Wyoming Whiskey Ten Year Anniversary Edition

I’d like to thank Verde Brand Communications for providing this review sample with no strings attached.

Ok, so on Tuesday, I was whining about the quantity of snow that we’d received in recent weeks. I will not make that mistake again because I was repaid for that by receiving another foot or so after I hit publish. I’m not sure which karmic deity or spirit thought that was funny, but I found it less so as I was running the snowblowers and shovels. Because of that, let’s jump right into the bourbon, shall we? I don’t want to chance getting cosmically punished for something else I say.

Way back in 2015, I set up a visit with Distiller Samuel Mead to tour Wyoming Whiskey. (You can see photos and read about that visit here. ) I was on a trip to Yellowstone with my wife, my Mom, and my Stepdad and I thought that it would be fun to bring them along on the tour. Especially for my Stepdad who is also a whiskey fan. Mead was a gracious host and I have had a soft spot for Wyoming Whiskey ever since.

It was with that thought in mind that I happily accepted a sample of their new 10th Anniversary Edition bourbon. So, what makes the 10th Anniversary Edition special? For starters, it is 10 years old. This is pretty obviously about as old as you can get out of a 10-year-old distillery that doesn’t source its products. So beyond being crafted from 20 of their oldest barrels, it was also a collaboration between founding Master Distiller—and Bourbon Hall of Fame member—Steve Nally and current Master Blender Nancy Fraley. Here’s what the distillery has to say about this special release:

“We are proud to honor our roots in this state with an exceptional 10-year-old whiskey created by the fusion of Wyoming water, Wyoming grains and Wyoming weather. We will always distill our whiskey the right way, not the easy way,” said Brad Mead, Co-Founder of Wyoming Whiskey.

Let’s see how it tastes.

Wyoming Whiskey Ten Year Anniversary Edition

Purchase Info: This sample was graciously provided by the producer and their team for review purposes. The suggested retail rpice is $199.99

Price per Drink (50 mL): $13.33

Notes: 10 years old. 51.7% ABV. 68% Corn, 20% Rye, 12% Malted Barley 

Nose: Caramel, vanilla, cherry, and oak.

Mouth: Sweet. Notes of cinnamon, caramel, allspice, almond, and oak.

Finish: Long and warm. Lots of cinnamon and allspice and a hint of mint

Thoughts: This is a very tasty bourbon. It is out of my price range, but I'd happily accept a glass or two if you were pouring it. It has nice baking spice notes and a sweetness that is present but not cloying. Wonderfully drinkable neat, but takes an ice cube well. I really like it. It is worthy of a milestone release.

Congratulations to Wyoming Whiskey on 10 years!

A BourbonGuy look at Bourbon Cream Liqueurs

Earlier this month, reader Mitch reached out to request a rundown of various Bourbon Cream liqueurs. I thought that with it being the holiday season, that was a great idea. So I set out to see what I could find. I was hoping to find products that are readily available across a wide swath of the country. So that meant no boutique brands unless they are hosted my a major retailer. And after stopping at a dozen liquor stores across two states, I realized that also leaves out the OG from Buffalo Trace. If you have Buffalo Trace Bourbon Cream available near you and you want to report back how it stacks up with these, please do so! I’d love the feedback and I’m sure Mitch would too.

Ok, so let’s dig right in:

Nooku Bourbon Cream

Purchase Info: $2.99 for a 100 mL bottle at Ace Spirits, Hopkins, MN

Price per Drink (50 mL): $1.50

Details: 17% ABV. Lightest color of the four

Nose: Almond extract notes.

Mouth: Nutty and a little sharp.

Finish: Not much of a finish.

Thoughts: By far, the Nooku is our least favorite. It seems to have a boozy flavor that isn't well integrated and causes a sharpness to the flavor as the ethanol makes its presence known.

---

Ezra Brooks Bourbon Cream

Purchase Info: $8.99 for a 750 mL bottle at Viking Liquor Barrel, Prior Lake, MN

Price per Drink (50 mL): $0.60

Details: 12.5% ABV. Darkest color of the four.

Nose: Not much of a nose. Slightly boozy and a little cheesy.

Mouth: Very creamy in the mouth. Slight hint of cherry and mint.

Finish: None to speak of.

