We try our hands at a Rye from the Buffalo Trace Distillery. A good priced tasty rye that does deliver. Let's see how we stack up again the experts on this one.

We are all together in person first ever recording and no better bourbon to try than Buffalo Trace's EH Taylor Small Batch. Although maybe not hyped up as much as Buffalo Trace's other products, does it still live up to that hype? Join us and see.

We're back at it with the "Father of Bourbon," Elijah Craig and their barrel proof pick. It's pretty intense so we'll see if these beginners can take it.

We try our hand at something new, American single malt whiskey. Made like a Scotch, but without the peat, this is something we've been excited to try out for a long time. A great new whiskey we think should be on our shelves. Let's see how we do compared to the pros.

In this Bourbon Beginners Episode we try the somewhat elusive IW Harper 15. Aged 15 years, this is one of the oldest yet lowest proof bourbons we're having on this podcast. We'll see how we stack up against the pros.

We're trying the bourbon from the company that started the craze or was behind it or whatever because everyone wants to get a hold of it or their products. Anyway, we try the flagship of Buffalo Trace, Buffalo Trace itself. We also talk about how those pesky state run alcohol states make it very hard in a shady sort of way to get allocated liquor.

In this Bourbon Beginners' episode, we try our hand at another Smoke Wagon. This time Uncut Unfiltered which won some of their first awards and made them popular. Let's sip and see what we think.

One of the original small batch, higher priced bourbons

In this Bourbon Beginner's Episode, we try one of the newer brands on the block New Riff. We try their Single Barrel Rye and yes, we know single barrels will taste different, but many do have the same tastings notes (so we've read), and it is a hit. See how we compare against the experts in one of our new favorites.

Happy Fourth of July Week! We celebrate this week with the classic American Whiskey, Old Forester Statesman. It's widely available, but is that for good reason? Check it out our review and tasting notes.
