Known for its bold, meaty, and sometimes sulphury style, Craigellachie has earned a reputation as a whisky that divides opinion but never fails to stand out. We taste through a line-up of Craigellachie whiskies, from core range favourites to unique bottlings, and share our honest, uncut thoughts along the way. Expect big flavours, lively discussion, and plenty of banter as we explore what makes Craigellachie such a cult favourite for whisky enthusiasts.

Send us Fan MailWe head to Chicago to taste Koval Distillery and dig into how two PhDs built a grain to bottle “black sheep” whiskey brand that helped revive city distilling. Then we run a full tasting and score the Four Grain Single Barrel that hits us with banana bread sweetness and a finish that keeps us debating. • how Koval returns distilling to Chicago after Prohibition • who Dr Robert Birenker and Dr Sonat Birenker Hart are • what grain to bottle means in a small urban distillery • why organic and kosher production changes expectations • four grain mash bill with oat malted barley rye and wheat • rye whiskey notes with pepper heat and creamy mouthfeel • bourbon notes and why it shines in cocktails • wheat whiskey at higher proof and why it feels “toasted” • Old Louisville Whiskey Company barrel bottle breakdown scoring • why 375ml bottles make collecting and tasting easier go to Apple Podcasts, find us, and leave a good review Plus, you can become a member on Facebook, you could become a member on on YouTube. Please do that Chicago doesn't get enough credit for shaping American spirits, so we're heading straight into Koval Distillery, a modern craft producer that helped bring distilling back to the city in 2008. John Ritt joins me as we break down Koval's origin story: two PhDs leaving established careers, betting on whiskey, and building a grain to bottle operation focused on consistency, creativity, and ingredient driven flavor. Koval also leans into a rare stance for American whiskey: certified organic and kosher production, plus mash bills that refuse to play it safe. Then we taste. We crack into a Koval sampling pack and work through Four Grain, Rye, Bourbon, and Wheat Whiskey with real time notes and plenty of debate. The Four Grain is the shocker. With no corn and a mix of oat, malted barley, rye, and wheat, it lands like confectioners sugar and banana bread in a Glencairn, sweet without feeling syrupy. The rye brings grassy aromas and a pepper flake finish, the bourbon shows a bolder bite that makes us think “Old Fashioned ready,” and the wheat whiskey drinks big and toasty at higher proof. We finish by choosing a winner for our Old Louisville Whiskey Company barrel bottle breakdown and talk about why Koval works best when you stop comparing it to Kentucky and start appreciating regional American whiskey on its own terms. We also get into cocktail potential, a quick hack for blending bourbon and rye, and why 375ml bottles might be the most practical move for collectors who actually want to drink what they buy.

Top recommendations for the holiday season often include approachable, high-quality bottles as well as unique or rare finds. For the Beginner or Casual DrinkerIf the recipient is new to whiskey, opt for a smooth, balanced, and versatile option that can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in a cocktail. Bourbon: Buffalo Trace or Four Roses Small Batch are widely available and well-regarded, offering classic notes of caramel and vanilla without being too overwhelming.Irish Whiskey: Jameson or Redbreast 12 Year are excellent choices known for their exceptional smoothness due to triple distillation and balanced flavor profiles.Scotch (Unpeated): Glenlivet 12 Year or Glenfiddich 12 Year are classic, approachable single malts with fruit and malt flavors, serving as a solid introduction to the category. For the Enthusiast or ConnoisseurFor someone with a more developed palate, look for single barrel, cask strength, or age-stated bottles that offer complexity and unique flavor profiles. Bourbon: Elijah Craig Barrel Proof offers rich caramel, vanilla, and oak flavors, while Blanton's Single Barrel is a highly sought-after and collectible option.Rye Whiskey: Wild Turkey Rare Breed provides a high-ABV, complex experience with notes of spice and oak. A quality single barrel store pick of Knob Creek Rye is also a great option.Scotch (Peated): For those who enjoy a smoky flavor, Ardbeg Corryvreckan provides an intense maritime peat experience, or a more subtle introduction can be found with Bowmore 15 Year.Unique Finds: Japanese whiskies like Hibiki Japanese Harmony are elegant blends that offer a different profile of honey, orange peel, and oak.