Thoughts: A big step up from the Nooku, but still in third place (for me, my wife ranked this in second), is Ezra Brooks. It's got a hint of an aged Parmesan cheese note to it that I don't really find enjoyable in this context. I wouldn't mind it so much if it weren't being tasted next to examples that more closely match our palates.

---

Paddleford Creek Bourbon Cream

Purchase Info: $18.99 for a 750 mL bottle at Total Wine, Bloomington, MN

Price per Drink (50 mL): $1.27

Details: 15% ABV. Spirits Direct (Total Wine)

Nose: A touch of cherry on the nose.

Mouth: Very thick and rich. Cinnamon and vanilla join the cream flavors.

Finish: Coats the throat. Cinnamon and vanilla flavors hang around.

Thoughts: In second place (for me) is Paddleford Creek. This has, by far, the creamiest mouthfeel. It's just luscious in the mouth. The slight cinnamon and vanilla notes could be a little more prominent, though. But if tasted without comparison, this would be a very enjoyable pour.

---

Jim Beam Bourbon Cream

Purchase Info: $17.99 for a 750 mL bottle at South Lyndale Liquor, Minneapolis, MN

Price per Drink (50 mL): $1.20

Details: 15% ABV.

Nose: Nutmeg and cream.

Mouth: Not much to this on the mouth.

Finish: Much of the flavor comes after you swallow and there is a lot of flavor. Stong Nutmeg and vanilla notes.

Thoughts: Our very favorite one is the Jim Beam. That strong nutmeg note just feels like a glass of holiday cheer to me.

Overall Thoughts: I’d happily accept a glass of any of the non-Nooku Bourbon Creams. I love how flavorful the Jim Beam Bourbon Cream is. That strong hit of nutmeg is delicious. I can’t say enough about the mouthfeel of the Paddelford Creek Bourbon Cream. I could wish that the flavors were a bit more prominent, but that mostly came about after I tried the Jim Beam. Before that, I was very happy with the amount of flavor. The Ezra Brooks is also a very solid offering. Nothing bad in that pour at all. But on the flip side, there is also nothing that stands out. It’s just tasty. Nooku, I’d just avoid it personally. It was both of our least favorite and it was also the most expensive of the offerings. Even if you bought a bigger bottle. I saw one store I was at selling it for over $30 per 750 mL bottle.

Old Ezra 7-Year Straight Rye Whiskey

These days more than anything else, I am having fun playing with lasers. Well, kinda. I bought a laser engraver and have been using it to make all sorts of fun stuff. I love working with wood, but I’ve been a professional digital artist for 20 years or so. This combines the fun that I can have with digital art, with the fun that I can have with physical items and blends it in a way that is rewarding and, well, fun. So far I’ve just been burning designs into wood and cutting things out, but that will change as I get used to the medium. I can’t wait.

One slick segue later and you’ll find that I’m not the only one who’s been doing some blending. (nailed it) The folks over at Lux Row are back at it. This time extending the Ezra Brooks brand lineup with a rye whiskey that is a blend of rye whiskeys. Old Ezra 7-Year Straight Rye Whiskey blends two ryes whiskeys. One with a mash bill that contains 51% rye and another that has a mash bill of 95% rye. That last one is one of my favorite styles of rye so I was pretty excited to see this one land on my desk. Especially since it is 7 years old and 114° proof. That made my day. Here is what the producer has to say about their new release.

"With Old Ezra 7-Year Straight Rye Whiskey, we've delivered a rye whiskey worthy of the Old Ezra label," said Lux Row Distillers master distiller John Rempe. "This tasty 7-year-old rye offers slightly sweet and oaky tones with hints of vanilla and honey, and it finishes with a warm touch of spice and tobacco. It's certain to become a favorite among both rye fans and fans of the Ezra Brooks brand family."

Now that we know what the producer has to say, let’s dig in and see how it tastes.

Old Ezra 7-Year Straight Rye Whiskey

Purchase Info: This sample was provided for review purposes. The suggested retail price is $79.99 for a 750 mL bottle.

Price per Drink (50 ml): $5.33

Details: 7 years old. 57% ABV. Blend of 51% rye mash whiskey and 95% rye mash whiskey.

Nose: Dusty aging warehouse, toffee, and an herbal mint.

Mouth: Rich mouthfeel. Toffee, mint, cinnamon, and oak.

