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

Vintage Bourbon 25, 1976-2001, 43%
Old Bourbon is not a common thing anymore. At least, not until you start shelling out thousands of bucks on a bottle. The same goes for Scotch, but to a slightly lesser degree. So when Nils sent me a sample … Continue reading
Pure Kentucky 17, 1983-2000, Batch 00-70, 53.5%
A very old bourbon indeed, both in the way that it is 17 years old, which is very old for an American whisky, and that it was distilled 40 years ago. Bottled before we even had Euros. I got a … Continue reading
Vintage Bourbon 17, 1983-2000, 43%
Vintage Bourbon is both a description and a brand name. It also is something I’ve been eyeballing in auctions for years but prices are fairly insane. Of course, any old whisky and especially older bottlings of old whisky are insanely … Continue reading
