I’m baaaack.
Yup, its been a while since we posted anything here. We did have our September and November tastings and I am just now getting around to posting about them. Sorry for the delay.
Rye Whiskey Showdown
Rye whiskies take those spicy bourbons a little bit further. By limiting the amount of corn and increasing the amount of rye in the mashbill you replace the overall sweetness with a spiciness that excites the taste buds.
The $20 Challenge
Recently I held a blind tasting that included four whiskies with a bottle price of under $20.
Annual Christmas Party

Blind Tasting
A recent tasting by the River City Whisky Society was a Blind Tasting.
High-Dollar Night
High-Dollar night is always a great night. This is a once-a-year tasting for members only when we spend a few extra bucks to get high-end whiskies. This year we spent $2000.00 for six bottles tasted by 30 members.
