    • 2024 Little Book The Infinite Bourbon Review

      Welcome back to DadDimes on the Rocks! Today, we’re reviewing something truly unique and innovative: Little Book Chapter 1: The Infinite Bourbon. Created by Freddie Noe, eighth-generation Beam distiller, Little Book is known for its experimental blends, and The Infinite is where it all started. Let’s see if this ambitious concept lives up to its name.


      The Concept

      Little Book The Infinite is a blended bourbon whiskey that’s crafted to be truly unique. Freddie Noe combined multiple whiskeys—ranging from young, bright spirits to rich, mature bourbons—into one harmonious pour. The idea was to blend innovation with tradition, resulting in a dynamic, ever-evolving profile.


      Key Details:


      • Type: Blended Bourbon Whiskey
      • Proof: 124.4 (62.2% ABV)
      • Blend: A mix of straight bourbons and straight ryes, aged from 4 to 13 years.
      • Name Inspiration: The blend represents the “infinite” possibilities of flavor combinations.

      • Bottle Presentation


        The bottle is sleek and modern, with a handwritten-style label that emphasizes the small-batch, handcrafted nature of the whiskey. The golden amber liquid inside has a rich, glowing hue, hinting at the depth and complexity of this blend. The cork and wax seal give it that extra touch of refinement.


        Tasting Notes


        Nose


        The aroma opens with a medley of caramel, toasted oak, and vanilla. Beneath that initial sweetness, you’ll find hints of rye spice, leather, and dark fruit—like cherry or plum—along with a light floral note. The high proof brings warmth to the nose, but it’s not overpowering.


        Palate


        The first sip is bold and intense, thanks to the high proof. Layers of flavor unfold, starting with caramel and honey sweetness, followed by spicy cinnamon, clove, and black pepper from the rye. The oak influence is prominent but not overly tannic, adding balance to the profile. Mid-palate, you’ll notice dark chocolate and toasted nuts, with a subtle hint of citrus zest. The blend of younger and older whiskeys creates a lively, dynamic experience.


        Finish


        The finish is long, warm, and satisfying. Spice and oak linger on the palate, with echoes of vanilla and dark fruit that gradually fade. Despite its proof, the finish remains surprisingly smooth, showcasing the craftsmanship behind the blend.


        Overall Impression


        Little Book The Infinite is a bold and ambitious whiskey that pushes boundaries. The high proof and complex flavor profile make it a pour for experienced whiskey drinkers who enjoy exploring the nuances of expertly blended spirits. It’s not a casual sipper—it demands attention and rewards you for taking the time to savor it.


        This bourbon is best enjoyed neat for the full experience, though a splash of water or a large ice cube can help mellow the proof and open up more subtle flavors.


        Conclusion


        Little Book Chapter 1: The Infinite sets the tone for the series, combining innovation with tradition in a way that feels fresh and exciting. It’s a statement bottle, perfect for collectors or those looking to expand their palate with something truly unique. While the proof may scare off beginners, seasoned whiskey fans will find it an exceptional addition to their shelf.


        That’s our review of Little Book The Infinite Bourbon. As always, sip responsibly and enjoy the adventure in every glass. Cheers!

        • Broken Barrel Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Review

          Bottle Presentation


          Welcome back to DadDimes on the Rocks, where we sip, savor, and share our thoughts on the best (and sometimes the unexpected) whiskies. Today, we’re diving into something a bit unconventional: Broken Barrel Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. Known for its innovative approach of using barrel staves to influence flavor, Broken Barrel is carving a unique path in the bourbon world. Let’s see what their Small Batch expression has to offer.


          Bottle Presentation


          Broken Barrel Small Batch Bourbon comes in a striking bottle with a bold, contemporary design. The clear glass showcases the warm amber hue of the bourbon, while the label features detailed notes about the unique stave blend used in crafting the whiskey. The aesthetic is modern and eye-catching, hinting at the creative process behind the spirit.


          The Stave Profile

          The signature feature of Broken Barrel bourbons is their use of oak bill staves—additional pieces of wood that are added during the aging process to impart specific flavors. For the Small Batch expression, the stave profile typically includes:


          • 40% Ex-Bourbon Cask Staves for traditional caramel and vanilla notes.
          • 40% New French Oak Staves for spice and complexity.
          • 20% Sherry Cask Staves for a hint of dark fruit and richness.

          • This unique approach sets Broken Barrel apart, offering flavors that go beyond what traditional barrel aging achieves.


            Taste


            On the nose, Broken Barrel Small Batch offers an enticing mix of sweet and spicy aromas. Notes of caramel, honey, and vanilla are upfront, followed by subtle hints of toasted oak, dried fruit, and baking spices. The sherry cask influence brings a faint touch of raisin or fig, adding intrigue.