Finish: Long and minty. Notes of herbal mint, toffee and cinnamon.

Thoughts: Even my wife who doesn't care for most rye whiskeys likes this. It is rich and sweet in the mouth with the minty rye notes taking over as the finish starts. This is tasty. I really am enjoying it.

J.T. Meleck American Rice Whiskey

This review sample was kindly provided by the producer with no strings attached.

It snowed all day yesterday. We ended up with seven to eight inches by the time it was all done. And while I was outside, shoveling out the vehicle and making a spot for the dogs to go potty, I was reminded of my favorite “snow story.”

It was almost ten years ago, and my wife and I were visiting friends in New Orleans for Mardi Gras. Their daughter was going to be honored during a parade, and we wanted to be there to help her celebrate. During the parade, I got into a conversation with another little girl, probably 4 or 5 years old, who was bundled up like it was twenty below zero. It was warm enough that I was in a light hoodie. Now, I love talking to little kids, they have such a fun insight into the world around them, so I had fun chatting. Well, we got to talking about how cold it was. And she told me that they “even had snow once.” I mentioned that I don’t really like snow. And that, in fact, it was snowing at my house in Minnesota at that very moment. The look on her face was incredible. She just did not believe me that there could be snow at my house when there was none where we were. Super cute. I haven’t thought of her in years. I hope she’s doing well these days.

Anyway, I was probably reminded of Louisiana because of the fact that I was supposed to be writing about it as I was shoveling snow. A few weeks ago, I received a sample of a rice whiskey from Louisiana. J.T. Meleck American Rice whiskey is a four-year-old whiskey made from a 100% rice mashbill.

What interested me about the product is simply that I love rice. Like, I’d gladly eat it with every meal if those around me would go along with the idea. My favorite is the Carolina Gold rice that I occasionally order from Anson Mills. It is super flavorful in a way that most of the rice I find locally is not. That said, it is a bit expensive, so I only have it every so often. I mean, I still love even cheap, store-brand rice too.

So, I love rice. Did that mean I was going to like rice whiskey? Well, a few years back, when Jim Beam was doing their Harvest Collection Bourbons, which contained alternate flavoring grains, I remembered liking the brown rice one. Though that was a bourbon and not a 100% rice whiskey, I felt confident enough to request a sample. Even if a sample of whiskey is free, I don’t like requesting things that I know for a fact I won’t like. I don’t like to poop on other people’s hard work, so if I know it isn’t for me, I steer clear.

Anyway, let’s move on to what the producer has to say about their product before I tell you if I actually did like it or not.

Whiskeys are commonly made from grains like barley, corn, rye and wheat. Few distillers use rice as part of their mash bill in the U.S., and no American brand has ever crafted a whiskey made 100% from rice, at a commercial level. J.T. Meleck Distillers is the first to craft and market a whiskey made 100% from their rice on a large scale. Every step of the process takes place in Louisiana, from farm to glass. Like other American whiskeys, J.T. Meleck whiskey is aged for nearly 5 years in American oak, 53-gallon barrels.

Now the fun part: how does it taste?

J.T. Meleck American Rice Whiskey

Purchase Info: This bottle was provided by the producer for review purposes. The suggested retail price is $47 for a 750 mL bottle.

Price per Drink (50 mL): $3.13

Details: 100% Rice. 48% ABV. 4-years old.

Nose: Clean is the first word that comes to mind on this one. I'm getting sweet cherry, mint, and lots of vanilla.

Mouth: This is reasonably delicate but with a pleasant tingle on the ol' tongue. Notes of vanilla and cherry, along with hints of baking spice and mint.

Finish: On the longer side of medium length. Notes of mint and cooked Carolina Gold rice.

Thoughts: As a whiskey geek, I find this fascinating. As a lover of whiskey produced in the American style, I like this a lot. If I were in Louisiana, touring a rice plantation, you know damn well that this would be coming home with me as a killer souvenir. That said, this might be hit or miss for some people. I can see Bourbon-only drinkers not caring for it as a bit delicate. But if you are open to exploration and you find yourself in Louisiana, this is one to check out.

Woodinville Straight Bourbon Whiskey

I am a huge Neil Gaiman fan. He’s my absolute favorite author. And for me, it all started when I read the Sandman. The Sandman is a comic series from the late 1980s that is gruesome, grotesque, heartfelt, moving, beautiful, and just an amazing journey. I love it. Has been my favorite piece of literature since I first read it.

