Booker's​
Booker's​

He was born to bourbon. While others rejoiced to drink bourbon at age 21, Booker was thrilled to start making the stuff. In 1992, Booker introduced the world to small batch bourbon. He actually coined the term “small batch.” With it came his own signature bourbon, Booker's ® True Barrel Bourbon.

Basil ​Hayden's​
Basil ​Hayden's​

The Basil Hayden’s bourbon brand is named in honor of Basil Hayden, Sr., who was a Maryland Catholic that led a group of twenty-five Catholic families from Maryland into what is now Nelson County, Kentucky (near Bardstown) in 1785. This area is home to many of the famous bourbon brands, including Jim Beam. There Hayden donated the land for the first Catholic church west of the Alleghenies and the first Catholic church in what is now the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

Old Crow​
Old Crow​

Old Crow bourbon brands are owned by Jim Beam, and is one of three bourbons nicknamed “The Olds” (the other two are Old Overholt, and Old Grand-Dad). Figuring such a venerable lineup wouldn’t include rot gut in the lineup, my decision to buy the $2.99 shot of Old Crow was bolstered.

Ancient Age​
Ancient Age​

Since 1946 this bourbon has been held in high regard. 80 proof and distilled from corn, rye and barley malt, it’s smooth and simple, yet robust in its own way. There is much to love about this bourbon that has withstood the test of time.

Ten High​
Ten High​

Okay, so the moment of truth awaits; the rating. At my lowest rating ever, I give Ten High a 52 out of 100. After this review, if you still find the need to drink Ten High, or god forbid buy a bottle for yourself, drink it with a mixer.

Ezra Brooks Bourbon Ezra Brooks Bourbon is Cheap on Price, but Expensive on Taste While, I am really more of a scotch drinker, Bourbon is a whiskey I enjoy during the colder months.

About Pappy Van Winkle’s Family Reserve 23 Year Bourbon Many aspects of Pappy Van Winkle’s Family Reserve 23 Year Bourbon are dark: dark fruits, dark spices, espresso roasted coffee, browned butter, charred oak, toasted nuts, and star anise are the standout flavors.

Virginia ​Gentleman​
Virginia ​Gentleman​

Virginia Gentleman is a step or two above a well whiskey, but not much more than that. I rate it a 65 out of 100. Enjoy this stuff with some Coke or Ginger Ale.

New Holland ​Beer Barrel Bourbon​
New Holland ​Beer Barrel Bourbon​

Beer Barrel Bourbon is first aged in new American oak barrels before finishing in Dragon's Milk stout barrels. The beer-barrel lends biscuity notes and a smooth malt character to the robust whiskey tones of toffee and caramel.

Beam Knob ​Creek​
Beam Knob ​Creek​

Knob Creek is a brand of Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey produced by Beam Suntory at the Jim Beam distillery in Clermont, Kentucky. It is one of the four Jim Beam small batch bourbon brands targeted for the high-end liquor market. Its siblings in the line are Booker's, Baker's, and Basil Hayden's.
