the Whisky Friends ·

2022/10/14

Celebrity whiskey is everywhere today, with some success, and some, well not so much. Our very own Michael was kind enough to share this bottle with us so we could give our opinions on this celebrity whiskey. Will we find it on par with his music? Placing our already-aged 6-Year whiskey in an alligator charred, new American oak deepens the color and fills our whiskey with flavors of dark toasted vanilla. The finished product came out so smooth we increased the bottling proof to 100, says Heaven's

2022/10/11

One of the newest Kentucky Distilleries to open their doors and many of their fans might say New Riff kicked the doors in. Some of our own friends have had the opportunity to pick a barrel of their favorite New Riff juice, but unfortunately, that's not the one we're tasting today. As with all single barrel selections, your mileage may vary, or in bourbon speak, each barrel has a taste character all its own. What did we think of this single barrel? We'll give our thoughts on this one, but for the

This bottle got picked up in Oskaloosa, Kansas, on my way back to Oskaloosa, Iowa. One of our friends around the table is a big KU fan, and this whiskey created some fun times joking about that rivalry. "This whiskey is made from grain grown on Boot Hill Distillery’s farm. This agricultural link dates back to 1863 when K-State was founded as the first land-grant university." Will we like it, could we get our KU friend to even try it?

We're going to sample the highest proof version and see if our love for this whiskey continues. Very Old Barton is a Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey produced in Bardstown, Kentucky, and aged 4 or 6 years by the Sazerac Company at its Barton Distillery.[1] It is bottled in 80-, 86-, 90- and 100-proof (US) expressions.

They may be a lot of buzz around Yellowstone, but we're going to focus on the whiskey that is created and bottled by Limestone Branch. Tonight, we're tasting the mass-produced version instead of their limited edition yearly release. We've enjoyed those limited-edition releases, but will we like their bread-and-butter version? On the Yellowstone website, they say, "this straight bourbon features a handpicked blend of 4- and 7-year-old bourbons, for an exclusive old-fashioned whiskey that honors its

You will hear in this episode we'll compare it against the standard Remus, and you'll hear our take on both bottles. On the Remus website, they describe how and why briefly why they created this bottle.

Douglas and Todd Distillery is named after two counties in Minnesota where the ingredients for their whiskey are sourced from. "The seasonal temperature variation present in Minnesota delivers a minimum four-year aging process, making for a distinct flavor profile and smooth taste."

We crack open another rye whiskey, this one from Rossville Union. Their website describes them, "It began in 1847 with a bold, satisfying taste that would make Indiana the rye capital of the world. For nearly 200 years, Lawrenceburg's master distillers and blenders have been perfecting the original handcrafted rye blends in one of America's last Prohibition-era distilleries."

Pikesville Rye is something we don't always find so easy here in Iowa, and the Whisky Friends found one, and we opened it up at our table to give this Heaven Hill juice a taste. Heaven Hill says on its website, "The brand reemerged after Prohibition and became the last standing Maryland Rye, as the rest of the industry's production had ceased. Now produced in Kentucky from extra-aged barrels stored in prime warehouse locations, Heaven Hill Distillery keeps this historic Maryland mark alive." Learn

Conoley's website describes how they came to be, "This American-made, bourbon whiskey is named in honor of John A.P. Conoley (John Alexander Patterson Conoley).

The art of blending whiskey and bourbon is an art form on its own, and Pinhook has been making some exceptional blends. The Verticle Series from Pinhook is an interesting concept.

This 80-proof is said to be aged 5 years, and the online reviews and fairly positive for this pricepoint. What will we think of this what might be considered a bottom-shelf whiskey?

Many of us started our whiskey journey by sneaking a sip of grandpa's Old No. 7 black-label bottle of Jack Daniels. The distiller has a long and storied history and a process that helps make their whiskey stand out. From the Jack Daniels website describing the Jamaican Allspice, "it's only natural that we search the world to discover new and rare woods to complement its character. Tennessee Tasters' No. 6 is an exotic experiment that finished our Old No. 7 whiskey with Jamaican allspice wood. The

Our Scotch-drinking friend Henry brought a treat for us, an offering from Springbank Distillery, Hazelburn 9-year Barolo Cask. From the distiller's website, "Our Hazelburn range takes its name from one of Campbeltown’s lost distilleries and was first produced at Springbank Distillery in 1997.
