The brain of a bourbon fanatic is wired differently than other people, and unless you are in the hobby, it can be hard to tell why we act or think a certain way. A lot of our motivation comes from finding bourbon, either on a shelf of our local, in…

First off, a big thank you to BT for providing me samples. Also, I’d like to point out that the samples are glass and are 100 ml this year instead of 50 ml. I asked if the change was due to me giving them so much grief about small samples…
One of the most anticipated releases every fall is the Four Roses Limited Edition Small Batch (a.k.a. LE Smb). Consisting of 3-4 of the 10 Four Roses recipes, with decent aging of those recipes, each LE Smb one comes across with complex flavors that change over time. I love the…
Some interesting notes: Eagle Rare is now returning to it’s original proof of 101, as opposed to 90. This is a very exciting change but also means fewer ER17 bottles than before, and it’s already very hard to find. Stagg again is very high this year, should not be hard…
A big thank you to Heaven Hill for still being one of the only distilleries left that had not realized I had stopped blogging. Thanks to a few samples, I’m writing again! Let’s get it going! Parker’s Heritage 12 The 12th edition of the very popular Parker’s Heritage Collection this…

It started with Coinbase and as I invested money into Ethereum, Litecoin, and Bitcoin. Then, I discovered you could day trade with Coinbase’s exchange and…
First of all, holy crap I finished a new blog post. Look at me! It only took like 90 days or so and I still have about 4 or 5 half finished posts. You might even see a flurry of new blog posts from me! I know all 3 of…
First off, thanks to the fine folks at BT for a sample set of this year’s Buffalo Trace Antique Collection (a.k.a. BTAC, a.k.a. that other hard as hell whiskey to obtain besides Pappy). Second, this review is not going to be fancy, or wordy, or much of anything except the…
The Fall bourbon season always begins with Old Forester Birthday Bourbon. Every time I see that bottle, it makes me think of Queen singing, “Fat Bottomed Bottles you make the rocky world go round”. The bottle design is two things: 1) It’s unique and from a pouring/display/coolness perspective it’s pretty…
