American Whiskey reviews

I've reviewed Batch 8 of Stagg Jr before, but batch variation (and bottle variation) being what it is, I think it's worth reviewing this bottle of Batch 9.**Tasting Notes*** Nose...

I picked this one up on a trip through the US in July. It's twelve years old (like all the Elijah Craig BP) and was released in May 2019.The colour is a very dark amber. On the nose I first get a burst…

This one came to me via my SMWS membership (it's not often that SMWS bourbons show up in Canada, so I jumped on this one). Rock Town Distillery in Little Rock, Arkansas, is the first legal distillery in…
