  • Old Wm. Tarr Manchester Reserve Review February 15, 2021
    The nose says, “Whiskey;” the palate says, “Bourbon;” the finish says, “Rye.” I like whiskeys that take you on a journey from the nose through to the finish. As a blend, Manchester Reserve takes you on less of a journey and more around some sharp turns. The nose almost seems delicate for the proof, but the bourbon notes on the palate, followed by a strong ry […]

  • Little Book Chapter 4: “Lessons Honored” Review November 23, 2020
    Every Little Book release is, to my palate, unique and extraordinary. Fans will recognize they’re Beam whiskeys, but no standard Beam whiskeys.

It’s made for shots and the Dickel website says so: “Best enjoyed as a shot with celery salt on the rim, pickle juice, or an ice chaser.” (I’m not sure what an ice chaser is either.) […]

  • Barrel Strength Boulevardier Sour Cocktail Recipe January 24, 2018
    Recently while having dinner with my lovely wife at Ava Gene's in Portland, OR, I encountered a cocktail that actually made me rethink my approach to cocktail creation. It was a Navy Strength Negroni Sour and it was fantastic. Created by Douglas Derrick, it's utilizes a Negroni made with Navy Strength gin as the spirit in a sour. Think about that: […]
