Read More: Wild Turkey 101 12-Year: A Taste of the OrientFriends, lovers, middle-aged air traffic controlsmen, listen here and listen well because I traveled the world for this review. I flew across oceans. I learned fluent Japanese at an infant’s level. I pissed off an elderly tuna monger by asking tuna many questions. What I’m trying to say is, I’ve become a man of the…

I tried to create Barrell Seagrass Grey Label by soaking regular Seagrass in oak chips. You won’t BELIEVE the results.
Read More: I tried to create Barrell Seagrass Grey Label by soaking regular Seagrass in oak chips. You won’t BELIEVE the results.Friends, acquaintances, strangers, you got clickbaited. The title says “you won’t believe the results,” but the truth is, you probably will believe the results. The Frankenstein monstrosity I created tastes nothing like Seagrass Grey Label. But that clickbait got you clicking didn’t it? It’s okay, it’s nothing to be ashamed of. Even the wisest fish in the…

Read More: I went to a Bourbon Subreddit Meetup in New York. Here’s a review.It’s been a month since u/prepreludesh reviewed the First Official r/Bourbon Meetup in Louisville, Kentucky and ushered a new era of accountability to the subreddit.

Jack Daniels Old No. 7: Write Drunk, Edit Sober
Read More: Jack Daniels Old No. 7: Write Drunk, Edit SoberThere’s some bottles I only drink after I’ve already been drinking. It’s only fitting that I review them in that same state of mind. So I had a drink, had a drink, had a drink, wrote a review, woke up the next day, read the flaming pile of turds I’d written, wondered if the hangover…

Whenever someone says they don’t like scotch, I have them try two things: (1) Macallan 12, and (2) the peatiest, grimiest, most godforsaken bottle of liquid tar I happen to have.
