Jack Daniel's 14 Year Tennessee Whiskey Review - Tasting Notes on the Oldest Expression from this Iconic Distillery in Over a Century
The oldest expression from the modern Jack Daniel's distillery is hot on the scene and making waves in the whiskey world. Seemingly distributed in one of the smallest quantities possible, I had everything to do just to get a hold of one bottle for review. Stores across Massachusetts kept telling me month after month since the Jack Daniel's press release dropped, "It hasn't arrived yet, and when it does come in, we might only get one bottle."

Jack Daniel's 12 Year Tennessee Whiskey Review: A Thorough Taste Through of 2025's Batch 03 Release
Now smack dab in the middle of the age statements that Jack Daniel's has resurrected from the annals of this historic distillery, batch 03 of the 12 year expression aims to satisfy the whiskey enthusiast looking for a little more than the simplicity of Jack's Old No. 7. Bumping up the proof from 97 to 107 as you go from the 10 year to the 12 year expression will likely help this appeal to drinkers who have sampled their fair share of pours.

Jack Daniel's 10 Year Batch 04 Tennessee Whiskey Review - Getting to the Bottom of the 2025 Release
Now in its 4th year since first being introduced in late 2021, Jack Daniel's 10 year continues to attempt to stretch the boundaries of blending prowess for an age-stated whiskey. Presumably made up entirely of 10 year old barrels, the team at Jack Daniel's certainly has a hard act to follow. Since I've covered the first 3 releases already and documented well the variability that has occurred batch to batch, this may be the seminal year for this release.

I Tasted the Rare Orange Label Weller Single Barrel—A Drinker's Take on the Completionist Collector's Folly
Many folks I see across the whiskey world hunt the orange-labeled Weller like it's a piece of treasure hidden deep beneath a sea of shelfer whiskey. You'll see crotch shots in your local Facebook groups, crazy pricing all around the horn to try to make a buck off the scarcity, and countless collectors posing the completed Weller lineup on their shelf once they manage to score the elusive Weller Single Barrel. But do people even know what it is that they're hunting? Inside thi
