Happy Day 2 of National Bourbon Heritage Month! Today's pour is the iconic Wild Turkey 101! With it high corn mash biill, it has a sweet vanilla syrup nd toffee notes that are balanced out with spicy rye, baking spices and oak. A great sipper and mixer in cocktails. It is distilled by the longest serving MastervDistller Jimmy Russell and still under $30. Win, win and win!
Cheers and good pouring!

Happy 1st day of National Bourbon Heritage Month!!!
The first bottle and pour of the Month is Elijah Craig Small Batch. Named for the man some credit with first maturing whiskey in charred oak barrels that became bourbon. At 94 proof and easily approachable, f it has all the traditional bourbon flavors of vanilla, caramel, baking spices and oak. A great introduction pour and starter pour to a great Month! Cheers and good pouring!

Green River Honey Finished Bourbon.
For less than $20, this one is a keeper.
The honey perfectly cuts some of the ethanol from the younger whiskey, while adding a pleasant texture and rounder flavor profile.
Great for cocktails or enjoying neat. This is also one i wouldn't hesitate to give someone new to trying whiskey neat.

Willet high proof bourbon has always peeked my interest but the price of 4 plus years has stopped that. I’ve heard many mixed reviews about the bourbon. If I had the money for the high age stated bottles I would try!
Thankfully Willet released a 4 year small batch bourbon that is affordable.
This pour is Willet Straight Kentucky Bourbon Small Batch
On the nose I get light maple, ethanol and oak.
On the palet I got toasted oak and stone fruit almost like a plum.
On the second palet I got vanilla and oak impact.
Definitely a good pour and good introduction to the Willet line. Hopefully in the future I can try the higher aged bourbon!

The anatomy of a pour. A pointillism study in watercolour, capturing the light through the crystal and the weight of the decanter. For those who find as much beauty in the glassware as the liquid within. 🎨🥃

In the dim, damp corners of the warehouse, the oak works quietly. Here, where time holds sway, the spirit finds its character. As a painter, I’m naturally drawn to these shadowy, breathing spaces. It's where I find myself capturing the “angel’s share” in watercolour. 🕯️🌳
There’s a quiet generosity to a whisky sour, where bright citrus mingles with the warm depth of the spirit. 🍋🥃 While it’s traditionally bourbon, tonight it was a Scotch affair. Just a small reminder that all these spirits are kin at heart, rooted in craft and place.
For me, whisky isn’t just about what’s in the glass; it’s about the ritual of making, sharing, and memories.
Do you enjoy the occasional whisk(e)y sour?

Outlaw barrel proof bourbon. This one landed at 129.6 proof. This bottle is not lacking anything. Full bodied wheated bourbon really shows what Utah weather can do for aging whiskey. @Outlaw Distillery uses Utah grains for the Ut distillery and Arizona grains for the Az distillery both unique to their region. If you love craft distillers and great whiskey grab you a bottle and enjoy. Aging:American White Oak and French Oak
Aroma:Sweet, Butterscotch, Vanilla
Palete:Spice, Cinnamon, Cherry, Oak
Finish:Caramel, Vanilla. #outlawdistillery #bourbonhunting #whiskey #barrelproof #bourbon
Since I'm going to be spending the next couple of days in the Piney Woods of Texas, figured I would try this.

Old Terrell Single Barrel.
This is a great single barrel bourbon coming in from a recently revitalized brand.
The nose has a lot of sweet bread dough notes and clove and baking spices.
The pallette is pleasant, with a slight mesquite spice in the oak profile. Comes in at 117 proof, and it drinks right at its proof.
Perfect neat or over ice.
Best served outdoors

The session was with Old Forester 1910, the classic double oak with a story to tell. Born from being barrelled a second time after a fire it has chocolate and caramel notes as well a bit of spice. A great and easy night ending pour.
Cheers and good pouring all!
