We seen the TTB label pop up several months ago thanks to @comingwhiskey on instagram and now they are finally here! Yes, I am talking about Baker’s Store Picks.   You may have noticed that last year the Baker’s Small Batch was discontinued and replaced with an all new Baker’s single barrel. So what gives? I am not sure, but Jim Beam did a great job with the packaging, they updated the new Single Barrel bottle to match that of Baker’s 13, kept the same 107 proof point, but have gone straight to a single barrel format. You may have...

Sorry Chad, I had to get in here and write this up. This is our first internal review of a whiskey and it is for good reason! This distillery was sent to me by a good friend and I was immediately drawn to the bottle shape. What could it be! It looks so familiar! Well, ill save that for last because it is not the highlight of this Bourbon. Thirteenth Colony is Georgia's original craft distillery. In 2009, they opened in Americus, GA which surprisingly made them the first legal distillery in Georgia since prohibition. Think about that for a...

I’m Trevor! The new guy here at W&W I am off work today, it is a sunny, cool morning, why not start the day off with my first review for Whiskey & Whitetails. I have been trying to decide how I wanted to handle the cigar selection for my reviews.

It is going to be difficult to find a new method of reviewing or selecting cigars to review. Should I review new cigars? Should I review old...

We have all seen them: Barrel Proof, Batch Proof, Full Proof, Cask Strength - but what are they? Are they all the same? Is there a legal requirement? Yes and no.   To get this started, I am sipping on a pour of Larceny Barrel Proof B521. Coming in at 121 proof, this wheated bourbon is rich in burnt bread and butterscotch, with a nice touch of cinnamon spice, oak, and clove on the end. Larceny has been the odd man out when it comes to the Heaven Hill BP lineup. It has seen its fair share of misses when...

This has been a long time coming but we have finally finished our studio. Lots of excitement is in the air and some awesome plans for the future. Making videos and experimenting with different forms of content has been a long time plan of ours and we are excited to say it is finally time to start.  With this space we plan to offer a video version of our weekly podcast along with more reviews on not only whiskey, but other products we use in the woods and around the bar. We plan to have more guests, be more engaging,...
