This is a great time to be an American whiskey drinker. It seems as if this amazing part of our heritage is making its way back into the spotlight in a major way. If you have been keeping an eye on whiskey expansion like we have, then you have most likely noticed the high quality [...]
There are bourbons that I could go out and buy for $45 and up, and enjoy very much. Then there are a few (probably less) bourbons that I could spend $25 for, and fall completely head over heels over. These types (the less expensive) of bourbons don’t come around often, but Four Roses Small Batch [...]
A few months ago, Charlie and Jim of American Spirit Whiskey invited me to join them at The Family Dog in Atlanta. I was coming down from Marietta, so I knew that I needed to leave a bit early to make it to Virginia-Highlands a few minutes early. Of course, I managed to take the [...]
I don’t always stumble onto bourbons from the Buffalo Trace Distillery (call it bad luck), but when I do, I buy! This past weekend, as I was deciding between restocking the Four Roses or Buffalo Trace, I ran into a bottle of Eagle Rare 10 Year Old. After talking to Spencer while he was writing [...]
We (the folks of The Trot Line) met up last weekend to have a meeting of the minds, and what meeting would be complete without a few glasses of Bourbon? Before the meeting, Spencer and I met up at one of the best places to find great spirits in Atlanta, the H&F Bottleshop. Unanimously, we [...]
It’s taken a full week, but I’ve finally drifted back to reality after experiencing what can only be described as heaven on earth, the Holy Grail of all Southern goodness – the Beer, Bourbon & BBQ Festival (BBB). The festival made its way to Atlanta for the first time ever and, with breath that still [...]
Bourbon is something that the gentlemen from The Trot Line frequently gather around. Unfortunately, we don’t review what we have been drinking nearly enough. The last bourbon we reviewed was Buffalo Trace, which was drastically different from my most recent encounter with Basil Hayden’s Small Batch Bourbon. Differences between the two bourbons were noticeable, but [...]
Buffalo Trace, the 2005-2007 Distiller of the Year, is responsible for some of the finest bourbon in production. Their stable of brands includes (but is not limited to) Blanton’s, George T Stagg, Eagle Rare and the legendary Pappy Van Winkle. In other words, these guys know how to make some bourbon! Buffalo Trace claims to [...]
Over the past year, Costco has been making noise in the alcohol market. In Georgia, they are legally allowed to sell liquor, but it is shop separated from the rest of the building. I can only assume that they have done this to side step the liquor laws in Georgia. It was a good call! [...]
