For those of you that have been around for a while, you may remember us reviewing Bowman Brothers Small Batch Bourbon with Bourbon of the Week. This week we review the single barrel version. It comes in at a slightly higher proof, is smooth and an overall interesting pour but with a steeper price point that brings up the argument as to whether or not single barrel bourbons are worth it. They can be hit or miss on flavors and are a bit pricier.Whiskey: John J Bowman Single Barrel BourbonPrice: $50Proof: 100Age: Not Disclosed but have heard that it is a 10 yearWhiskey Talk: Little League and SportsLinks:Email: [email protected]/TikTok/Twitch: @whiskeybizpodcaskYoutube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs16q1Q7hF0m8N3O1YY4gMwPatreon: www.patreon.com/whiskeybizpodcaskMagic Mind: https://www.magicmind.com/whiskeybiz code: WHISKEYBIZ20Promo Codes: podcask5 @ cwspirits.com and empirejerky.comZencastr Code and Link: https://zen.ai/xi20uzdM_kVx_FHps0eaNuSMjrbmF7i5JsWt1yJ37KM

The newest release out of Heaven Hill is the Grain to Glass Series with their 3 different bottles, the bourbon, wheated bourbon, and rye. We review the bourbon this episode.

With Victor out on medical leave, Devo and Rob take on this review in full stride.

Well, this was one of those bottles you see and it looks familiar but so different. This bottle was a dusty when I bought it. It was bottled in 2018 and I bought it around 2022-2023.

This week we have an interesting one. We are still kicking ourselves in the ass for not pairing Kirkland BiB vs 1792 BiB but mistakes were made and we can only move forward. This week we have Heaven Hill a favorite to win it all up against Kirkland Bottled in Bond, a definite underdog in the bracket.

We have a special episode in store for you this week. Our patron, Kevin joins us for EH Taylor Small Batch vs Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. This is probably the biggest price gap between bottles, not necessarily at MSRP, but when looking at what most people can find the bottle for. Can Evan Williams BiB pull out the upset?

Bottled in Bond is usually a great choice, but is it a good choice under $20? Early Times Bottled in Bond comes in right under that for a liter bottle. Yes, you heard us right, under $20.

This week we have a special guest, Sergio. You likely have heard him on with us before, but he recommended this bottle and wanted to join us to review it. This High Rye Boubon has a nice palate and is solid across the board. The tricky part with Rabbit Hole is they tend to have a higher price tag than a lot of other distilleries. Is it worth it?Whiskey: Rabbit Hole HeigoldPrice: $65Proof: 95Age: 3 YearWhiskey Talk: We go back to one of our favorite topics to talk about, sports.Links:Email: [email protected]/TikTok/Twitch: @whiskeybizpodcaskYoutube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs16q1Q7hF0m8N3O1YY4gMwPatreon: www.patreon.com/whiskeybizpodcaskMagic Mind: https://www.magicmind.com/whiskeybiz code: WHISKEYBIZ20Promo Codes: podcask5 @ cwspirits.com and empirejerky.comZencastr Code and Link: https://zen.ai/xi20uzdM_kVx_FHps0eaNuSMjrbmF7i5JsWt1yJ37KM

Well, we learned something new this week. Bulleit has a single malt whiskey and we (being primarily bourbon and rye lovers) do our best to review this. It definitely has a unique flavor that is different from what is usually expected from Bulleit.Whiskey: Bulleit Single MaltPrice: $60Proof: 90Age: Not Disclosed but aged in new American Oak barrlesWhiskey Talk: Did you know we are scientist?

It has been a while since we have reviewed a Penelope product. At one point, Penelope was one of the up and coming whiskey brands (they source, so not a distillery). Now, they are a fairly well known brand that can be fairly easily found throughout the US. The Architect is a bourbon aged with French oak staves which gives the whiskey unique flavor that does not drink the proof.Whiskey: Penelope ArchitectPrice: $60Proof: 104Age: 4-5 yearsWhiskey Talk: We discuss the "Challenges" (i.e. one chip challenge, sour challenges,....)Links:Email: [email protected]/TikTok/Twitch: @whiskeybizpodcaskYoutube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs16q1Q7hF0m8N3O1YY4gMwPatreon: www.patreon.com/whiskeybizpodcaskMagic Mind: https://www.magicmind.com/whiskeybiz code: WHISKEYBIZ20Promo Codes: podcask5 @ cwspirits.com and empirejerky.comZencastr Code and Link: https://zen.ai/xi20uzdM_kVx_FHps0eaNuSMjrbmF7i5JsWt1yJ37KM

Well, if you follow any "Whiskey Influencers" on any social media platform, you likely have heard of the most recent whiskey from Buffalo Trace. Traveller Whiskey is a Buffalo Trace and Chris Stapleton collaboration that leads to an interesting whiskey. More suited for those newer into the whiskey scene, it produces a smooth sip favoring the sweeter side.

What is up everyone? This episode finishes up our Under $20 January. We got lucky with these. They were all pretty good, at least relatively. Devo picked or final whiskey for this series and surprise surprise, it's a rye. Also, if you have followed along for a while, you probably would guess that Rob would not pick a Jack Daniels bottle. We hope you enjoy a glass with us (unless you are driving, then do not!!).Whiskey: Jack Daniel's RyePrice: $19.99Proof: 90Age: NAWhiskey Talk: With the presidential candidates trying to get picked, they are coming up with some interesting plans/ideas.

For the 3rd part of under $20 bottles, we have Wild Turkey Bourbon, the first well known one of this segment. If you've followed us for a while, you likely know that we enjoy Wild Turkey 101, but surprisingly, none of us have every had Wild Turkey Bourbon. The big question is, is it still good?Whiskey: Wild Turkey BourbonPrice: $18Proof: 81Age: 5 YearWhiskey Talk: The first Night Vision Googles used by the US had a red tint instead of the green we see now.

Jim Beam Black label is under $20? It sure is. Finally an under $20 bottle from a well known distillery.