And now it has been made into an amazing Netflix series. If you are a fan of the comic, you should love this. I’m almost through binging the series, and so far, I’m blown away. This is as good of an adaptation as American Gods was bad (American Gods being another series based on a Gaiman work). It’s beautifully shot and well acted. The story is not in the same order as the comics, but I think that was a good choice when adapting to video. They’re different mediums, and the needed story beats aren’t quite the same. Hopefully, I will finish the series tonight. If not, tomorrow for sure.

So let’s get to tonight’s bourbon. I’ve been wandering liquor stores trying to find things to write about that won’t break the bank. As I did, my eyes fell on this bottle of bourbon from Woodinville Whiskey Co, out of Woodinville, Washington. Now I’ve been aware of Woodinville for many years. I featured their bottle design way back when I interviewed the designer of their packaging, David Cole back in 2013. But somehow, I’ve never tasted their whiskey. That has been remedied. But before we get to what I think of the bourbon, let’s see what the producer has to say.

This truly small-batch bourbon starts with traditionally grown corn, rye and malted barley. All of our staple grains are cultivated exclusively for us on the Omlin Family farm in Quincy, Washington. The grains are mashed, distilled, and barreled in our Woodinville® distillery, then trucked back over the Cascade Mountains to our private barrel houses, where Central Washington’s extreme temperature cycles promote the extraction of natural flavors from the oak. Prior to being coopered, the barrel wood is seasoned in open air, rain, wind, sun, and snow for eighteen months, softening the wood’s harsh tannins. The barrels are then slowly toasted and heavily charred to further enrich the wood’s desirable flavors. This meticulous process yields a truly hand-crafted spirit with aromas of crème brûlée and spice cabinet, as well as notes of rich caramel, dark chocolate, and vanilla bean on the palate with a sweet, lingering finish.

Woodinville Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Purchase Info: $41.99 for a 750 mL bottle at total Wine, Burnsville, MN

Price per Drink (50 mL): $2.80

Details: 45% ABV

Nose: Hay, mint, and almond.

Mouth: Honey, almond, cinnamon, and if you hold it in your mouth long enough, a capsaicin-like heat.

Finish: Medium length and warmth. Notes of cinnamon, honey, and almond.

Thoughts: This is pretty darn tasty. If you like hot honey, this should be one to pick up. I look forward to trying a few more from their product line. They have a Rye and a Port-finished Bourbon at my closest Total Wine, which I am already planning to pick up. And according to their website, they have Cask Strength versions at the distillery. Well, that seems like a good thing to add to the itinerary for the next time I visit Seattle. I’ve wanted to do that anyway.

Michter’s US-1 Kentucky Straight Bourbon

Almost exactly one year ago, I realized that somehow, even though it was once one of my go-to pours, I had never reviewed Michter’s Rye. Well, a couple of weeks ago, I had a similar revelation about Michter’s Bourbon. Somehow, I just never got around to reviewing it. So as I was wandering through the liquor store looking for an “everyday” bourbon to have on hand, I realized that I could also get a little content out of the purchase if I grabbed a bottle of Michter’s. So I did.

That’s right, I bought this instead of the much less expensive Wild Turkey 101 for you. I hope you are happy with yourself.

I kid. I kid. I grabbed it because I hadn’t purchased it in quite a few years, and I wanted something different that wouldn’t break the bank. Here is a little of what the distillery has to say about it:

Truly “small batch” each batch of our US-1 Kentucky Straight Bourbon is batched in a holding tank sized to fit a maximum of twenty full barrels, leaving no margin for “blending out” imperfection and thus necessitating excellence from every barrel. Reflecting the spirit of the Bluegrass State, Michter’s US-1Kentucky Straight Bourbon is nuanced, mellow and earthy.

Let’s see how it tastes, shall we?

Michter’s US-1 Kentucky Straight Bourbon

Purchase Info: $46.97 for a 750 mL bottle at Viking Liquor Barrel, Prior Lake, MN

Price per Drink (50 mL): $3.13

Details: 45.7% ABV. Batch #: 21F1851

Nose: Brown sugar, caramel, vanilla, and a slight nuttiness.

