I’ve been on a bit of a rye kick lately and realized that we didn’t have much in our collection, so we picked up a couple of things I’ve been wanting to try and instead of reviewing them one-by-one, I thought it might be fun to do a blind tasting since watching Kate do her bottom shelf […]
Read more "Blind Rye Showdown"Mustang came out with a peanut butter stout and just in time for the holidays! I drank this on a low key, post-Christmas afternoon with the fire going and the first snow of the year starting to fall.

Read more "Review: Anthem Festivus"This Bourbon was a Christmas present from my wonderful husband, Kris. I saw a present that was wrapped like a giant candy that looked an awful lot like an E.H.

Taylor Barrel Proof"If you’re curious about the original 1792, check out Kris’ review here. “The marriage of expertly crafted Bourbon whiskey and port wine barrels join together to create this distinct Bourbon.
