It’s waited 12 long years for me to drink it. Was it worth the wait?

Goofy name, strange packaging, lovely taste. This stuff is damn drinkable.

Very sweet and oily. Like your grandfather after a good day at the track.

I took it upon myself to try and ‘vat’ some of the underwhelming bottles on my shelf in an attempt to make them more palatable. I figured the synergy of the combined flavors would provide something delightfully unique and delicious. Well… I was wrong.

T. Whitetail Samuels Pancake Syrup

Well, after my initial experience with Ten Point Whitetail Buck Brand Caramel Flavored Whiskey, I assumed the remainder of the flash would sit idly on my shelf until I found the nerve to throw it out.

Bourbon Blending pt. 1

I have a couple bottles open that I’m just not that excited about. One in particular is Bernheim Wheat. It’s just so-so, and I have so many better things to drink. Not only that, but I’m a slow drinker – maybe one or two drams every other night (if that). A neglected bottle could sit [...]