Mouth: Brown sugar, nutty/toasty notes, cinnamon, and a hint of mint.

Finish: Medium in length and warmth. Sweet. Notes of brown sugar, cinnamon, caramel, and mint.

Thoughts: This is a tasty "everyday" bourbon. Maybe even at the higher end of the everyday quality range. Costs a little more than I'd prefer for an everyday bourbon, but it is tasty enough to drink neat and works well in a cocktail. So I'll give it a little bit of a pass on that. I'd probably pounce on it at $35-40, but the $45-50 I paid is pushing it a bit. That said, I did enjoy the whiskey and finished it off relatively quickly, so there is that.

Sample Roulette: Feeling Frugal

In September, I am going to be foregoing my annual September trip to Kentucky for the first time since 2013. It’s been almost ten years since I last skipped the Kentucky Bourbon Festival, but, in my opinion, last year was such a flop that I just don’t feel like spending a lot of money to do something that I didn’t particularly enjoy. Plus, in September, it will be our 25th wedding anniversary. It seemed like too big of a milestone to spend doing the “same ol’ thing.”

And so we will be going somewhere we haven’t been before. Yosemite, Sequoia, and the wine country of Northern California. I’m sure we will have tons of fun, but I also know the trip will cost a lot more than our usual Kentucky trip. And yes, I’m including the bourbon shopping I tend to do in that total. So yeah, I’m feeling pretty frugal at the moment. As such, I’m going to jump into another edition of Sample Roulette.

These samples were all laid down between 2011 and 2017. The labels were covered up in September of 2020. And they have lived in a box untouched since, except for the occasional adventuresome sip now and then. In June, I guessed terribly. Didn’t get a single one even close. I was even in the wrong continent at one point. Let’s see if I do any better this time.

Blind Whiskey Sample # 1:

Nose: Spearmint, cedar, pencil shavings, and butterscotch.

Mouth: Tingly and a tad delicate. Spearmint, almond, and baking spice.

Finish: Gentle and a little bitter. Notes of bubble gum, mint, and a hint of baking spice.

Pre-Reveal Thoughts: This is tasty. Very soft. It feels Canadian. That bubblegum on the finish makes me lean to Wiser's.

Reveal: Cedar Ridge Iowa Bourbon.

Post-Reveal Thoughts: Well. Shit. So far, my streak of not even being remotely close is still intact from the last time we did this. I do not remember this being as soft as it is. But then, I am getting old, and I didn't have the best memory to begin with (just ask my wife).

Blind Whiskey Sample # 2:

Nose: Oak is the most prominent note. Followed by caramel, vanilla, and baking spice.

Mouth: Spicy, dry oat notes followed by vanilla, red fruit, and baking spice.

Finish: Warm and longish. More oak, fruit, and baking spice with just a hint of a mineral note.

Pre-Reveal Thoughts: My first thought with the heat and dry oak notes was that this could be what's left of one of my early bottles of Elijah Craig 12-year-old. But I don’t remember EC12 having a fruit note. The mineral note on the finish brought me a hint of Dickel. But honestly, I'm kinda stumped on this one. I'm positive this is a bourbon from one of the big guys in Kentucky. I'm going to say Wild Turkey.

Reveal: Old Grand-Dad 114.

Post-Reveal Thoughts: Hey! I got the style and state correct! I see this as an absolute win. Sadly, what this means is that Old Grand-Dad 114 has gone way downhill since I put this away back in 2012-2014. Today's Old Grand-Dad 114 is much more dusty-grain forward. This is very rich and oaky.

Blind Whiskey Sample # 3:

Nose: Oh wow! That's a lot of smoke and fruit.

Mouth: Sweet and spicy. Pears, baking spice, and a touch of smoke.

Finish: Medium in both warmth and length. Notes of smoke and pears.

Pre-Reveal Thoughts: Sooo... Big caveat on this one. I actively dislike smoky whiskey. This is a big reason why I could never get into Scotch. So for that reason, I can narrow this down to a few craft distilleries. I haven’t purchased smoky whisky from many places due to my aversion to it. One of those distilleries happens to be my friends at MB Roland. And I haven't bought one of those since they were putting out experimental smoked whiskies. So that is what I am guessing.