Remember, good bourbon equals good friends and good times. Drink responsibly and don't drink and drive. Live your life uncut and unfiltered.Bourbon innovation meets tequila tradition in our exploration of Booker's Reserve 2025 – a groundbreaking release that takes Booker's barrels on an international journey before creating something truly spectacular.This unique expression began with Booker's 30th Anniversary barrels that traveled to Jalisco, Mexico, where the Camarena family used them to age El Tesoro tequila. When those same barrels returned to Kentucky, they carried rich agave notes that would transform a special batch of Booker's bourbon during a 2-3 month finishing period. The result? A first-ever finished Booker's that bridges Kentucky tradition with Mexican craftsmanship.Our tasting reveals a masterful balance of bourbon character and tequila influence. At 123.3 proof, this 8-year, 10-month bourbon delivers waves of caramel, vanilla, and baking spices complemented by subtle agave brightness. What's most remarkable is how approachable it remains despite its strength – the perfect fireside companion for winter evenings. The distinctive brown wax seal (rather than traditional black) visually connects this innovative expression to early Booker's releases.Freddie Noe has established the Reserve series as his playground while honoring his grandfather's experimental spirit. As Freddie notes, Booker "was never not exploring" and would eagerly share his tinkering with friends and family. This philosophy lives on in a bourbon that scored an impressive 17.5/18 on our rating scale, making it a must-have for collectors and enthusiasts alike.Whether you're a longtime Booker's fan or exploring premium bourbon for the first time, this release demonstrates how thoughtful barrel finishing can add fascinating dimensions to an already exceptional whiskey.

Remember good bourbon equals good times and good friends. Drink responsibly and live your life uncut and unfiltered.Heaven Hill's Old Fitzgerald bottled-in-bond series has gained a devoted following among wheated bourbon enthusiasts, and the 7-year expression might just be the sweet spot in their lineup. This elegant decanter-style bottle with its distinguished wooden top houses a remarkable spirit that strikes the perfect balance between youthful vibrancy and mature complexity.When I poured this bourbon into my Glencairn glass, the rich amber liquid immediately caught my attention with its impressive viscosity. At 100 proof, it coats the glass with medium-thick legs that slowly cascade down the sides – a promising indication of the full-bodied experience to come. The nose opens with waves of caramel complemented by subtle ethanol, followed by enticing hints of butterscotch and gentle toasted oak notes that become more pronounced as the whiskey breathes.The tasting experience truly elevates this bourbon above many of its competitors. That first sip delivers a distinctive toasted coconut butterscotch flavor that sets it apart from other wheated bourbons on the market. The sweetness is perfectly balanced by oak tannins that provide structure without dominating the delicate wheat characteristics – a problem that sometimes affects the older expressions in this series. While the finish isn't extraordinarily long, it leaves a pleasant impression with lingering notes of butterscotch and subtle oak warmth.At approximately $60, this expression represents excellent value in today's premium bourbon landscape. It earned an impressive 15 out of 18 points on our comprehensive barrel breakdown rating system, with particularly high marks for its exceptional taste profile. Whether you're a dedicated collector or simply looking for a delicious pour to share with friends, the Old Fitzgerald 7-Year delivers a refined experience that showcases Heaven Hill's mastery of wheated bourbon production.

This groundbreaking single malt defies conventional aging wisdom by maturing in the extraordinary conditions of the Dead Sea region – 1,400 feet below sea level where temperatures soar to 124°F and atmospheric pressure creates a whiskey environment unlike anywhere else in the world.The Whiskey Doctor joins us for this special Whiskey Without Borders episode to unpack what makes this Israeli innovation so fascinating. We discover how extreme maturation conditions create an astonishing 25% angel's share per year, meaning 75% of this whiskey evaporates during its three-year aging process. The result? A surprisingly complex whiskey that delivers far beyond its young age.As we taste through this 111-proof expression, we uncover a remarkable sensory journey – from chocolate and burnt marshmallow aromas to hints of campfire smoke and unexpected tropical fruit notes.

