If you’ve been in the Bourbon Buyers Club for a while, you know that it’s really once in a blue moon that I offer up a Tennessee Whiskey. In the past if I’ve done one, it’s been from our friends at George Dickel, but today’s is every bit as worthy as offering up.
This one comes from Old Hickory – who have been players in the Whiskey market since the 1860s when they were originally making Bourbon in Fayette County. They would move to Tennessee at the tail end of the century, and have remained a fixture in the southern Whiskey for generations.
Tennessee Whiskey and Kentucky whiskey aren’t all that different. They’re both made with at least 51% corn and aged two years in new American charred oak barrels. The major difference is that almost all Tennessee Whiskey goes through the “Lincoln County Process” where the whisky is filtered through sugar maple charcoal before aging in the barrel. This adds a smoky tone but also makes the whiskey lighter on the palate & much more mellow.

Everybody in the whiskey world knows Baker’s. They have one heck of a reputation. They only make one two things their 7 year and the 13-year, and their 7-year single barrel straight Bourbon just means it is aged for at least 7 years. I was just allocated six bottles, and ours is special – it happens to be aged 8 years and 1 month! Bottled at the signature 107 Proof, this is a flat-out delicious bottle of bourbon from the distillery that makes no two barrels alike. This one hits with notes of Toffee, caramel, peanuts and black pepper. The mouthfeel is full and distinct with dried fruits joining the party and a smooth, lengthy finish.
The 18-Year Sherry Oak is an iconic bottling from The Macallan that features an incredibly robust and energetic expression of Single Malt Scotch. It’s lead by European Oak and sherry seasoned in Spain. It hits all the right notes while delivering a warm but incredibly balanced punch. Notes of fig, orange peel, raisin, cocoa and cinnamon dominate the palate. At 86 Proof it’s powerful, but it’s not overpowering and so expertly crafted, it’ll keep you coming back for more.
As crazy as it may sound, I think the Dalmore 40 Year may be even more limited and tough to secure than the 45 year. That’s probably due to the fact that despite there being slightly more made than the 45 year, only 58 precious bottles make their way to America. That’s not a lot!! This one spent time in ex-Kentucky Bourbon American oak casks before being moved to 30-year-old Oloroso Sherry butts. Then it was finished in first-fill bourbon barrels, giving it so much dang flavor, energy and depth.
94 Points, Tasting Panel
Michter’s always provides some of the best value in American Whiskey and they never miss. This one is their best bang for the buck bottling that they make. This is so smooth and delicious, you would never know this is bottled at 84.8 Proof. This is a bit of a spicy number with those signature Rye peppery notes, butterscotch, creme brulee and a hint of toasted oak. One of my all-time favorite under $50 bottles.
