1792 Sweet Wheat

What a better time to have some sweet wheat during Thanksgiving Season. Produced by the Barton 1792 Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky, we got our hands on 1792's Sweet Wheat. We will put our mouths to the test.

Hey there Bourbon Beginners. We got our hand on the world famous Willett 4-Year Small Batch Rye— really famous for its green top—is the perfect place us beginners to start. For a long time, rye had a reputation for being aggressively spicy, but Willett changes the game by blending two different recipes for balance. Is it up to snuff? We'll see.

We got our hands on what is a supposedly highly allocated Ampersand Opimus, a 15-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon finished in Hungarian Tokaji dessert wine casks. Does it live up to the hype? We'll find out.

In this episode we try one of Andrew's favorite type of whiskey, whiskey finished in port barrels like this one from Isaac Bowman. A whiskey from Virginia as well. How do we do on trying something different from our usual repertoire?

In this we try the very affordable Old Bardstown. Does it live up to its hype? We sure think so with this bottle in bond best buy. Let's see how we hold up.

We try our hands at a Rye from the Buffalo Trace Distillery. A good priced tasty rye that does deliver. Let's see how we stack up again the experts on this one.

We are all together in person first ever recording and no better bourbon to try than Buffalo Trace's EH Taylor Small Batch. Although maybe not hyped up as much as Buffalo Trace's other products, does it still live up to that hype? Join us and see.

We're back at it with the "Father of Bourbon," Elijah Craig and their barrel proof pick. It's pretty intense so we'll see if these beginners can take it.

We try our hand at something new, American single malt whiskey. Made like a Scotch, but without the peat, this is something we've been excited to try out for a long time. A great new whiskey we think should be on our shelves. Let's see how we do compared to the pros.

In this Bourbon Beginners Episode we try the somewhat elusive IW Harper 15. Aged 15 years, this is one of the oldest yet lowest proof bourbons we're having on this podcast. We'll see how we stack up against the pros.
