Bear Wallow Single Barrel Bourbon is a bold, oak-forward Indiana craft release with deep chocolate, honeyed sweetness, and a powerful barrel-proof presence. Rich, savory, and impressively mature, it easily stands alongside much bigger names.

Bulleit 95 Rye 12 Year delivers classic herbal, spicy MGP rye character with real depth from extended aging, all at a shockingly fair price. If you love 95/5 rye, this is exactly what you want in the glass.

Smoke Wagon Blender’s Select Rye is sweet, floral, and surprisingly smooth for nearly 58% ABV, with green apple, rock candy sweetness, and clean rye spice throughout. A well-blended rye that avoids the typical MGP edge and drinks dangerously easy.

High West Bottled in Bond Bourbon delivers a grain-forward, honey-sweet sip with peach cobbler vibes and a surprisingly rich mouthfeel for four years old. Pricey at $80, but a solid, promising first step for their own-house bourbon.

Knob Creek 21 Year is a bold, oak-heavy bourbon with massive texture, pecan pie richness, dark chocolate, and firm tannins. Not subtle, not sweet, but exactly what ultra-aged bourbon should be if you love deep barrel character.

Visited Total Wine yesterday and ran across Jefferson’s Rye on the shelf! Couldn’t say no for $25 bucks.

They just don’t make unique bottles like they use to! I gotta give credit to Ducks Unlimited & The World Whiskey Society on releasing an American Single Malt Whiskey…shaped like a shot gun shell!

Full review coming soon!

First time popping open a bottle from Smoke Wagon! Their Blenders Select Rye is top notch! Highly recommend.

Wife came home with some finds on the clearance shelf! Love surprise whiskey.

They just don’t don’t make #whiskey decanters like this in 2024. Huge props to Journeyman Distillery for such a great Anniversary release!

Quoth The Raven…

I have to give huge props to the World Whiskey Society and their Wyatt Earp 13 year whiskey. This is the highest proof whiskey I’ve ever had and it is so full of flavors!

If you are looking for a great craft distillery, you need to checkout Whiskey Acres.

Grown, distilled, aged, & bottled all by them in Illinois.

Highly recommend!

Backbone Bourbon Company is constantly releasing amazing bottles and I love spreading the word.

This Estate release is by far one of my favorites. For the profile this bottle exceeds expectations at $69.99 and is hunt worthy!

With Fall time here and chilly temps showing up, I love something a bit sweet and warming. Had to snag this limited release from West Fork Whsky Co taking a 100% Corn Bourbon and finishing it in a cherry brandy barrel!
