can put a recent release up to a release thats 7 years old. What is your favorite rye, new and old?

The crew discusses and reviews the most recent wheated bourbon released by Starlight from the 2023 Repeal Day. 

The crew reviews and compares the Discovery 6 and KBS Founders from Bardstown Bourbon Company. The comparisons are like apples and oranges, but offer a wide variety in flavors. Do you have a favorite Discovery bottle or Collaboration? 

The crew reviews these exceptionally hard to find wheated bourbons. The Makers Cellar age is the oldest Makers that I am aware of, as is the Select Stock Wheat from Heaven Hill. Both are sweet and tasty, but one is just a bomb of flavor. 

The crew reviews the 2019 release of Mic Drop from PM Spirits. These releases tend to be fairly good and solid MGP blends. While their early releases were older, the newer ones have been 4-6 years old. 

The Den of Thieves take over the Brock's and review 3 super unique barrels available right now in Old Louisville's Single Barrel Program. We reviewed two 36% high rye MGP, a 8 yr Columbian Oak, 11 yr Regular and a 51/49 rye/malt barrel. Check out Old Louisville Whiskey Company for your next single barrel selection.
