Review #421 - Booker's 2024-03 'Master Distillers Batch'
The third batch of the year from Jim Beam's Booker's brand.
Review #420 - New Riff Single Barrel Bourbon - Barrel #12804
This was aged for 4 years, and it uses the distillery's high-rye bourbon mashbill of 65% corn, 30%, and 5% malted barley, all made from non-GMO grains.
Review #419 - Cadenhead's Glen Keith 22 Year
Here's a distillery that isn't seen as a single malt too often: Glen Keith.
Review #418 - Adelphi 2007 Breath of the Isles (Highland Park) 16 Year
Because it yielded a bottle count of 350, we know this is larger than any typical ex-bourbon barrel or hogshead.
Review #417 - Weller Full Proof
The Buffalo Trace distillery's high-strength entry in their wheated Weller line.
Review #416 - Springbank 10 Year Sherry Wood Pedro Ximenez Cask Matured (2022)
Now, at auction, the going rate is $350. Can a 10 year old sherry-aged single malt really be worth that much?
Review #415 - Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Batch C922
Super mature and oak-forward - the youngest barrels are 12 years old based on the label.
Review #414 - SMWS 41.127 'Mind That Big Ginger Fae' Moffat!' - Dailuaine 13 Year
Instead of a finish in an Oloroso cask, the distillate was initially matured for 12 years in that Oloroso butt; for the last year, they moved the spirit to a virgin oak puncheon.
Review #413 - New Riff Single Barrel Bourbon - Barrel #23275
Like all New Riff products, this single barrel bourbon is not chill filtered, and here we get cask strength presentation.

This is a mixture of sourced bourbons and the distillery's own stock, which has now aged up to 6 years old.
Review #410 - Longrow 21 Year (2022)
A limited release, this has only been bottled a few times in Springbank’s history.

Old Grand-Dad uses Jim Beam's high-rye mashbill: 63% corn, 27% rye, and 10% malted barley.

Knob Creek's 7 year old Kentucky Straight Rye - this product replaced their NAS rye a couple of years ago.

The cask makeup for this 18 year whisky is a mixture of American oak ex-bourbon casks and ex-Oloroso sherry casks.
