34: The Blind Old Fashion Face Off

Welcome to Blue Collar Whiskey Drinkers. On this episode are doing a blind old fashion face off with three of our top rated whiskeys. High West Whiskey American Prairie Bourbon, Legent Bourbon and Russell's Reserve 10 Year Old. All three whiskeys are in our 3.3 category. 

 

"American Prairie™ Bourbon is a complex blend of straight bourbons producing an aromatic whiskey that helps preserve the West. This whiskey is named after and in support of The American Prairie Reserve, a non-profit working to create the largest land reserve in the lower 48 states."

 

"Legent is a Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey partially finished in wine and sherry casks. But it's more than that. It pushes the boundaries for how bourbons can be created while remaining true to the core of bourbon's principles. It's a collaboration between two whiskey legends – Fred Noe & Shinji Fukuyo – and two unique styles of whiskey making."

 

"Legendary bourbon-makers Jimmy and Eddie Russell use their vast knowledge to craft this 10-year-old classic. Aged in No. 4 alligator char barrels and bottled at 90 proof, this small-batch bourbon has spicy vanilla flavors and a smooth finish. The intense oak woody-ness of Russell’s Reserve® allows it to stand up to the bold flavor combinations of Campari® and rich sweet vermouth in the Boulevardier."

 

Go grab yourself one or all three of these bottles and let us know what you which one is your favorite.

32: Whats your whiskey? (Smoke Wagon Straight Bourbon Whiskey)

Welcome to Blue Collar Whiskey Drinkers. On this episode we will be having our first guest of 2022 this is part of our "Whats your whiskey?" series. On "What's your whiskey?" we will be reviewing the whiskey that our guest recommends. On this episode our guest Dylan recommended SmokeWagon Straight Bourbon Whiskey.

"Just released in fall of 2019, the goal was to create an affordable everyday bourbon that had that unique and unmistakable Smoke Wagon flavor, consisting of delicate sweet notes with a rye spice finish. Barrels with our same high rye mash bill were racked on the top two floors of the warehouse and never rotated. The higher the floor the hotter it gets in the summer causing more expansion and more movement into the wood. Because we don’t chill filter, these combined aspects create a bourbon that is rich and creamy beyond its years. Never rotating the barrels ensures there are no harsh tannin flavors and the high rye mash bill adds a delightfully spicy and nutty finish." (Smoke Wagon)

31: Redbreast 12 Year Old

Welcome to Blue Collar Whiskey Drinkers. On this episode we review Redbreast 12 Year Old Irish Whiskey. This is our pick for St. Patrick's Day.

 

"Made from a mash of malted and unmalted barley and then triple distilled in copper pot stills, Redbreast 12 boasts the flavour complexity and distinctive qualities of Pot Still whiskey. Matured in a combination of Bourbon seasoned American Oak barrels and Oloroso Sherry seasoned Spanish oak butts, the distinctive Redbreast sherry style is a joy to behold in each and every bottle."
