Tonight I am reviewing an Old Hamer Single Barrel pick that @matchbourbon812 did a while back. I picked this up at Sunset Spirits in New Albany for around $40. I am assuming this is around 2+ years old and a 99% corn / 1% barely mashbill. On the nose I am getting sweet corn, cherry, and chocolate tobacco. On the palate I am getting sweet corn, dark cherries, vanilla, and a slight mint note. The mint is almost like a mentholated sensation on the back of my tongue. The finish is long with a cherry vanilla note. Think cherry coke. I currently have a few other single barrel picks from Old Hamer (@westforkwhiskey) and I love all of them! Definitely worth picking one up if you see it on the shelf. Have you had Old Hamer?

When @krogerco gives you 27 more lemons than you asked for, you make a bunch of things with lemon. My wife and I decided to make a Lemon Ricotta Cake. Of course I had to pair it with some bourbon. I went with Heaven Hill BiB because of the brown sugar notes. It paired perfectly with the sweetness of the cake.

What is your go to bottle from the @oldforester Whiskey Row Series? I’d have to say mine is the 1910. Double oaked delicious! This photo was a Christmas gift for my dad. Now it is printed and hung over his bar. This is one of his favorite bourbons so I thought I capture that for him!

What is your most favorite bottom shelf bottle? I’d have to say mine is Evan Williams Bottled-in-Bond. It always satisfies my palate and can always be found on the shelf. It has a fantastic price tag too!

Well...I guess it’s back to work tomorrow. I was fortunate enough to be able to take off work over the Holidays. Such a nice break but I am ready to get back to it! Tonight I am enjoying an old fashioned. I am using the Old Fashioned Mix from @staugustinedistillery and Benchmark Full Proof. The Full proof holds up well in this cocktail. The mix does a great job of adding spice and zest to the drink. Sometimes I will garnish with an orange or cherry. How do you like your old fashioned’s? . . This was a test shot using two new backdrops that I made over the weekend. I am in need of a lot of new surfaces for upcoming photoshoots and wanted to give them a trial run!

The bar is open. Bourbon is in my glass. All is good.
What’s in your glass tonight?

Elijah Craig Barrel Proof - Batch C920.

The Henry McKenna 10 year bonded has becoming a staple on my bar. This is one of those bottles that lives up to the hype. Even better that it MSRP’s in the $30’s. Fantastic! Have you have Henry McKenna?

I’m a firm believer that Jim Beam does no wrong. This bottle of Old Tub is a fine example of that. The great thing about it is that it’s affordable, pretty wildly available, and damn good. Have you had Old Tub?

I haven’t posted an updated bar photo in a while! My newest addition is the Starlight Distillery barrel head. My dad did some work on it to make it back lit and it’s the perfect vibe for my bar. Plus I get to rep Starlight at all times!
What are you reaching for?
Cheers! 🥃

Reviewing bourbon is fun and all but sometimes you just have to play around. Here’s a shot from todays experiment! Cheers! 🥃

Just because it snowed a bit here in Southern Indiana doesn’t mean I can’t drink a little bourbon. Bourbon will take away the chill.
