Isacc Bowman Virginia Straight Bourbon finished in Port Barrels

Let me set the stage for you.

The year was 2014. It was Valentine’s Day and my wife and I were in Richmond, Virginia. We were looking to move out of Minnesota and were auditioning locals across the United States. As part of that plan, we made an effort to visit places during their most uncomfortable season. We visited Atlanta and Savannah during the height of Summer and we visited Washington, DC, and Virginia in February.

We learned a lot about each city this way. I learned that Savannah, Georgia has a kick-ass fireworks display on the Fourth of July and that Atlanta is basically the surface of the sun at that same time.

We learned that winter is cold in DC, and that snow removal is laughable in Richmond when compared to places that actually get snow on a regular basis. Luckily for them, the snowstorm that hit overnight during our stay had melted by noon.

As we happened to be in the area on Valentine’s Day, we made the decision to take the day off from looking at the neighborhood and do something fun. I mean it was nominally a vacation after all. My wife, being the amazing wife that she is, surprised me with a visit to, and tour of, the A. Smith Bowman distillery. And even though we didn’t buy any liquor on our visit, we did hit up the VABC store nearest to our hotel room to see what Bowman booze we could bring home with us. And sitting there right on the shelf was Abraham Bowman Limited Edition, Port-Finished bourbon. As that was something that I wouldn’t get at home, I snatched it up.

So fast forward to this past weekend. I’d run out of things to review. I had samples that had been promised on the way, but that hadn’t arrived yet. And I had plans that weren’t ready yet. But I had nothing left to review for you fine folks. And so I did what I usually do in such a situation and wandered from liquor store to liquor store in search of something that would catch my fancy and yet be something I hadn’t reviewed before.

Sitting right there on the shelf at the first store I visited was Isaac Bowman Bourbon. Because Isaac Bowman is also finished in port barrels, my mind immediately went back to that fun Valentine’s day in Virginia. It was in my hand almost before I realized it.

It seems that sometime around 2016, that bottle of Abraham Bowman which I had picked up in 2014 won an award for “World’s Best Bourbon” at the World Whiskies Awards. I really don’t understand whiskey awards so I’m not going to comment on how a Limited Edition Whiskey from two to three years before won in 2016, but it did. Apparently things blew up for A.Smith Bowman about that time and in late 2017, they decided to release a slightly lower proof version of that award-winning bourbon as part of their standard line-up. And so Isaac Bowman, Port finished bourbon was let loose on the world.

George Dickel Bottled in Bond No. 2 (2020 release)

Time is a crazy thing right now. As I was deciding what to talk about tonight, I said to my wife “I don’t know what to say, it’s been a year since I wrote something.”

Yeah. Obviously, it’s only been a week. But like I said time is crazy right now for everyone. I heard someone say recently “you know four, five years ago back in 2019.” I’ve also heard the time since the pandemic started described as “the fastest decade of my life.” And both of these felt right to me. The time seems to be simultaneously flying by and taking forever to pass.

But no matter how long ago it feels like, last year George Dickel introduced a new product. The initial George Dickel Bottled in Bond was a 13-year-old bonded whiskey, distilled in Fall 2005. It was released to great acclaim, becoming Whisky Advocate’s 2019 “Whisky of the Year.” It was also pretty impossible to find. At least here in Minnesota. And since I’ve been off the Diageo sample list for a while now—maybe because I gave a poor review to the Dickel Tobasco and most of the Orphan Barrels, maybe because I publically said I couldn’t endorse Bulleit anymore, I literally don’t know—I never got my hands on one.

Anyway, I was pretty stoked when I walked into my local corner liquor store and saw the blue bottle sitting on one of the lower shelves. The Dickel releases that I’ve liked best have been higher proof and higher age. And 100 proof and now 11-years-old seemed like it would fit the bill pretty well.

George Dickel Bottled in Bond No. 2

Purchase Info: $37.99 for a 750 mL bottle at Viking Liquor, Prior Lake, MN

Price per Drink (50mL): $2.53

Details: 11 years old. 50% ABV. Fall 2008 distilling season.

Nose: Cotton candy, cherry, caramel, baking spice, and a mineral note.

Mouth: Sweet with a nice tingle. Caramel, cherry, cinnamon, clove, and oak.

Finish: Medium length and heat. Strong notes of cinnamon and dusty oak.