            Taking a sip, the first thing you notice is the layered complexity. The initial sweetness of caramel and butterscotch transitions into spicier tones of cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove. The mid-palate reveals rich oak flavors, complemented by a subtle fruity undertone, likely from the sherry staves. There’s also a touch of nuttiness, adding depth to the profile. The mouthfeel is medium-bodied, with a pleasant warmth that’s not overpowering.


            The finish is medium to long, with lingering spice, oak, and a hint of dark chocolate. It’s well-balanced and leaves you wanting another sip.


            Overall Impression


            Broken Barrel Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a testament to innovation in the bourbon industry. The use of stave profiles adds a creative twist, resulting in a complex and enjoyable whiskey. It’s bold yet approachable, making it a great choice for both bourbon newcomers and seasoned enthusiasts who want to try something different.

            This bourbon shines when sipped neat or with a splash of water to open up the flavors. Its unique profile also makes it a standout in an Old Fashioned or Manhattan, adding a new dimension to classic cocktails.



            Conclusion

            In summary, Broken Barrel Small Batch Bourbon delivers a unique and flavorful experience. The oak bill concept sets it apart, and the balance of sweet, spicy, and oaky notes makes it a compelling pour. Whether you’re looking for a conversation piece or simply a delicious bourbon to enjoy, this one’s worth a try.


            That’s our review of Broken Barrel Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. As always, drink responsibly and savor every sip. Cheers!

It’s a no-nonsense design that lets the whiskey speak for itself.


            Taste


            On the nose, Batch #31 opens with a blend of rich caramel and vanilla, backed by notes of oak and a hint of dark fruit—perhaps cherry or plum. There’s also a warm spice, with hints of cinnamon and clove, giving it a classic bourbon aroma with a bit of added depth.


            Taking a sip, you’ll find that this bourbon is smooth and well-rounded. Upfront, you’re greeted with sweet caramel and honey, which transition into bold notes of toasted oak and baking spices. There’s a touch of dark chocolate and a faint herbal note that adds complexity without overpowering the core bourbon flavors. The mouthfeel is rich and slightly creamy, coating the palate nicely and leading into a lingering finish with warm spice and oak.


            The finish on Batch #31 is medium to long, leaving behind a gentle warmth and hints of vanilla and oak that remind you of the quality and craft behind this batch. It’s balanced, with enough character to stand out but smooth enough to be enjoyed by both seasoned bourbon drinkers and newcomers.


            Overall Impression


            MASHBUILD Batch #31 Straight Bourbon Whiskey is an impressive and carefully crafted bourbon. The blending process shines here, with each flavor profile well integrated and balanced. It’s versatile enough to enjoy neat, on the rocks, or in a quality bourbon-forward cocktail. For fans of complex, well-rounded bourbons with a smooth finish, Batch #31 is a great pick.


            Conclusion


            In summary, MASHBUILD Batch #31 brings a well-executed and balanced flavor profile that’s worth the try if you can find it. Its rich layers of caramel, oak, and spice make it a satisfying pour, perfect for those looking to try something unique and crafted with care.

                                    • Proper 12 Irish Whiskey Review

                                      Welcome back to DadDimes on the Rocks, where we explore the world of whiskies and bourbons to find what’s worth pouring into your glass. Today, we’re switching it up and heading to Ireland to review the popular Proper No. 12 Irish Whiskey. Created by MMA superstar Conor McGregor, this whiskey has generated a lot of buzz since its launch. Let’s see if it lives up to the hype.



                                      Bottle Presentation


                                      Proper No. 12 comes in a sleek, dark green bottle that feels solid and well-crafted. The label features an Irish lion emblem, and the overall look conveys a modern yet classic Irish whiskey vibe. It’s a simple but attractive bottle that’s easy to spot on the shelf, with "Distilled, Matured & Bottled in Ireland" proudly displayed.


                                      Taste

                                      On the nose, Proper No. 12 is approachable and light, with immediate notes of vanilla, honey, and hints of green apple. There’s also a slight touch of grain and malt in the background, along with a faint whiff of oak, giving it a classic Irish whiskey profile that feels familiar and inviting.


                                      Taking a sip, you’ll notice that this whiskey is smooth and easy to drink, characteristic of Irish blends. The flavor profile begins with sweet notes of vanilla and caramel, followed by subtle hints of spice and oak from the barrels. There’s also a light fruitiness—like pear or apple—that adds a refreshing layer. The grain influence gives it a bit of a cereal-like quality, and while it’s not overly complex, it’s certainly enjoyable and balanced for a casual pour.


