Midleton Distillery | Jameson 18 year Bow Street Cask Strength | Ireland | $159.00* | 110 proof | 18 years old | Pot Still + Grain Whiskey

Jameson 18-year-old bow street cask strength is a homage to their origins. The whiskey is a golden straw color that entices your nose with hints of sugar cookie, vanilla, and spice touch.

This week, Whiskey Jake, Clay and Mitch take a wry look at rye and wrestlers. The boys dispel the myth that rye is bourbon's rowdy, black-sheep cousin who's way too into wrestling.

These are my tasting notes for Whiskey Acres straight rye whiskey on this particular day. The estate whiskey is located in Dekalb, IL. The distillery is home to a farm ran by 5th generation farmers.

Scotchy scotch scotch. This week, we talk whisky without the “e”. Whiskey Jake leads the discussion on Clay’s favorite of all the world’s spirits. Drink along as we talk Highlands, Islays, Speysides, single malts and blends and pontificate on the greatest action heroes of the ‘80s. Slàinte Mhath!

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.

On its maiden voyage, Captain Jake “Whiskey” Clements steers the Bottles & Bullshit Whiskeycast into uncharted waters. This week the crew discuss some of their favorite bourbons and have a spirited conversation about which superhero would win in a deathmatch.

My tasting notes or whiskey review of Teeling Whiskey's Single Malt. A 100% malted barley Irish Whiskey. They use five wine casks for maturation (sherry, port, Madeira, white burgundy, and cabernet sauvignon). The combination of barrels creates a fruit-forward whiskey on the nose. The whiskey has fruits, oak tannins, and a little spice through the taste and final finish of a cooling fruity sweetness.

This week I explore the Japanese whisky, Nikka Coffey Grain Whisky. The whiskey review shares what the Nikka Coffey Grain Whisky tastes like. A grain whisky using 95% corn and 5% malted barley.

Welcome back. This week, I explore el whiskey de Mexico called Abasolo. Abasolo is a hundred percent ancestral corn whiskey. The ancestral corn strain is called Cacahuazintle and a unique 4,000-year-old process called nixtamalization. Abasolo whiskey has an earthy sweetness that reminded me of tequila, without the agave.

I share my notes on Old Forester 1920.
