Review: Elijah Craig Single Barrel Bourbon 15 Years Old
There is absolutely no shortage of Elijah Craig bourbon expressions, but age-stated editions have been hard to come by since the release of Elijah Craig 18 Years Old was released way back in 2015. Elijah Craig 15 Years Old seemingly came out of the blue this season, offering an older but slightly tamer experience than… The post Review: Elijah Craig Single Barrel Bourbon 15 Years Old appeared first on Drinkhacker: The Insider's Guide to Good Drinking .

Review: Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Special Release 2026 – Boiler Hill #2 Rye
Jack Daniel’s has been dropping ultra-proof whiskeys since the launch of the original Coy Hill Special Release, each one seemingly more popular than the last. For 2026, master distiller Chris Fletcher has a new trick up his sleeve for us: Five batches of barrel proof rye, including two from Coy Hill and three from two… The post Review: Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Special Release 2026 – Boiler Hill #2 Rye appeared first on Drinkhacker: The Insider's Guide to Good Drinking .

Review: Angel’s Envy Cask Strength Bourbon (2026)
If it seems like we just visited Angel’s Envy Cask Strength Bourbon, you’re not taking crazy pills. The 2025 batch dropped around November, and not even six months later, we’ve got a new release. Indeed, along with a new (age-stated) rye, this year’s bourbon is part of a double-header that coincides with the company moving… The post Review: Angel’s Envy Cask Strength Bourbon (2026) appeared first on Drinkhacker: The Insider's Guide to Good Drinking .

Review: Oban 15 Years Old Port Cask Finish
Hot on the heels of its 15 year old Cask Strength edition, Diageo has launched another Oban expression… and it’s another 15 year old. While the Cask Strength release was finished in sherry casks, this one’s done in Port (though at 52.1% abv, it’s not far from the proof of the cask strength expression). Turns… The post Review: Oban 15 Years Old Port Cask Finish appeared first on Drinkhacker: The Insider's Guide to Good Drinking .

The etiquette and politics of whisky write-ups and reviews
Reader discretion advised: Rant incoming, partially triggered by a whisky producer who didn’t take kindly to some feedback I gave them about their whisky. It seems the etiquette and politics of whisky write-ups and reviews might be evolving. But first I’ll set the scene…. I’ve been writing about whisky for over 20 years now; I … Continue reading "The etiquette and politics of whisky write-ups and reviews" The post The etiquette and politics of whisky write-ups and reviews appeared first on Whisky and Wisdom .

Review: Kilkerran 16 Years Old
Kilkerran, like many other Campbeltown whiskies, owes its existence to the late Hedley Wright. The fifth-generation scion of the whisky-making Mitchell family resurrected the single malt’s parent distillery, Glengyle, in 2004 after nearly 80 years of absence. Of the many dead Campbeltown distilleries to bring back to life, why Glengyle? It probably helped that the… The post Review: Kilkerran 16 Years Old appeared first on Drinkhacker: The Insider's Guide to Good Drinking .

Review: Michter’s Single Barrel Straight Bourbon 10 Years Old 2026
The return of Michter’s ultra luxe Celebration Sour Mash, only the fifth release to date, somewhat overshadowed the announcement that the fan favorite 10-year-old single barrel was also on its way, destined for the top shelves at your local watering hole and the fancy display cabinets of those liquor stores lucky enough to get… The post Review: Michter’s Single Barrel Straight Bourbon 10 Years Old 2026 appeared first on Drinkhacker: The Insider's Guide to Good Drinking .

Sweeten the Pot
There is one ancient beer style that survives today but few breweries will attempt. It is a little mysterious, often misunderstood, and can be difficult to brew.

Review: Booker’s Bourbon “Big Easy Batch” 2026-01
The first batch of Booker’s Bourbon for 2026 arrived a few days ago. We’re jumping on top of it with coverage of this “Big Easy Batch,” named for Booker Noe’s love of New Orleans. Who can blame him? This expression is a blend of five sub-lots from the Beam warehouses, the youngest being 7 years,… The post Review: Booker’s Bourbon “Big Easy Batch” 2026-01 appeared first on Drinkhacker: The Insider's Guide to Good Drinking .

Intriguingly, it’s the first 14-year-old expression of Jack Daniel’s produced since Jack Daniel himself… The post Review: Jack Daniel’s 14 Years Old (All Batches, Updated 2026) appeared first on Drinkhacker: The Insider's Guide to Good Drinking .

Review: Rumple Minze Cinnamint Whiskey
There are probably five bottles that pop into your head the second someone asks which liquor brands get a bad rap. Are those bad raps always warranted? Or is it possible your hatred of a certain liqueur, one that starts with Jager and ends with meister, is less about the product and more about that… The post Review: Rumple Minze Cinnamint Whiskey appeared first on Drinkhacker: The Insider's Guide to Good Drinking .

Review: Angel’s Envy Cask Strength Rye 10 Years Old (2026)
When it comes to rye, Angel’s Envy is best known for its always-on, rum-finished expression. But over the past few years, the brand — under the guidance of Master Distiller Owen Martin — has gradually expanded its rye lineup. That includes an inaugural Cask Strength Rye in 2023, which featured both Sauternes and toasted oak… The post Review: Angel’s Envy Cask Strength Rye 10 Years Old (2026) appeared first on Drinkhacker: The Insider's Guide to Good Drinking .
