I have not done a side-by-side whiskey comparison in months, and I have to admit, it has been a lot of fun getting back into it. Today, I am putting the Woodford Reserve Rye vs Bulleit Rye head-to-head to see how these two popular American rye whiskeys compare.
Today I’m diving into another side-by-side bourbon showdown: Woodford Reserve vs Bulleit bourbon. This one is particularly fun because it pits one of my favourite bourbons against one of John’s go-to bottles. Both are well-known Kentucky bourbons, easy to find, and have loyal followings for very different reasons.

One of my favourite, affordable sherry bombs and I have never written about it; the GlenDronach 12 year old single malt Scotch whisky. Today I rectify this oversight. It is one of those classic drams that can so easily be overlooked.

The tasting pack included the Benriach The Twelve Speyside single Malt Scotch whisky as well as the Benriach Smoky Twelve whisky.
