Cracking Open Heaven's Door Tennessee Bourbon: Apricot Jam & Spice (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week we’re finally cracking a bottle that’s been sitting unopened on our shelf for far too long: Heaven’s Door Tennessee Straight Bourbon Whiskey, the expression now known as Revival. We find spice, nutmeg, apricot, caramel and a lovely syrupy mouthfeel before disappearing down a few fascinating whiskey rabbit holes. We talk about Bob Dylan and the story behind Heaven’s Door, the distinctive design of the bottle, and Dave tries to untangle the difference between Tennessee Whiskey and Tennes
2XO Sneakerhead: The Bourbon We Never Would Have Picked (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sometimes you need to stop choosing your own bourbon and let someone else put something in your glass. That’s how we discovered 2XO Sneakerhead Blend at Evergreen Liquors in Louisville. We told an incredibly knowledgeable bartender what we liked, asked him to pour us something we hadn’t tried—and ended up liking his recommendation enough to bring a bottle all the way back to Australia. This week we’re revisiting that bottle and finding buttery hazelnuts, candied orange, chocolate, oak and even s
Purple Wax & Pinhook: Bourbon, Wine & Kentucky Racehorses (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week we’re opening our first bottle of Pinhook—and Helen was sold before we’d even tasted it because it came dipped in purple wax. It’s a Pinhook Single Barrel Cask Strength selected by Whiskey Hunt Australia: five years old, 115 proof and packed with fresh fruit, green apple, caramel and some rather unexpected fairy-floss vibes. But the story behind Pinhook might be even more interesting than the whiskey. We discover why its bottles deliberately resemble wine bottles, why Pinhook doesn’t n
Michter’s 10 Year Bourbon: 6 Things They Do Differently (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week we’re opening a particularly special bottle: a 2025 Michter’s 10 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon that Dave’s friends gave him for his 40th birthday. And it’s an absolute cracker. We find currants, dark chocolate, baked fruit, caramel and sweet oak before getting into some of the things that make Michter’s whiskey so distinctive. We work our way through six production choices Michter’s makes differently, including its 103 barrel-entry proof, extended wood seasoning, toasted barrels, smal
Batch 36 Breakthrough: Barrel Bourbon Tastes & Tales (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week we’re pouring Barrell Bourbon Batch 36, a fascinating blend of bourbons sourced from Kentucky, Indiana and Tennessee. The components range from 7½ years old all the way to 15 years, with a derived mash bill of 79% corn, 16% rye and 5% malted barley. And it’s bloody good. We find citrus, marmalade, strawberry jam and a wonderfully chewy caramel character before getting into the bigger story behind the bottle: why being a non-distilling producer gives blenders the freedom to combine diff