Thoughts: Let's just say that between the time I did the tasting and now, I ran back to the store and bought two more of these. It isn't a once in a lifetime kind of whiskey by any stretch of the imagination but it is a step up from a daily drinker. And at $40 per bottle, the price reflects that.

Remus Repeal Reserve Series IV

I’d like to thank the folks at MGP and Gregory + Vine for providing this review sample to me with no strings attached.

View fullsize

Well, here we are, another November and another release of Remus Repeal Reserve. I look forward to this one every November. At 100° proof, it makes the perfect winter warme...

Wait. Wait. Now, wait just a dang minute. It’s August outside. Why on Earth is there a Bourbon that celebrates Repeal Day (December 5th) in my house in August?

Well, they’ve decided to time the release with September, National Bourbon Month, this year. And I for one, heartily approve. I mean this has been a pretty shit year and it’s nice to have nice things happen. And a fairly affordable Limited Release is a nice thing. Their press release describes it thusly:

In response to growing demand, Remus Repeal Reserve Series IV is planning an early fall release (timed with National Bourbon Month in September), and will roll out with a series of consumer tastings and events with special focus on the birthdate of George Remus (November 13) and Prohibition Repeal Day (December 5).

To be honest, this particular sample has been sitting in my closet for a month or more. They sent it out early, but I wanted to time this to closer to when other’s could get it. I was expecting that to be some time next month, but last week I got a marketing email from Binny’s in Illinois inviting folks to come in and buy a bottle of Remus Reserve Series IV. And, well, that bumped this to the front of the list.

Like all previous releases, Remus Repeal Reserve is a blend of two or more of the bourbons from the massive stocks of MGP in Lawrenceburg, Indiana. This year features a pair of 12-year-old Bourbons. One, which makes up 77% of the blend, is their 21% rye recipe. The rest of the blend is composed of their 36% rye recipe. Both of these were distilled in 2008.

Remus Repeal Reserve: Series IV

Purchase Info: This sample was graciously provided by the MGP for review purposes. The suggested retail price is about $84.99.

Price per Drink (50 mL): $5.67

Details: 50% ABV. The mash bill is composed of 77% 2008 Bourbon (21% Rye) 23% 2008 Bourbon (36% Rye). It’s available in Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Montana, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas, Wisconsin, and Washington DC.

Nose: Strong toffee and vanilla lead with hints of mint and citrus underneath. All followed with cinnamon and oak.

Mouth: Cinnamon, orange zest, mint, oak, almond, and maple.

Finish: Medium length and warmth. Notes of oak, cinnamon, mint, almond, and orange zest.

Thoughts: This is delicious. I think I say this every year, but I have yet to be disappointed by one of these. I'd say that Remus Repeal Reserve is consistently one of the best Limited Releases each year. I look forward to it every year and even though I get a sample, I almost always grab another bottle or two throughout the year. It’s a good price point and I can usually find it on the shelf. And these qualities are two of the three things I look for in a Bourbon (the third being a tasty Bourbon and this has that one covered too).

Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel

I’d like to thank Heaven Hill for providing this review sample of Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel and a small comparison sample of Elijah Craig Small Batch with no strings attached.

View fullsize

Hey there! Sorry about last week. It turns out that I had the opportunity to rent a private house on the north shore of Lake Superior for a few days and I took it. My wife and I were in desperate need of time out of our house and we felt like we could sterilize and isolate effectively enough to take the risk.

I mean it couldn’t be worse than visiting our local grocery stores where half the patrons are not only not wearing masks, but are also making fun of those who do.

And it was a wonderful trip! Listening to the waves crashing against the rocky shoreline while drinking my coffee in the morning was very relaxing. And doing it while not having internet or cell service was even more so.

But just before I left, I got a package from Heaven Hill. Inside was a bottle of the recently announced Toasted Barrel version of Heaven Hill’s Elijah Craig Bourbon. Helpfully they also included a comparison sample of standard Elijah Craig Small Batch as well as example barrel stave samples to illustrate what has causes Toasted Barrel to be different than Small Batch Elijah Craig. So what is the difference between this new expression and the Small Batch one that has been out for a few years now?

