Whiskey for the Ages is Three Years Old!

Whiskey for the Ages is Three Years Old!

As 2022 draws to a close, we wish to say, “Thank you” to our many loyal followers, readers and subscribers. On this, our three year anniversary, we have archived 310 individual reviews of 164 different whiskies. While we haven’t upload many articles this year, Hannah and I did add reviews written by my youngest daughter. Check out Elora’s assessments and learn what music she listens to while enjoying a glass.

While our noses, taste buds, and preferences conflict from time to time, we do get to enjoy this adventure together as we share each day’s events over a good pour. Some of this year’s favorites include:
▪︎ Boarder Cask Strength Bourbon,
▪︎ Booker’s 2022-01 Ronnie’s Batch,
▪︎ Little Book Chapter 3,
▪︎ Horse Soldier Reserve, and
▪︎ Maker’s 46 Cask Strength.

NATIONAL BOURBON HERITAGE MONTH

Like last year, we accepted the 30 Bourbons in 30 Days challenge this past September. This year, we incorporated a twist. Other than four mainstream whiskies which we assessed, we enjoyed 24 unique bourbons we didn’t add to our review library. Idaho (where we live) is a Control State. The Idaho State Liquor Division (ISLD) provides its residents with ISLD Picks instead of Store Picks.

When these unique bottles become available, we bring them home to our bunker. The offerings are available to patrons of Idaho’s state run liquor stores, and we decided to open and enjoy some of the collection without review. It had been quite some time since I took pleasure in a pour without first preparing a review.

Whiskey for the Ages is Three Years Old!

What did we learn? For the most part, the bulk of the ISLD bourbons were just “good”, with only a few being stellar. Maker’s Mark and Old Forester selections continue to impress, while offerings from Elijah Craig and Knob Creek fell a little short of expectations for us. Still, I am looking forward to next year’s challenge.

ENHANCED WEBSITE NAVIGATION

To improve website navigation and provide quick access to corresponding detail, we’ve added a couple new jump-link features. These links can be accessed from within each review and from any website page.

Near the bottom of each review, a link to other whiskies given the same score* (93/100) can be found.

Whiskey for the Ages is Three Years Old!

*NOTE – whiskeys in any given numeric tier do not have the same aroma, flavor or finish; they are NOT the same. They are merely on par with one another. Most of all, be mindful our ratings and scores are subjective as they are awarded by the reviewer.

When there are additional iterations of reviewed pours, readers can jump directly to whiskies from the same stable. For example, when a Booker’s, ECBP, or Maker’s product is reviewed, one can access other products in the review library.

Another navigation aid can be found in the expanded “Whiskey Sorted” sidebar widget located at the top, right or bottom of each page depending on the device being used. The widget provides quick access to Brian’s and Hannah’s ratings and whiskeys by Price or Proof. Here one can jump directly to Whiskey Sorted by Distillery as well.

SOCIAL MEDIA

This year, Hannah and I frequently posted on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and Twitter. While some of our thoughts included review access on our own site, there were many with links to whiskey related industry news, as well as updates on what we were doing.

This past June and July we participated in a Summer Advent event with our local whiskey enthusiast group. We put our skills to the test as we attempted to determine blind the type of whiskey submitted, its proof, the name of the sample and when available, its age and the distillery where the dram was made. My efforts were humbling, while Hannah did well, finishing fourth. Our escapades were updated on the various platforms.

And like last December, we’re closing out the year with drams from Whiskey Advent Calendars leading up to Christmas day. This year we’re doing two fun, no-pressure whiskey calendars, one featuring American and the other, an abbreviated World list. Be sure to follow us on Social Media to see where we are, what we’re drinking, and what we are doing next.
