Dan is traveling again this week for a very cool cycling-related project. So, it's just me and the two new @Jack Daniel's releases. I picked these two bottles up just before going live so I hadn't spent much time reading about them other than the articles my mom sent me.…
Open the Bottle - Wyoming Whiskey Outryder American Straight Whiskey Wyoming Whiskey states the specs of this whiskey as "This Straight American Whiskey is a blend of two distinct mashbills, an almost Rye Whiskey and a High Rye Bourbon, that represents Wyoming Whiskey’s first use of Rye." So, plenty of…
Open The Bottle - Dragon's Milk Origin Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey Here's something from a company I'd certainly heard of because I love their Dragon's Milk Bourbon Barrel Aged Stout beer. It makes sense that if you're good at fermentation, you could be good at making whiskey and that plays…
Makers of delicious Dragon's Milk stout beer are into whiskey now! Cheers! Join us next week for Friday Sips Live between 2:15-3:15pm MT. Subscribe so you get the notifications for Live Sips and other videos. @Wyoming Whiskey @New Holland Brewing #dragonsmilkorigin #wyomingwhiskeyoutryder
Dan has been under the weather this week and also has a school function to attend with his daughter. I remember from when my kids were little that it is frowned upon for parents to show up to school events smelling of whiskey. So, you just have me today which…
We went to Moab, UT last week to ride bikes, take pictures, and shoot video for our new venture, Dawn Patrol MTB. So, we figured we should drink some Utah whiskey in the form of High West's Rendezvous Rye. Cheers! Join us next week for Friday Sips Live between 2:45-3:15pm…
Last week we opened what used to be my favorite Booker's batch after deciding Dan's birthday Bardstown batch had taken that crown. Let's sip those side by side and see what we think. And then we'll sip other stuff too. Cheers! Join us next week for Friday Sips Live between…
Back to the Bottle - Four Roses Small Batch Limited Edition 2021 Bourbon This is the first bottle that I can say would truly tempt me to pay secondary prices for whiskey. It's my new favorite whiskey, not just bourbon, favorite whiskey ... at least at the moment. It's so…
We've talked a lot about Heaven Hill bourbon lately. Let's button that up today. Elijah Craig Barrel Proof store pick and a super cheap Evan Williams are on the table to sip. Cheers! Join us next week for Friday Sips Live between 2:45-3:15pm MST. Subscribe so you get the notifications…
Dan is back! No fooling. We open up the new Castle and Key Bourbon and sip other whiskey on Dan's final day in his 30's. Tomorrow, he turns 40 and, as we all know, it's just downhill from there. I'm what he has to look forward to. Cheers! Join us…
My friend Stacey Moses has some whiskey questions. Until just a few months ago, we'd worked together in various capacities for many years, and during that time, we also became friends. On balance, I feel as if I've learned far more from Stacey in our professional relationship than she ever…
While I haven't chased unicorn whiskey in a long time and frankly, I never really did, I have accumulated a few bottles at reasonable prices that have increased significantly in value. My inclination is to open those bottles, share them with friends, and enjoy them but I'm second-guessing that thinking…
Redbreast 12-Year-Old Irish Single Pot Still Whiskey This is a wonderful example of a single pot still Irish whiskey. Beautiful on the nose and delightful on the palate. Nutty and fruity, clearly influenced by the Sherry barrels it spent time in but not in an overbearing way. I've bought these…
Happy St. Patrick's Day! Let's sip some Irish whiskey. Let's also sip some McKenna 10 year BiB since Henry McKenna was born in Ireland and then let's see how different the standard McKenna 80 proof stacks up to the 10-year-old Bottled In Bond expression. But then, how would the Heaven…
Open the Bottle - George Dickel 15-Year-Old Tennessee Whisky Single Barrel Store Picks I love George Dickel whisky and I don't care who knows it. These 15-year-old single barrels ranging in proof from the low 80s to over 100 represent one of the best values in whiskey at the moment…
It was Bottled In Bond day this week! Let's sip some BiBs and toast that 1897 legislation that made whiskey better for us all. Good times. Cheers! Join us next week for Friday Sips Live between 2:45-3:15pm MST. Subscribe so you get the notifications for Live Sips and other videos.…
Back to the Bottle - Knob Creek 9-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey I like Beam whiskey and certainly like Knob Creek Bourbon. This one is a favorite for under $30 and may well hold its own with bottles costing quite a bit more. Good for sipping and makes a fine…
Open the Bottle - 2021 Four Roses Small Batch Limited Edition Bourbon Wow! I had high hopes for this bourbon especially after paying $200 for the bottle and my hopes have been exceeded. This is just an amazing bottle of bourbon! I know that's a lot of money for whiskey…
Open the Bottle - Jack Daniels Tennessee Whiskey Single Barrel from Hazel's Beverage World, Boulder, CO Here's one I didn't have very high expectations for. I bought them to support my local store's barrel pick program and because I do like Jack Daniels whiskey just fine. It didn't hurt that…
Sourced vs the Source - let's drink it all. Good times. Cheers! Join us next week for Friday Sips Live between 2:45-3:15pm MST. Subscribe so you get the notifications for Live Sips and other videos. #fourroses
Back to the Bottle - All of the Russell's Reserve Whiskey and All of the Wild Turkey too! I want everyone - except whiskey geeks who would drive the price up - to drink Wild Turkey produced whiskey. From Wild Turkey 101, through all of the Russell's Reserve expressions of…
We're back on track for a live Blind Shelfie Throwdown today! Was Dan so scared of a live battle that he faked a family emergency to avoid it? Will I regret throwing so much shade once we actually have to figure out what we're drinking? Who knows. What we do…
We were planning to do a live version of the Blind Shelfie Throwdown but Dan had a family thing come up and is unable to participate today. Clearly, he was scared of a live blind tasting with me. So, in lieu of that, I thought we'd open up the 2021…
