  • The Bar & Craft Ice Ball Press Kit Review July 22, 2022
    The Bar & Craft Ice Ball Press is $269.99 and comes in a lovely wooden presentation box and includes the press, an ice tray, a draining mat, and tongs. The ice tray yields four 2½ inch cubes. You put the rail-sided piece on the draining mat, put one cube in the center of the press, put the top on, and the gravity and conduction do the rest. It takes abou […]

  • 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.

    There isn’t a glut of cask strength ryes out there and Riptide is an interesting addition to the category. You aren’t going to confuse it with Thomas H. Handy or Kentucky Owl. It tastes young, because it is. The intent was to showcase the rye flavor, not overwhelm it with oak. I generally find ryes seem to be drinkable at a younger age than bourbons, so I do […]

  • George Dickel Tabasco Brand Barrel Finish Whisky* Review July 3, 2018
    If you’re looking for a rich, complex whiskey to sip from your Glencairn, this is not it. If you approach this as the novelty product it is, you’ll be less disappointed. 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.) […]
