Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Bourbon Batch B525 Review
Once a highly sought after Bourbon, recent releases of Elijah Craig Barrel Proof have lingered on store shelves for weeks or even months. But, with its comparatively older age statement (11 years 6 months) and higher proof (126.2), does Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Bourbon Batch B525 deserve more attention? Let’s find out!

Green River US Army 250th Anniversary Bourbon Review
Green River Army 250th Anniversary Bourbon is a 111.1 proof Kentucky straight bourbon made from a unique mashbill of 77% corn, 14% rye, and 9% malted barley. This limited-edition release commemorates the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary and is a small batch blend of 4- to 7-year-old barrels. It’s available at Army bases, select retailers, and Green River locations, with a portion of proceeds supporting soldiers and their families. The bourbon offers a fruit-forward profile with evolving spice and a dry, warming finish. Read our full review to learn all about it!
Deadwood Straight Bourbon Whiskey Review
Deadwood Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a light, flavorful sipper from Proof and Wood. At just 81 proof and around $25, it overdelivers for the price.

MaltyVerse x Green River Distilling “A Wreck in Kentucky” is a 6-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon crafted from a 75% corn, 21% rye, 4% malted barley mash bill, and bottled at 96 proof. Paired with the MaltyVerse’s comic book theme, this limited single barrel release offers light-bodied yet classic bourbon flavors of caramel, honey, and stone fruits with a pleasantly long finish. While priced above Green River’s standard offerings, fans of the MaltyVerse theme — and bourbon enthusiasts in general — will likely find it an enjoyable pour.

Heaven Hill Grain to Glass Bourbon 2nd Edition Review (2025)
Heaven Hill Grain to Glass Bourbon 2nd Edition 2025 continues the distillery’s commitment to crafting bourbon from the ground up. Introduced in 2017, the Grain to Glass project partners with family-owned Peterson Farms and Beck’s Hybrids to create unique Kentucky-grown grains, while the 2025 release also supports Farm Rescue through the new Family Farms First initiative. This year’s edition features a 6-year-old, barrel-proof bourbon with a high-rye mash bill and a distinctive flavor profile. Curious how it all comes together in the glass? Read our full Heaven Hill Grain to Glass Bourbon 2nd Edition Review to learn more!
Oaklore Four Grain Bourbon Review
Oaklore Four Grain Bourbon is a small batch bourbon produced at sister distilleries in Kentucky and North Carolina. The bourbon blends 5–6-year-old wheated and rye bourbon barrels, which are re-barreled for secondary aging in North Carolina’s Piedmont region. The result is a balanced and approachable 92-proof bourbon with layered notes of fruit, spice, oak and tannins that deepen with time. Oaklore Four Grain Bourbon is a great option for those who enjoy complexity at a lower proof. Read our review to learn all about it!
Old Fitzgerald Bottled-In-Bond Spring 2025 9-Year-Old Bourbon Review
The Old Fitzgerald Bottled-In-Bond Spring 2025 9-Year-Old Bourbon is the 15th release in Heaven Hill’s elegant decanter series. Featuring a balanced profile with classic bourbon flavors including dark cherries, light caramel, tart citrus, dry oak, and some spice in the finish, this release has a slightly lighter body than many of the prior releases. Nevertheless, it is quite an enjoyable pour.
Ship’s Bell Blended Bourbon Review
Ship’s Bell Blended Bourbon Whiskey from Veritable Distillery in Connecticut blends a 3-year-old Kentucky bourbon with Veritable’s own American Single Malt, resulting in a fruit-forward whiskey with evolving flavors and a surprising amount of depth for its 86 proof. With notes of peaches, tart orange, caramel, and lingering spice, this thoughtfully crafted blend stands out for its full flavors at a very approachable proof. If you’re curious about how this young distillery is making a mark with their first bourbon release, be sure to check out our full review.
Larrikin Rosewater Bourbon Review (2025 Release)
Larrikin Rosewater Bourbon is a 86-proof blend of 5- and 6-year-old Kentucky straight bourbons, proofed down with house-brewed rosewater tea and priced at $70. While its rosewater component may sound unconventional, the result is a well-integrated bourbon with a soft, floral character and an overall balanced, pleasant flavor profile. It’s a unique and enjoyable pour, well suited to warmer weather.
Buzzard’s Roost Signature Double Oak Bourbon Review
Buzzard’s Roost Signature Double Oak Bourbon develops in an unexpected way, with flavors that start off quite subtle and gradually become richer and more pronounced. Made from a 75% corn, 21% rye, and 4% malted barley mash bill, and finished in custom toasted and lightly charred barrels, this 100-proof bourbon highlights the brand’s unique approach to secondary maturation. With a $45 price point and a flavor profile that evolves in the glass, it’s a solid addition to the Buzzard’s Roost lineup.
Kentucky Wildcask Bourbon Review
Kentucky Wildcask Bourbon is the inaugural release from the University of Kentucky’s James B. Beam Institute for Kentucky Spirits. Crafted as part of the Commercialization of Distilled Spirits Course, this limited-edition, non-chill filtered bourbon blends three Kentucky bourbons aged 4.5 to 8 years. Bottled at 100 proof, it offers evolving flavors of cherry, cinnamon, orange peel, and white pepper with a long, warming finish — a strong first effort from the next generation of bourbon makers.
Brush Creek Bourbon Review
Brush Creek Bourbon is a four-grain, non-chill filtered straight bourbon whiskey blended at Brush Creek Distillery in Wyoming. Crafted from a mix of Kentucky, Indiana, and Tennessee bourbons aged 4–13 years and proofed with pure snowmelt water from the Snowy Mountain Range, Brush Creek Bourbon brings sweet fruity notes as well as some spice and a drying finish.
Minden Mill Nevada Straight Bourbon Review
Minden Mill Nevada Straight Bourbon Whiskey is crafted from a four grain mash bill using 100% estate grown 60% Earthtone Heirloom corn, 20% Rye, 10% Barley, 10% Oats. Aged for four years, it has classic bourbon flavors, with just the right amount of dry oak, fruit and spice. It’s a very enjoyable pour, which I think will please most bourbon fans.
McLaughlin 3799 Bourbon Review
McLaughlin 3799 Bourbon is distilled, aged and hand-bottled at McLaughlin Distillery in Sewickley, Pennsylvania. It is crafted from a mash bill of 100% corn, and aged a minimum of 5 years in 10 gallon barrels. While the dry spicy oak from the barrel is definitely evident, it is not overpowering and is well balanced with the bourbon’s sweeter flavors. If you enjoy a well-made small batch craft bourbon with noticeable, but not overpowering dry spicy oak, then you’ll want to give this bourbon a try.
Old Elk Slow Cut Blended Straight Bourbon Whiskey Review
Old Elk’s Slow Cut Blended Straight Bourbon Whiskey represents the evolution of Old Elk’s original Straight Bourbon. This bourbon features a high malt mash bill, and is contract distilled at MGP. After maturation, Old Elk’s unique “Slow Cut” process gradually proofs the whiskey down over extended time to preserve flavor. It’s bottled at 88 proof and priced around $40, and is a very enjoyable pour. Both the proof and price point make this a great buy.
The Representative Barrel Proof Straight Bourbon Whiskey Review
From Proof & Wood Ventures, The Representative Barrel Proof Straight Bourbon Whiskey is an MGP-sourced bourbon that is blended in batches of approximately 20 barrels. It is non-chill filtered, and bottled at barrel proof. Aged a minimum of four years and priced at around $50, Ray found this bourbon to be a solid, higher proof option at a reasonable price point.
