Master of Malt’s Dramcrackers
Last week I received a package from Master of Malt with their dramcrackers inside. Pretty cool, right? I’m not sure what to do with it though. Generally, when shops or bottlers send me booze they want a review of it … Continue reading

Old Crow, 43% +/- 1970
I reviewed an Old Crow bourbon last year, which was pretty awesome but had a crappy cap. This one is a lot better, from a regular bottle. The Italian tax label suggests that this was bottled between 1969 and 1971, … Continue reading

Widow Jane, 7yo Straight Bourbon Whiskey, 45.5% – Cacao Prieto Distillery
A seven year old bourbon from Brooklyn in New York City. When I first read that sentence, my thoughts were “New York my ass, they just sourced it from Heaven Hill or MGP or so. It turns out that it’s … Continue reading
Westward Whiskey, 2yo, Oregon Straight Malt Whiskey, 45% – House Spirits Distillery
Another one of those long titles for a simple review. I have to admit I had never heard of this distillery before my whisky buddy Shai sent me this sample. Not hearing of the distillery automatically means never hearing about … Continue reading

Bourbon Whiskey, our native spirit – Bernie Lubbers
Another book on American whiskey from the pile. I don’t remember where I picked this up and I can’t find it on my main book supplier (play.com) so it might have come from anywhere. Anyway, this book is, like The … Continue reading
