Yellowstone Select Bourbon

Yellowstone Select Straight Bourbon Whiskey Spirit: Bourbon, 83 Proof Origin: Kentucky Availability: $50 Retail Rating / Score: 86% or B After having tasted the Yellowstone 105 proof at $150/bottle, I thought surely it would be interesting to taste the “Select” 93 proof at a fraction of the price. For $50 its pretty good, however, to compare it to other whiskey in that price range it might be…

Jefferson's Ocean Voyage 7 Cask

Jefferson’s Ocean Voyage 7 Cask

Jefferson’s Ocean Voyage 7 Cask Strength Spirit: Bourbon, 112 Proof Origin: Kentucky Availability: $79 Retail Rating / Score: 93% or A Even before I tasted this I knew it was going to be sweet. Not just sweet on the palate, but a sweet dram of whiskey. I’ve always been a fan of Jefferson’s, especially their Ocean series. Basically what they do is load up barrels of their bourbon on a cargo…

Burnside Bourbon

Burnside Bourbon Spirit: Bourbon Whiskey Origin: Oregon Availability: $22 Retail Proof: 96 proof Rating / Score: 79% or C+ This is a really light but delightful bourbon which is reminescent of baby Sazerac Rye. In fact I would have mistaken it as a distant cousin of Sazerac, just like Jeffers Creek is a watered down version of Old Weller Antique. Same thing here, it has the flavor profile of…

Yamazaki 12yr Japanese Whiskey

The Yamazaki Single Malt Japanese Whisky 12 year The Yamazaki Japanese Whisky has escalated in price in recent years. Speculation is the whisky trend craze in general, but many attribute the steep rise in prices of Japanese whiskey is due to the Tsunami earthquake in Japan a few years back. When supplies were wiped out, existing stock escalated. The Yamazaki 12 year is around $75/bottle while…

Zinburger Zinburger Many friends told me that the best burger they've ever had was at Zinburger. Granted, we are all from North Jersey, and this chain of less than a dozen is primarily only located in North Jersey, it leaves a lot open for debate, however, this is a really great burger regardless.

Rating / Score: 87% or A- Orphan Barrel Forged Oak Bourbon has a great number of mixed reviews.

Pikesville Rye

Pikesville Straight Rye Whiskey Spirit: Straight Rye Whiskey Origin: Maryland USA Strength: 110/55% alcohol Price: $50 Availability: Common The color on this is really attractive. If not for the clarity it looks like really fine rum. It tastes good and has a bit of burn on the finish, but a good kind of burn, you gotta love that sort of thing. This is very smooth, very drinkable and has a lot of…

Got my taste of Pappy Van Winkle today. Just need to try the 23yr old to complete the set. It's good stuff but not worth the hassle to get. Just order it at the bar and pay the price #bourbon #whiskey #pvw #pappyvanwinkle

Macallan M

Macallan M When I first saw this in a liquor store I saw it behind what looked like a bullet proof glass case and had a price tag of $5,000. I thought to myself it must have been from a private barrel owned by Napoleon, a King, or even raised from the Titanic. While its history is not as rich as its price tag, it had taken years of Macallan’s master whisky maker Bob Dalgarno to curate.…
