As the New Year gets its legs under it, in this post we’re taking pulse of some of the flops and pops on the secondary market. Entering the year, retrospectively, we have seen some softening of prices across the board. If you take Weller 12 for example, as we exited 2022 that bottle would have […]
Old Fitzgerald is a delicious wheated bourbon produced by Heaven Hill Distillery and released twice a year in the fall and the spring, with an occasional distillery-only release. The Old Fitzgerald lineup is entirely Bottled-in-Bond, referring to regulations set in the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897 which dictate specific requirements that ensure the quality of the […]
For the nearly 150,000 of you who’ve joined us in some way, shape or form in the past year, thanks for drinking with us! Cheers to you, and to the exciting news we have to share for the year ahead; more on that at the end of the post. Last year about this time, […]
There’s a handful of folks out in the world that think the bourbon boom is done.

For others, this time of year seems relatively happy simply […]
Secondary pricing used to be the high-water mark on what bottles would fetch out on the market, but the days of lower pricing in retail stores are nearly gone. Let’s not forget, retail establishments can set their own price, as the manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) is after all, just a suggestion. I overheard one […]
Having just found myself the owner of the newest release from Blood Oath, Pact Number 9 and at retail to boot, I thought I’d carve out this week’s post to discuss this relatively unique brand and why one (or all) of their nine releases may be worth adding to your collection. Intriguingly, this brand seems […]
Heaven Hill puts out some great products, also a few that aren’t so great (…like Mellow Corn), but there’s some real jewels in their overall lineup like Old Fitzgerald, Parkers Heritage and Elijah Craig to name but a few.
