Sometimes there isn’t much to say about a bourbon. Allegedly Jim Beam is the world’s best selling bourbon, oops, sorry, “Number 1” bourbon. “Best selling” is something that could be […]
Back in bourbon country. I am developing a fondness for the matured southern dram, that’s for sure. Wild Turkey 81 is… getting there. I wasn’t blown away, but there was […]
Not much to say about Jack Daniel’s that you haven’t already thrown up in an alley, praying for death. They make Tennessee Sour Mash Whiskey, which legally is just bourbon […]