Reveal: MB Roland Experimental Aged Black Dog (used barrels)

Post-Reveal Thoughts: Ha! Take that! I had to get one eventually. This is actually the very first thing I reviewed on the site. And boy, I do not like it. I mean, it might be good for fans of smoky whiskey. But as I said, I am absolutely not one of them. I do feel pretty good about guessing it, though. Might just finish the pour in... celebration?

Hmm... if you shoot this, you get a sweet barbeque note. Come to think of it. I think I remember that about it. But we've already discussed my memory so take that how you will.

Old Pepper Single Barrel Rye

James E. Pepper was a pre-Prohibition whiskey man with quite the whiskey pedigree, at least if you define pedigree as the people he was associated with. His father, Oscar Pepper started a distillery near Versailles, Kentucky that is today’s Woodford Reserve Distillery, hired James Crow as his distiller and by all accounts made some pretty good whiskey. Very probably because James Crow (of Old Crow Bourbon fame) was the developer, or at least the popularizer, of the sour mash fermentation method that is used in making most American Whiskey to this day. After Oscar died, James inherited his distillery but was deemed too young to run it so it was managed by his court-appointed guardian Col. E.H. Taylor (of Old Taylor fame). Taylor did the young Pepper the favor securing money to expand the distillery, but then also ended up losing it in bankruptcy proceedings. The distillery was then sold to Misters Labrot and Graham, whose name still graced bottles of Woodford Reserve up until pretty recently.

Now this is speculation on my part based solely on hindsight of the eventual outcome, but I’d say that the court may have misjudged who should be running the distillery as going bankrupt and losing the business might just be the worst outcome that could have happened to a business. Of course those were turbulent financial times in the US so James Pepper might have faired even worse. Hard to tell from almost 150 years away.

But, regardless, it seems that James may have learned a thing or two about making whiskey through all of this as he, along with a business partner, decided to try again. This time in nearby Lexington, Kentucky. That distillery lasted beyond James’ death in 1906 until Prohibition shut it down. The James E. Pepper brand and distillery passed to Schenley and then to United Distillers during various mergers and acquisitions. According to bourbon historian Michael Veach, the James E. Pepper distillery was shut down in the late 1960s and the brand “disappeared from the market by the end of the 1970s” only to briefly reemerge in the early 1990s as an export-only brand before being abandoned for good.

Which takes us out of the past and brings us to tonight’s whiskey. In 2008, the abandoned trademark for the James E. Pepper brand was acquired by Amir Peay. He and his team started by bottling MGP juice under the 1776 brand name while they got a new James E. Pepper distillery going on the site of the historical James E. Pepper distillery. Here is what the company has to say:

The Story

In 2017 we completed the multi-year project to rebuild the historic Pepper Distillery, which had been abandoned in 1967 for over 50 years. This label is a celebration of that project and where we showcase our single barrel picks, small-batch bottlings, or limited specialty finishes.

Technical

Age statements and bottling proofs are on the labels. Bottled by hand at the Historic James E. Pepper Distillery, using water from the historic limestone well to cut whiskeys to proof. Distilled at various distilleries, including ours (DSP-KY-5), the Lawrenceburg Distillery in Indiana (DSP-IN-15023), and the Bardstown Bourbon Co. in Kentucky (DSP-KY-20037); relevant details can be found on the labels.

My bottle was distilled in Indiana and is 4 years old. Let’s see how it tastes.

Old Pepper Single Barrel Rye

Purchase Info: So, I lost the receipt for this. No idea what I spent on it. But Total Wine sells it for about $40 in Michigan and $53 in Kentucky. So it was probably in that range somewhere.

Price per Drink (50 mL): (based on the figures above) $2.67 - $3.53

Details: 4 years old. Cask 1126. 55% ABV. Distilled at DSP IN - 15023. Bottled at DSP KY-5.

Nose: Cinnamon candies, spearmint, and brown sugar.

Mouth: Very hot. Lots of cinnamon candy right off the bat. following that are notes of cedar, mint, and nutmeg.

Finish: Warm and of medium length. Lingering notes of spearmint, cedar, and cinnamon.

Thoughts: This is a very tasty rye. Very cinnamon forward until it gets to the finish when the mint takes over. It is very hot, but takes water well. A little water brings out a sweet malt note. All in all, I like this one. Tastes good neat and works really nicely in a Sazerac cocktail as well.
