The first release in Found North's High Altitude series.

The oldest whiskies from New Riff to date - in the Spring of 2025, for the distillery's whisky club releases, they bottled a 10 year old bourbon and 10 year old rye.

Potentially the final release in Wild Turkey's Master's Keep collection, at least for the time being - this is Beacon, a Kentucky straight bourbon.

A Texas whisky made in collaboration with the band ZZ Top - this is Tres Hombres from Balcones.

New Riff's high-rye mashbill often contributes to a strong spicy note in their bourbon.

Sagamore doesn't actually distill this 9 year rye - they don't yet have distillate this old, and this whisky was sourced from Indiana, specifically from MGP.

This is Jim Beam's Knob Creek 9 Year Bourbon, one of the best-selling bottles in the $25 to $40 range.

Single malt labeled as Williamson is actually Laphroaig - the name Williamson is a reference to their famed distillery manager and owner Bessie Williamson.

It isn't often you see unpeated Bruichladdich bottled by an independent bottler; it's even less common that is has a hefty age statement such as 29 years.

This blend takes Knob Creek bourbon and Knob Creek rye and mixes them together.

This bottle harkens back to the 'diamond' decanters used for the Old Fitzgerald brand in the 1950s.

Auchroisk is a large operation with a theoretical capacity of just under 6 million liters per annum; most of that production goes into Diageo blends.

While the Castle & Key brand is quite young - it began operations in 2018 - the distillery that it employs has a much longer history.

While the source isn't specifically disclosed, the mashbill used for these double oaked 'gold label' single barrels is consistent with the Willett distillery mashbill.

This single cask was matured for a total of 9 years; in an unusual move, the bottle actually lists a second fill ex-bourbon hogshead as the 'finishing cask' on the label.

There was a Thomond Gate distillery that operated from 1809 to 1919, but it closed due to a combination of grain rationing and the American Prohibition.

Raasay specifies that both Oloroso- and Pedro Ximenez-seasoned casks were used for finishing (50% for each type).

The current rye whisky offering from Balcones Distilling - this is their bottled-in-bond Texas rye.

While the distillery does still offer a rye whisky, this bottle we're reviewing is actually an older rye release.

Because of the year of bottling, the spirit in this batch came from some of the earliest distillations at Lochranza.
