Send us a textHailing from the great, rainy state of Washington comes a bourbon from the fine folks of Woodinville Whiskey Co. aged 8 years and clocking in at 100 proof. It's comprised of a high rye mash bill and was aged in a low char, heavy toast barrel that sets it apart from the typical makeup of Woodinville's numerous bourbons on the market. But, can it live up to the reputation that they've carved out over their nearly decade-long tenure on the bourbon market? That's what Perry and Eric...

Send us a textIn the pantheon of big bourbon reviews, it's hard to understate the importance of being handed something as weighty as the annual Four Roses Small Batch Limited Edition release. In 2024, it sees 3 recipes, between and 12 and 20 year old bourbons, and 108 points of proof making up its DNA.

It's always a pleasure to welcome the folks from It's Bourbon Night back to the podcast, and having Chad on this week's episode is no different. Being a huge Jim Beam fan, it only made sense for us to review the new Knob Creek 10 Year Rye Whiskey and see how it stacks up in the annals of Beam's storied rye lineup. Eric also took it upon himself to put something extra special together and see if Chad could give his stamp of approval for the next round of Wheat Science. Enjoy. Leave us a 5 star...

Well, we didn't until recently, and we figured it was time to give it a review and put it through the TIMBP paces, dear listener.
