The third episode pairing different whiskeys with Halloween candy. What does Longbranch taste like with grape Nerds or Dalmore 12 with Hershey’s?

Distilled in Tennessee | Doc Swinson's Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished in a Sherry Cask | Bottled in Washington | $* | 90 proof | 12 years | 84% corn, 8% rye, and 8% malted barley.

The light amber color does not say you are about to sip a 12-year bourbon.

The second episode pairing different whiskeys with Halloween candy. The whiskey is Ranger Creek .36 Straight Bourbon, Devils River Small Batch Texas Rye, and Glenfiddich 14 Year Bourbon Barrel Reserve. The Candies are the Gobstopper, Laffy Taffy, Sweet Tart, and Nerds.

In the first episode, I explore the classic Hershey bar, Kit Kat, Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, and the Almond joy. The whiskeys are Treaty Oak Ghosthill Bourbon, Balcones Texas Rye 100, and The Famous Grouse Ruby Cask Finish.

Sourced for Oak & Eden | Bourbon & Vine | $54.99* | 90 proof | At least 3 years old | 60% corn, 36% rye, and 4% barley | Cabernet French oak steeped spire

The red wine jumps out with subtle traces of vanilla, chocolate, and leather.

Brown-Forman | Early Times Bottled In Bond | Kentucky | $20.99* | 100 proof | At least 4 years old | 79% corn, 11% rye, and 10% barley

Approachable in taste and wallet. This is a bourbon that can be an everyday drinker that you're proud to share with your friends.

Tasting note #5 - I share my thoughts on Jim Beam's bottled in bond bourbon and what the hell does bottled in bond even mean. A well-rounded bourbon at a friendly price point.

I share my notes on Old Forester 1920.
