- Buffalo Trace & Woodford Reserve Double Oaked · 48 min · Jakso 33These two need to be on everybody's shelf! Buffalo Trace at $30-ish is a solid, all-around choice. You can't go wrong with it. As for the Woodford Reserve Double Oaked... There's…
- Horse Soldier Straight Bourbon Whiskey & Redwood Empire Pipe Dream · 44 min · Jakso 32Two choices with really interesting back stories this time... Horse Soldier, named for the Green Berets who fought in Afghanistan after 9/11, and Redwood Empire that sources…
- Clyde May's SBW & Yellowstone Toasted · 44 min · Jakso 31A pair of light, easy-sippers this time. We both rated both at 3.0 and recommend against using them in cocktails. For sure, neat is the best option, although the Yellowstone…
- High West & Early Times Bottled In Bond · 39 min · Jakso 30We both got pretty excited about this episode! The High West was a nice surprise, and we gave it a solid "2" rating. The big winner, however, was the Early Times Bottled In Bond…
- George Dickel 8 Year & Heaven Hill Bottled In Bond · 44 min · Jakso 29Two winners this time. The Dickel 8 Year is quite simply a solid sipper. It's not going to blow you away, but it's solid stuff at a great price point. Heaven Hill BOB earned a…
- Weller Antique 107 & Bluegrass Toasted Oak · 54 min · Jakso 28Wow! The Bottom Shelfers strayed pretty far from the bottom shelf this time. We tasted Todd's (former) favorite bourbon, Weller Antique 107, as well as his new favorite…
- Monks Road and Daviess County Straight Bourbon Whiskey - Live from Louisville! · 33 min · Jakso 27The Bottom Shelfers hit the road to Louisville! Thomas, Mark, Matt & Josh joined Rick & Todd for in-depth research in the heart of bourbon country. More on the trip coming in the…
- Blue Note Crossroads & Bernheim Wheat · 43 min · Jakso 26This time we tried something we never tried before, a wheat whiskey! The 51% wheat really came through. A very low-key, easy-sipping experience. I say, "Drink it neat!" Also…
- Peneleope Wheated & 1792 Bottled In Bond · 44 min · Jakso 25A step up for the boys this time. Penelope Wheated & 1792 Bottled In Bond. Both are winners! Stock up for your Holdiay guests! The 1792 BIB struck us both as an especially good…
- Woodinville Straight Bourbon Whiskey & Benchmark Full Proof · 45 min · Jakso 24Woodinville is a great everyday bourbon choice. Solid sipper both neat on a rock. The Benchmark Full Proof might be better used as a stain remover or paint thinner. WAY to hot!…
- Benchmark Top Floor & Yellowstone Select · 38 min · Jakso 23We had high hopes for Benchmark Top Floor, but... We both went with 1.5 and were maybe a bit generous. The Yellowstone is pretty good! One caveat though... Rick got it for $30…
- Kentucky Vintage & Remus · 46 min · Jakso 22Neither of us had heard of these two before... The Kentucky Vintage, well... sadly, it's going under the sink. The Remus wasn't too bad at all, but not a big favorite. We took…
- Episode 21 - Old Bardstown & Benchmark Bonded · 45 min · Jakso 21Heading to a lower shelf set of bourbons this time... Old Bardstown 90 Proof vs. Benchmark Bonded. While the Benchmark #8 did not impress, some of the other expressions - like…
- Bowman Brothers Small Batch & Eagle Rare · 36 min · Jakso 20Got a pair of 90-proofers this time around. LOTS of similarities between these two... The biggest difference is the rye spice in Bowmans. We both called these "classic mid-tier"…
- Smoked Bourbon! Benchmark #8 & Woodson · 26 minThe Bottom Shelfers have a theory... Using a smoker (from Smokeshow) it is possible to turn mediocre - or even bad - whiskey into something quite palatable. Rick has been a fan…
- Woodson & 13th Colony · 33 min · Jakso 18An Independence Day special!!! Woodson, a 6-month "accelerated-aged" Kentucky Bourbon was... eh..., but the 13th Colony was quite a pleasant surprise. Not exactly true bottom…
- Tin Cup & Breckenridge · 41 min · Jakso 17The Tin Cup cup hexagonal bottle with the literal tin cup lid is very cool. That said, it's a 1. It's going under the sink. Not offensive by any means, but unremarkable. The…
- Jim Beam Black & Benchmark Single Barrel · 41 min · Jakso 16
- Episode 15 - 1792 Small Batch & Knob Creek 9-Year Small Batch · 48 min · Jakso 15Sticking with the Small Batch designation and welcoming the first guest on The Bottom Shelfers. Welcome to Mark! While our guest couldn't get hold of the 1792, he kept Rick & I…
- Jim Beam Devil's Cut & Old Forester 100 · 44 min · Jakso 14The Devil's Cut from Jim Beam was OK. Maybe a little gimmicky marketing... The Old Forester 100 though! One of us just might put this one on the "my everyday bourbon list."…