Remember, good bourbon equals good times and good friends.Dive into the fascinating world of wheated bourbon with our comparative tasting of the 1792 Sweet Wheat 2025 release against its 2023 counterpart. This episode uncovers the remarkable transformation that happens when a quality wheated bourbon sits open for a year, developing complex layers of flavor that weren't present upon first pour.The Barton 1792 Distillery, established in 1879 by Thomas Moore, continues its tradition of excellence with their Sweet Wheat expression. At 91.2 proof, this bourbon replaces the traditional rye grain with wheat for a softer, more approachable profile while maintaining the distillery's signature character. Our side-by-side analysis reveals how oxygen exposure dramatically enhances this whiskey's profile over time.Our freshly-opened 2025 bottle immediately impressed with its long legs in the glass and a beautiful body that coated every corner of the mouth. The nose offered toasted notes with prominent vanilla, reminiscent of Brach's candy chews, eventually developing subtle cherry hints. On the palate, it delivered a remarkable cherry transition that one taster described as a "cherry flavored cigar" with a lengthy finish that earned it high marks in our rating system.Meanwhile, the 2023 bottle that had breathed for a year showed the magic that happens with patience. Its nose had transformed to showcase significant caramel development, while the taste featured an intense "momentary butterscotch" explosion that transitioned beautifully to cherry notes. Though its finish was shorter than the fresh bottle, its evolved complexity earned it equal overall points through different strengths.Whether you're new to wheated bourbons or a seasoned enthusiast, this episode offers valuable insights into how these spirits develop over time. The next time you crack a bottle of wheated bourbon, consider setting some aside to experience months later – you might be surprised by how dramatically it transforms.

Me and Derek, our resident bourbon expert, explore more aspects of the bourbon world, including brand loyalty, the cost of collecting bourbon, and the emotional connection people have with their favorite brands. We talk about 'taters' (bourbon enthusiasts who wait in line for rare bottles and collect them without opening) as well as some other bourbon slang, such as the 'angel's share' (the alcohol vapor that evaporates from the barrel during aging) and the 'devil's cut' (the bourbon that soaks into the wood of the barrel). What about a "fake tan," a reference to distillers adding artificial caramel coloring to bourbon to make it appear like it has aged longer. We also discuss bourgon related topics like the difference between whiskey and bourbon, the use of flavorings and finishes, the importance of glassware, and the moonshine. We cover a lot, and I can tell you that it brought up another idea for our next episode: History Lessons from the Bourbon World. Takeaways The bourbon world is more complex and involved than expected, with a wide range of brands and information to explore. Brand loyalty is common among bourbon enthusiasts, who find emotional connections to their favorite brands. Collecting bourbon can be costly, especially when seeking rare and limited-edition bottles. The 'angel's share' refers to the alcohol vapor that evaporates from the barrel during aging, while the 'devil's cut' is the bourbon that soaks into the wood of the barrel. There are discussions about the possibility of distillers adding artificial caramel coloring to bourbon to make it appear aged longer. Bourbon is a type of whiskey that must meet specific legal requirements, including being made in the United States and aged in new charred oak barrels. Flavorings can be added to whiskey, but not to bourbon. However, bourbon can be finished in different barrels to add additional flavors. The choice of glassware, such as the Glencairn glass, can enhance the tasting experience by concentrating aromas and maintaining the temperature of the whiskey. Moonshine refers to illegally distilled spirits, and the term should not be used to describe legally produced grain liquor. Personal preference plays a significant role in choosing and enjoying bourbon, and there is no right or wrong way to drink it. If you need expert advice about something you don't know much about, and need a little guidance, send me an email at andy@buylikeaguy.com and I'll do my best to cover it in an upcoming show. If you're “that guy,” (and of course you can be a woman) that people should hear from because you know your sh*t about a certain subject, please reach out to me, and let's talk about how we can work together.

WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE. RIGHT? Matt Jordan takes over for the second time as host of the good ship 3Q3D, and in so doing, leads a fun and fascinating conversation with Chris Mikolay and Sam LiPuma – an author, professor and 3Q3D newcomer – that explores several of the most interesting questions ever posed on the podcast. Over 3 drinks as unique as each question, Matt, Chris and Sam debate whether it's ever okay to take a life, ponder the pros and cons of immortality, and finally, bets are placed on what happens when the lights go out. The three may not all agree on the answers to each question, but one thing is for sure: drink enough Angels Envy bourbon…and you will receive total consciousness (which is nice). Drinks in this Episode:White Russian >> 2 oz vodka, 1 oz Kahlúa, 1 splash heavy cream. Add the vodka and Kahlúa to a rocks glass filled with ice, top with the heavy cream by pouring it over a spoon so it looks like a Starbucks beverage made for a sorority girl.Pineapple Banana Orange Crush >> 2 oz pineapple/banana/orange juice, 2 oz orange vodka, 1 oz Triple Sec, lemon-lime soda like Sprite or 7UP. Pour juice, vodka and Triple Sec into a glass filled with crushed ice. Top off with Sprite/7 up and garnish with an orange wedge. Stir and, provided humanity has finally cured death, enjoy for the next several millennia.Angels Envy Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey >> Pour at least two fingers into a proper Glencairn glass and don't even think about using ice. Raise a glass to the angels above who wish they could have just a taste.
