  • Revue de Bourbon Podcast - Basil Hayden Rye
    Dusty and Wayne return to the podwaves after a brief hiatus/sabbatical with a brand new episode!  The whiskey up for review is a two for one, Basil Hayden Rye and Dark Rye.  Long-time listener and second time caller Brian phones in and consfuses everyone.  We also have the privilage to ask the man himself, Mr. Merideth Basil Hayden Sr., 20 questions in a new segment called "20 Questions with a Famous Person".  Theres also whiskey filled chocolates from Andalusia Whiskey Co., a Christmas themed Quickdraw, and much much more!!
    Tasting Notes -
    Rye (Exclusive Release) - Nicely balanced yet not quite achieving the rye punch we were looking for.  Although once again Basil Hayden comes through with a very flavorful 80 proof whiskey.  Like its bourbon contemporary, the Rye has a lot to offer with strong but suble hints of orange, ginger, and perhaps a sprinkling of baseball mit leather. 
    "...i've never had it." - Caller Brian
    "A beautiful rye finish." - Wayne
    Dark Rye - Not just a clever name, it's dark, and delicious.  If you like port then you will certainly be pleased with this new product from Basil Hayden.  The rich bitter raisiny sweetness of the California port is  a nice juxtaposition to the spiciness of the rye.  Best enjoed with an ice cube after dinnner.
    "It's almost refreshing!" - Wayne
    "I'm going to pour a little bit more." - Dusty

    Tasting Notes

    • Westland Distillery

    Sherry Wood American Single Malt - Color is deep with slight redish as you would expect coming from a sherry barrel. Fruity nose. Palate is brandy like, cherry, fruity, maintaining the whiskey integrity throughout for a mature hot finish. Quite nice for a picnic.

    – “a good transition for that scotch drinker looking to try whiskey” – HotRod (RDB guesthost)

     American Oak Single Malt – Light in color. Cinnamony, nutty, almondy, chocolatey, stouty!

    - “that was a really goo [...]

  • Revue de Bourbon Podcast: Bottom Shelf Blind Challenge
    Dusty & Wayne return once again for the final first round of "Bottom Shelf Blind Bourbon Taste Test Challenge!" That's right, we've blindly tasted 15 bourbons from the bottom shelf or $15 and less.  For this episode we brought in special guest Les Wilhelm, a jack of many trades.  On the menu for tonight's review is Kentucky Tavern, Rebel Yell, and David Nicholson 1843.  We also have a spirited round of "Quickdraw" where Wayne and Les answer some bottom shelf questions, but probably not the kind you're thinking of.  Look out! Revue de Bourbon podcast train is coming through full steam ahead....