In a nutshell, it was finished in a second new charred oak barrel in which the staves had been heavily toasted and lightly charred. This bourbon started out as the same juice used in Elijah Craig Small Batch. As with most other Heaven Hill products, including standard Elijah Craig, it had been aged in a barrel whose staves were charred to a #3 level char. I’ve included an example of that below (ignore the shininess, they were kind enough to put a finish on the wood so that we didn’t get charcoal all over everything).

View fullsize

After it was fully matured, the juice that could have become Small Batch was entered into a second barrel. As I said above, this was a second new charred oak barrel. The staves were heavily toasted and lightly charred to a #1 level char. According to Heaven Hill, the toasting was done to “bring forward dark sugar flavors within the wood, caramelizing and blending them together to create a toast that is not too smoky and offers just the right amount of sweetness.” The charring was done to maintain the standards of identity of Straight Bourbon Whiskey by only using new charred oak in the finishing process. (In other words, they don’t have to say “Straight Bourbon Whiskey finished in XYZ barrels” on the label.) I’ve included an image of both of the example staves they sent along below. One stave illustrates the level of toasting that happened before charring and the other shows the char level of the staves that the finishing barrel was made of.

I think this stuff is pretty neat. But you are probably wondering how the new kid tastes and how it compares to standard Elijah Craig Small Batch.

Elijah Craig: Toasted Barrel

Purchase Info: This sample was graciously provided by Heaven Hill for review purposes. The suggested retail price is about $49.99.

Price per Drink (50 mL): $3.33

Details: 47% ABV. Finished in new charred oak barrels that have been heavily toasted.

Nose: Toffee, mint, cinnamon, ginger and hints of molasses.

Mouth: Sweet. Caramel, fruit, cinnamon and nutmeg.

Finish: Medium in both length and warmth. Lingering fruit, cinnamon, mint, nutmeg, and some cocoa.

Comparison to Elijah Craig Small Batch: Noses are pretty similar with the Toasted Barrel showing much more toffee. The mouth of Toasted Barrel is sweeter, richer and fruitier. The finish of Toasted Barrel is softer than the finish of the standard Small Batch.

Thoughts: This is great! Many of the same notes as Elijah Craig Small Batch, but more concentrated and refined. I find it to be sweeter and richer. I really like it and I'll happily grab a bottle of this if I see it.

Maker's Mark "Generations of Proof" Gift Set

A few months ago, just before COVID shut us all down, I was out furniture shopping. While I was out, I decided to stop by a liquor store that I usually don’t frequent. Just to see what they had. You never know when you are going to stumble onto something that might make a good blog post.

As I walked in, I saw that they had a complete set of the Rhetoric Bourbon Collection sitting right where their tasting bar used to be. Not being in the mood to drop $2600 on bourbon, I kept walking. But I was interested enough that I decided to see what else might be lurking on the bourbon shelves. Obviously I was looking for something that was a bit closer to a freelance designer’s price range. I wasn’t disappointed when I got to the bourbon section. Right there on the top shelf, sitting sideways so as not to take up too many facings was a Maker’s Mark collection from last year (the copyright is 2019, that’s the extent of my knowledge about this).

Now, I’m a fan of Maker’s Mark from way back. The delightful redhead was one of my first bourbon loves and really is still one of the only wheated bourbons that I like as much as bourbons that use rye. So when I saw this collection that has cask-strength versions of Maker’s, Maker’s 46, and a Maker’s Private Select, I thought that was pretty neat and decided to bring it home with me. I then stuck it into the closet and forgot about it.

I remembered it the other day when I read that this year’s limited edition bourbon was going to be Maker’s 46 Cask Strength. Now I’ve had Maker’s 46 Cask Strength before. But I’ve always had to go to Kentucky to get it. I picked up two bottles back in 2015 when they first started selling it at the distillery. I’ve also picked up a couple of Maker’s Private Select from the gift shop that only used the Maker’s 46 staves. So…essentially Maker’s 46 Cask Strength. And I like it enough that if I see that limited edition out there somewhere (I never did see last year’s) that I will probably pick that up as well.

So since it is somewhat topical, I decided to pull this collection back out of the closet and give it a look. One thing I didn’t notice when I bought it was that they have Cask Strength versions of the core product that each of the Samuels’ family developed during their time in charge. Maker’s Mark from Bill Sr. Maker’s 46 from Bill Jr. And Private Select from Rob. This particular one using a finishing stave combination that has his name on it. Like I said previously, pretty neat.

