Four Roses Limited Edition Small Batch, 2021 vs 2024

The simple fact that the first one is from 2021, while I could have sworn it was just a little while ago I bought it, makes me feel so very old. I feel it in my bones. Every year Four … Continue reading

Smoke Wagon Uncut & Unfiltered, Nevada H&C Distilling Co., 56.6%

During COVID it wasn’t just Single Malt that had a massive revival at MaltFascination HQ, but I also got into way too expensive Bourbon. Not necessarily that the Bourbon was too expensive, but by the time it was available in … Continue reading

Heaven Hill 11, 2009-2020, 50.4% – The Daily Dram for Bresser & Timmer

A Dutch market exclusive of Heaven Hill. That’s not something that happens all too often. This one was bottled for Bresser & Timmer, the Dutch importer for The Daily Dram. And, especially for bourbon, a respectable age of 11 years … Continue reading

Stellum Bourbon, Equinox Blend #1, 58.63%

Stuff that is not available in Europe, part whatever. I picked this one up in Chicago two years ago, and decided it was high time to empty my bottle and write a review. This seems to be a thing with … Continue reading

Calumet 16, Single Rack Black Citation, bottled in 2022, 53%

When you’re traveling to the United States for work, you have to combine the useful with some fun. In this case that meant taking a very long walk from the hotel to Binny’s for some booze. Binny’s was the obvious … Continue reading

WhistlePig 12, Fiji Rum Cask, 43% – OB for Cane & Grain

A couple of months ago Whiskybase was having their Dutch Auction discount and I managed to snag this one up, among at least one other bottle. American whisky (or Canadian, because that is what the distillery started with) isn’t overly … Continue reading

Journeyman ‘Featherbone’ 4, 2018-2022, FB-18-0223, 45% – OB for The Barrel Baron

So, I got this whisky in a weird way. The Barrel Baron is a Dutch bottler and I applaud more limited edition Bourbon being available in The Netherland. It was made available through a web shop after all pre-sales had … Continue reading

Westward Single Barrel, Cask 392, 62.5% – OB for WTF Utrecht 2022

So, this year there’s a rather amazing Deanston. Last year there were two Single Barrel Westward bottlings. This cask strength one and a Stout cask that I still need to review too. This one clocks in at a massive 62.5% … Continue reading

Stillbrook 4, bottled in the 1970s, 43%

Another rather dusty bottle, but this time from across the Atlantic. This Stillbrook was produced by the American Distilling Company, in their distillery in Pekin, Illinois. Currently the distillery is supposed to be still operating, but they’re not producing whisky … Continue reading

Westward American Single Malt, Virgin Oak, 45%

A whisky I tried a little while ago, when sitting outside in the shade on a warm day. Sounds like the perfect setting for American whisky to me! This one was part of a tasting I tried participating in a … Continue reading
