With Devo out, Victor stepped up in a big way with strong review and whiskey talk skills. He definitely stepped up and knocked it out of the park. Well, on to the whiskey. This week Victor and Rob try Penelope Rio, a triple cask aged bourbon out of Penelope. It is hard to find and on the pricier side, so is it worth it? I hope we do a good job of a…

We have another whiskey from Heaven's Door on tab this week. This is their newest line of whiskey called Revival that appears to be favoring the more budget friendly consumers. Their other whiskey is not necessarily overpriced but from what we have seen, this is the first sub $40 bottle we have found. Whiskey: Heavens Door Revival Price: $40 Proof:…

Rob heard good things via TikTok about our first Missouri bourbon review. Ben Holladay has it's fair share of different types of whiskeys but we decided on the Bottled in Bond. An interesting sipper that is so unique that we experienced flavors that we have not really experienced before in bourbon... Whiskey: Ben Holladay Bottled In Bond Bourbon Pr…

This had to be the least excited review we have had in some time, but it lead to a surprisingly interesting episode. One of our patrons requested that we review Buffalo Trace Bourbon Cream. We don't want to spoil too much (like leaving this out after opening), but our thoughts may surprise you. Whiskey: Buffalo Trace Bourbon Cream Price: $25 Proof:…

Longbranch was our highest rated bourbon for quite some time. Over time, our palates have changed and we were not sure if we rated it too highly. The only major change since our original review is the bourbon is no longer affiliated with Matthew McConaughey. Is it really as good as we originally thought it was? Whiskey: Longbranch Bourbon by Wild T…

As you all know, we are big fans of Old Forester. They have great whisky so we couldn't pass up a couple of bottles of their Single Barrel Barrel Strength Rye. Does it stand up in terms of high proof ryes? Is it as good as the Barrel Proof Bourbon which is one of our all time favorites? We wanted to know as much as you do. Whiskey: Old Forester Sin…

In this week of what the hell are we doing, we review 5 different Jim Beam flavored whiskeys. We know.... not a great choice but it has been a while since we have done something like this. So, are there really some that aren't that bad? Whiskey: Jim Beam Apple, Red Stag, Vanilla, Honey, and Peach Price: $15 Proof: 65 Age: Who cares... Whiskey Talk:…

Although we have never done Blackened, Rob got a killer deal on the Wes Henderson Collab, so we had to do a review of it. If you were unaware, Blackened is aged in a rickhouse where they play Metallica music. Who knows if it helps but this collab made for a very interesting sipper. Whiskey: Blackened X Wes Henderson Price: $100 Proof: 116.2 Age: 6 …

While Rob was on his cruise/honeymoon, he picked up a special Jack Daniel's bottle. Yeah, we know that it doesn't make sense but he did. Well this specific bottle is only available overseas or at Duty Free areas. It was a unique experience and gave us a flavor of Jack Daniel's that we have not experienced. Whiskey: Jack Daniel's Travelers - Sweet a…

Well, we started with 1 whiskey but decided to review 2 and boy, did we have 2 polar opposite whiskeys. Creek Water is an American whiskey, aged a minimum of 1 day and Resilient 16 Year Bourbon, is aged a minimum of 16 years. One interesting thing we learned was Creek Water is Yelawolf's whiskey which if you don't know Yelawolf, he is a white rappe…

Well, after having the Ocean, which is a fine pour but a bit pricey, we were a bit unsure why Victor wanted to do it, but he did not let us down. It is a nice pour with pretty much everything you would like in a bourbon.

Surprisingly, we have never done a full review of Angel's Envy Bourbon, but that changes today... An interesting pour for a port barrel aged bourbon that has a lot of flavor for it's low proof. Also, interestingly enough, the pricing on this bourbon has not really increased like the other Kentucky bourbons out there. Whiskey: Angel's Envy Bourbon P…

Rob has been searching for this bottle for some time based on a review he heard online. Surprisingly, it is from a company not too far from us and he found it while out of town. With that being said, this rye is a 95% Rye that has a very unique palate and flavors we did not expect.... Whiskey: Black Market Rye Price: $40 Proof: 90 Age: 3 years Whis…

We are a bit late to this one, but Victor gave Rob this bottle for Christmas and we have been meaning to review it.

As you all likely know, we have a special spot in our hearts for Bulleit, except the single malt (just a huge mistake). So, when we saw the 12 year Rye, we had to give it a shot. The only major change to this rye whiskey was over doubling the age. It is quite a smooth sipper with some good flavors, but does it hold up to the higher price tag than B…

Devo picked another "wonderful" whisky. This one aged in Cabernet Sauvignon wine barrels from Napa Valley, which is in California if you weren't sure. It is very wine forward with some interesting flavors in the mix. The big question is, "Is it Devo Pour approved"?

We have a double header this week with 2 different Cadee Distiller whiskeys, their bourbon whiskey and Deceptivus (bourbon aged in Portuguese Port barrels). We had never heard of this distillery, from Washington, before and it came in at an intriguing price point and with some awards to it's name. Is it worth the price? Whiskey: Cadee Bourbon Whisk…

This week we have an interesting one. We are still kicking ourselves in the ass for not pairing Kirkland BiB vs 1792 BiB but mistakes were made and we can only move forward. This week we have Heaven Hill a favorite to win it all up against Kirkland Bottled in Bond, a definite underdog in the bracket. Can Kirkland (aka 1792) upset the strong contend…

We have a special episode in store for you this week. Our patron, Kevin joins us for EH Taylor Small Batch vs Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. This is probably the biggest price gap between bottles, not necessarily at MSRP, but when looking at what most people can find the bottle for. Can Evan Williams BiB pull out the upset? What do you think? Whisk…

This week we have a special guest, Sergio. You likely have heard him on with us before, but he recommended this bottle and wanted to join us to review it. This High Rye Boubon has a nice palate and is solid across the board. The tricky part with Rabbit Hole is they tend to have a higher price tag than a lot of other distilleries. Is it worth it? Wh…

Well, we learned something new this week. Bulleit has a single malt whiskey and we (being primarily bourbon and rye lovers) do our best to review this. It definitely has a unique flavor that is different from what is usually expected from Bulleit. Whiskey: Bulleit Single Malt Price: $60 Proof: 90 Age: Not Disclosed but aged in new American Oak barr…

It has been a while since we have reviewed a Penelope product. At one point, Penelope was one of the up and coming whiskey brands (they source, so not a distillery). Now, they are a fairly well known brand that can be fairly easily found throughout the US. The Architect is a bourbon aged with French oak staves which gives the whiskey unique flavor …

What is up everyone? This episode finishes up our Under $20 January. We got lucky with these. They were all pretty good, at least relatively.

We hope yo…
