Heaven’s Door Straight Rye Whiskey, Toasted oak cigar barrels, 43%
Right. Toasted Oak Cigar Barrels. They don’t really disclose what this means on the website, apart from the barrels being air dried in the Vosges region of France. This is remarkable for two reasons: Why would they dry casks in … Continue reading

4 x Woodford Reserve: Bourbon, Wheat, Rye and Double Oak
With the recent upsurge in bourbon consumption and appreciation, I thought it was a good idea to not just rank them individually without any background, or basis. With that, it sounded like a good idea to do a bottle-share of … Continue reading
