Copperworks' Farmsmith American Single Malt was introduced in 2024, and I enjoyed it. The 2026 release, made with Genie Pale Malt barley, is a unique adventure. My review, available at Whiskeyfellow.net or the link below, gives all the details. Cheers!

Johnnie Walker’s newest blend, Black Cask, takes some of the core #whiskies from Black Label and ages them exclusively in former Bourbon casks. I thought it was pretty darned good. My review on Whiskeyfellow.net, or the link below, explains why. Cheers!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Today, I’ve reviewed Natterjack “The Mistake” Blended #Irish #Whiskey, named for the distiller “forgetting” whiskey was resting in charred oak barrels, so they let it go an additional year. Cheers!

Using rye and wheat in a mashbill is far from unusual. Using only rye and wheat in an American Rye whiskey certainly is. Today’s review, available at the link below, explores how Larrikin Single Barrel High Wheat #Rye #Whiskey turned out. Cheers!

In 2014, I reviewed J. Mattingly 1845 Double Staved™ #Bourbon & it earned a Whiskeyfellow Award. Now, it is available at 96 proof. Do 23 points make that big a difference? My review, available at Whiskeyfellow.net or the link below, addresses that. Cheers!

Today is Bottled-in-Bond Day, celebrating the passage of the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897. It was one of the first consumer protection laws and guaranteed the quality of American spirits carrying the Bonded label.
Enjoy today, and celebrate responsibly. Cheers!
That's why I love this wonderful world of whiskey!
Cheers.

I must admit, I'm growing tired of politicians, etc., saying, "I will release the unredacted Epstein list if Pam Bondi doesn't do it."
Just do it already.