Because I’ve previously reviewed both Maker’s Cask Strength and Maker’s 46 Cask Strength, I’m only going to go over the tasting notes for the Rob Samuel’s Private Select. This is getting long enough as it is.

Maker's Mark Private Select: Rob Samuels (from Maker's Mark "Generations of Proof" Gift Set)

Purchase Info: $84.99 for the gift set (three 375ml bottle) from Lakeville Liquors, Lakeville, MN

Price per Drink (50 mL): $3.78

Details: 55.1% ABV. Staves used: Two Seared French Cuvee, four Roasted French Mocha, four Toasted French Spice.

Nose: Strong butterscotch notes followed by cinnamon and nutmeg with fleeting hints of mint.

Mouth: Warm and sweet. More butterscotch, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Oak, ginger, and almond follow.

Finish: Warm and medium length. Lingering notes of Toffee, cocoa powder, oak, almond

Thoughts: This is terrific. I really like it. I may need to keep an eye out and see if there any more of these sitting on the shelf in the area.

So how does Rob's selection compare to those of his father and Grandfather?

Comparison with Maker's 46 cask Strength: Rob Samuel's is much sweeter on the nose. It's also much sweeter on the mouth. the Maker's 46 has a nicer mouthfeel and features the oak and spice more prominently.

Comparison with Maker's Mark Cask Strength: The nose on these are similar. Rob Samuel's shows more prominent "Christmas notes" of cinnamon and nutmeg. Maker's Cask Strength is the more assertive of the two even at a lower proof. It isn't nearly as sweet as the other two but is much spicier.

If we were forced to choose our favorite, I'd say the Maker's Cask Strength is mine while my wife chooses Maker's 46 cask strength. All three are very good though and I am going to enjoy every drop in all three of these bottles.

Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond, Spring 2020 Edition

I’d like to thank Heaven Hill for providing this review sample with no strings attached.

View fullsize

Well, I stepped on the scale today for the first time in a few years. My wife told me the battery had died so I’d replaced the battery and decided to test it out to make sure it worked.

I knew I’d gotten fat, but whooo…didn’t realize it was that much.

Luckily, I’ve been down this road before. I know what to do. I have a treadmill and an exercise bike. l know how to track calories and hold myself accountable. I know not to order DoorDash twice or more per week. I know not to have as much bourbon and beer. I know all of that.

So I’m going to try to get healthy. Or at least healthier. I’ve never been a believer in giving up all the things you like. But moderation is always a good policy. And if I’m going to moderate and monitor my intake of “good things” I might as well go for quality over quantity. Have a really good meal once in a while instead of multiple “ok” but convenient ones. Have one really great pour of bourbon instead of a couple pours that are merely good.

Speaking of bourbons that should be really good, let’s look at tonight’s sample, shall we?

Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond, Spring 2020 Edition

Purchase Price: This sample was graciously provided by Heaven Hill for review purposes. The suggested retail price is about $90.

Price per Drink (50 mL): $6.00

Details: Made: Spring 2011. Bottled: Spring 2020. 50% ABV. 9-years-old. Wheated.

Nose: Cinnamon red hots, caramel rolls, vanilla.

Mouth: Cinnamon, oak, brown sugar, vanilla.

Finish: Sweet and spicy and medium length. Really getting some lingering caramel cinnamon rolls.

Thoughts: Well, my wife (the accountant and our major breadwinner) has informed me that if I happen across this one at anywhere near SRP, that it had better be coming home with me. I guess that says all that needs to be said. Well, except... Yes, ma' am!

Four Gate Whiskey Company: Batch 7, River Kelvin Rye

I’d like to thank Four Gate Whiskey Company for providing a review sample with no strings attached.

View fullsize

If you’ve been reading my work for any length of time, you will know that I am a very frugal person. Probably not as frugal as many of my readers, I mean I do buy enough whiskey to keep this site filled with reviews. But I am pretty frugal in spite of, or maybe because of, that.

I appreciate delicious whiskey but I know that you don’t have to spend a lot of money to get a delicious whiskey. In fact, much of the time what you are paying for is scarcity, not quality. Though they might line up on occasion, charging $100 for a whiskey doesn't make it a good whiskey. Charging $200 doesn’t make it better. Cost and quality can, and do often align, but that is more correlation than causation.

