In a liquor store in San Francisco, a wonderful person sold Dave this rather heavy bottle. While it's not easy to get in Australia, it is an amazing pour because of the unique way the bourbon is aged in a Solera. While Dave and H do a poor job of explaining what a solera system is, it's fair to say the outcome has a unique flavour and it's a specia…

It could be the rabbit on the bottle, or it could be the story of the name and the respect it pays to the history of Kentucky Bourbon, or it could be the Honey Malted Barley.

Elijah Craig's name echoes through the legends of bourbon, and some suggest he as the father of bourbon - in fact, they put that on the front of this bottle. For an easy-to-get bourbon (for Aussies), this is a great pour to enjoy. Uniquely, this bourbon spends between 8-12 years in the barrel which we think gives it some lovely complexity to those …

It all started when a dad wanted to celebrate the birth of his daughter. What could be more wholesome than that?! But the range of bourbons that are now represented, of which the four grain is the 'baby', certainly has shown how good these bourbons are, and the growth that the Penelope brand has experienced shows the appetite in the market for this…

The 1910 expression of Old Forester isn't easy to get down under, but you can find bottles. It's double oaked and has flavours of maple, honey, vanilla, and brown sugar. We think of Old Forester for its consistent butterscotch-ey flavours and we think of it as a dessert-like bourbon. It can be difficult to find in Australia, but worth trying if you…