                                      The finish is medium-length, soft, and slightly warm, with lingering vanilla and a touch of toasted wood. It doesn’t have a strong burn, making it easy to sip neat or over ice.


                                      Overall Impression


                                      Proper No. 12 Irish Whiskey delivers exactly what you’d expect from an approachable Irish whiskey: it’s smooth, light, and easy to drink. It’s not overly complex, but that’s part of its charm—this is a whiskey for casual sipping or mixing in cocktails, not necessarily something to break out for a whiskey-tasting event. Its sweetness and mild flavors make it an excellent entry point for those new to whiskey or for those who enjoy an uncomplicated, everyday pour.


                                      For fans of Conor McGregor, Proper No. 12 offers a connection to his Irish roots, and for whiskey fans, it provides a decent, reasonably priced bottle for casual occasions.


                                      Conclusion


                                      In summary, Proper No. 12 Irish Whiskey is a smooth, straightforward Irish blend that’s perfect for casual sipping or mixing in cocktails. While it may not rival more premium Irish whiskies in terms of complexity, it shines as an easy-drinking, accessible whiskey with a modern twist. Whether you’re toasting a victory or just enjoying a laid-back evening, Proper No. 12 gets the job done.


                                      That’s our review of Proper No. 12 Irish Whiskey. As always, drink responsibly and savor every sip. Sláinte!

                                    • Blood Oath Pact 10 Bourbon Whiskey Review

                                      Welcome back to DadDimes on the Rocks, where we bring you the latest reviews on some of the most exciting bourbons in the game. Today, we’re diving into a limited edition that bourbon enthusiasts always look forward to: Blood Oath Pact 10 Bourbon Whiskey. Part of the ongoing Blood Oath series, Pact 10 has a lot to live up to. Let’s see what this expression brings to the table.

                                      Bottle Presentation

                                      Blood Oath Pact 10 comes in the brand’s signature rectangular bottle, adorned with a label that looks as if it was pulled straight from an ancient manuscript. The deep amber liquid inside adds to the allure, and the wooden top gives it a premium, artisanal feel. As with every release in the Blood Oath series, Pact 10 feels special right from the moment you set your eyes on the bottle.


                                      The Blend and Aging


                                      What makes Pact 10 interesting is its unique blend of bourbons. It’s a combination of three different bourbons, ranging from 8 to 12 years old. One key aspect is that part of the blend is finished in sherry casks, which imparts additional complexity and richness to the final product. That sherry cask finish is designed to bring a layer of fruity sweetness that plays well with the bourbon's oak and spice elements.


                                      Taste


                                      On the nose, Blood Oath Pact 10 greets you with rich, inviting aromas of dark fruit, caramel, and vanilla. The influence of the sherry casks is immediately noticeable, giving off hints of dried raisins, figs, and subtle red berries. There’s also a layer of spice—think cinnamon and clove—alongside oak and a bit of toasted sugar.


                                      Taking your first sip, you’ll immediately notice the depth of flavor. The entry is smooth, with sweet notes of caramel, honey, and butterscotch, quickly followed by dark fruit flavors from the sherry finish—plums, cherries, and even a hint of orange zest. The oak influence adds a sturdy backbone, with layers of toasted wood and a nice balance of spice. The mouthfeel is rich and velvety, coating your palate with warmth. As it develops, you’ll pick up more complex flavors, like dark chocolate, tobacco, and a little leather.


                                      The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering notes of dried fruit, oak, and a touch of spice, leaving a slight sweetness behind. That sherry cask finish really ties the flavors together, making this bourbon both rich and refined.


                                      Overall Impression


                                      Blood Oath Pact 10 Bourbon delivers a well-rounded and sophisticated experience. The blend of different bourbons, combined with the sherry cask finish, adds layers of complexity that you don’t find in just any bourbon. It’s a bourbon that reveals more with each sip, making it perfect for slow sipping and contemplation.

                                      This is the kind of bourbon you’d break out for a special occasion. Its limited-edition nature and the craftsmanship behind it make it a sought-after bottle. Whether you’re a fan of previous Blood Oath releases or this is your first, Pact 10 stands out as one of the most interesting and flavorful expressions in the series.


                                      Conclusion


                                      In summary, Blood Oath Pact 10 Bourbon Whiskey is a bourbon that deserves its spot in any serious collection. Its blend of bold flavors, balance of sweetness and spice, and that beautiful sherry finish make it a unique and memorable pour. If you come across a bottle, don’t hesitate—it’s worth every drop.


                                      That’s our review of Blood Oath Pact 10. As always, drink responsibly and savor every sip. Cheers!