Take tonight’s whiskey. This whiskey is described as “95/5 Indiana Straight Rye” on the info sheet. I’m going to guess MGP but have not asked specifically. They aren’t selling a bottle of barrel strength MGP for $175 because it is amazing whiskey (though odds are that it is, MGP very consistently makes amazing whiskey). They are selling it for that price because they are only selling 1,484 bottles of the stuff.

Is the price unreasonable? Well, from the producer’s side of the equation..no idea. I have no idea how much a barrel of 7-year-old MGP rye sells for these days. But I did some quick math based on the retail cost and if every bottle sells at the Suggested Retail Price only $259,685 will be made from Batch 7. And that will need to be split between the retailer, the distributor, the tax agencies (state, local and federal), and the producer who will then use their cut to pay for overhead, supplies, and manpower while hopefully making a profit.

I honestly didn’t think that I was going to be defending the price of the whiskey when I sat down to write this. And I’m really not. Like I said above, I am super frugal, and a freelancer, so there is no way I can afford a bottle of their product. But after sitting down to do the math, I can at least understand why a company might feel the need to charge this high of a price. Whether that price is worth it to you on the retail end is not my call. But let’s see what it tastes like anyway.

Four Gate Whiskey Company: Batch 7, River Kelvin Rye

Purchase Info: This sample was graciously supplied by the producer for review purposes. Suggested retail price is: $174.99

Price per Drink (50 mL): $11.67

Details: “95/5 Indiana Straight Rye” (going out on a limb to say that means MGP though this has not been confirmed by the company), 56.6% ABV, 7 years old, 1,484 bottle batch. Available in Kentucky and Indiana.

Nose: Mint, bubble gum, brown sugar, baking spices

Mouth: Mint, brown sugar, baking spice, oak

Finish: Long and spicy. Cooling mint, brown sugar oak, cinnamon, and a hint of cedar.

Thoughts: This is a delicious rye whiskey. It is also, as I said above, way out of my price range. If $175 is an easy spend for you, then this is great. You should buy it if you see it. If like me, you gasp a little at the thought of paying almost $200 for a whiskey, then you should probably pass on this one. It is a very good “95/5 Indiana Straight Rye” (probably MGP) but there are a ton of those out there that are in my price range even if they don’t have the same age or proof on them.

I will, however, be looking forward to the two barrel finished batches of this whiskey that they will be putting out later this year. One in the “Split-Stave” style barrels that they have used on previous bourbon batches and one that will be finished in a “Ruby Port-Rum casks.” I’ve saved as much as could of this sample to compare on the off-chance they send a sample of either of them over.

Knob Creek 9-year-old (2016) vs Knob Creek 9-year-old (2020)

A couple of months ago, I did a review comparing a 2016 bottle of Knob Creek 9-year-old to the then-current Non-Age Stated version of the product.

Well, I thought it was only a couple of months ago. I went back to look at it and it was actually over a year ago on July 2, 2019, that I wrote that post. You know what they say about time moving faster as you get older, don’t you? Well, it seems I am getting older. Because I could have sworn an oath that it had only been a few months.

Well, when I wrote that, I promised that when I got my hands on one of the new age-stated bottles that I would do a comparison. And here it is. Besides, if I don’t then why did I sit on this bottle of Knob Creek for four years?

Knob Creek Nine-Year-Old (2016) vs Knob Creek Nine-Year-Old (2019)

Purchase Info: $33.99 at Village Liquor, Prior Lake, MN for the 2020 version. It’s been four years, I have no clue for the 2016 version.

Nose: Very similar. 2020 is richer on the nose showing more caramel/vanilla.

Mouth: 2016 shows a good hit of dry oak, but is feeling a bit flat when compared to 2020. 2020 is richer and sweeter, with the oak notes better integrated.

Finish: Both are very similar on the finish with 2020 following the trend of being a bit sweeter.

Thoughts: I was honestly not sure there was going to be much of a difference between these two. I mean, Beam has the resources to be really consistent about hitting a flavor profile. Though if there was going to be a difference, I would have expected that the old, discontinued version would be the one I preferred. (I’m a bit of a pessimist that way.) I'm very glad that the one I can buy now is the better of the two.

Is it possible that because stocks were running low, that maybe they ran low enough that the quality of the product was suffering slightly? Or maybe the stocks were particularly good for this batch? In any case, I'm very happy that an old favorite somehow seems to have gotten even better.
