From the now for something completely different realm, Beam Global (they make Jim Beam and a number of the smaller batch bourbons we have reviewed) has launched an entirely different ad campaign called “The Stuff Inside.” The premise, while simple, is actually pretty deep and has nothing to do with bourbon. They are spotlighting people [...]

Make a baby boomer happy, drink Old Charter in a room that smells of rich mahogany. I decided to try a taste of Old Charter on a recent trip to see my parents.

Thanks to Uncrate for the heads up on Wild Turkey’s new “super premium” bourbon. This must be the next logical step in the small batch bizarro arms race. Who knows if this stuff is any good (and full disclosure I am not a big Wild Turkey fan) but the bottle is definitely cool.

The NY Times has a very informative feature about the rise in bourbon’s popularity. For the new bourbon drinker or the experienced taster, the story is worth taking a look at for an overview of the industry. Their ratings were a little surprising mostly in who did not make the cut, but they rated highly [...]

While private label wine makers like Crush Pad received a great deal of attention, a small distillery in New York is giving whiskey afficiandos a similar opportunity. According to the Tuthilltown Gristmill’s website, customers select a from a few different options (bottle size, barrel, materials, and more) and the distillery handles the rest. After [...]
