Transitioning from sourced whiskey to your own distilate can be an exciting yet stressful time for a company. Old Dominick is currently undergoing this transition and we take a look at their new Small Batch Bourbon Series.
Bourbon can go decades before it is opened, passing through various hands along the way. This is what happened when we recently stumbled upon a case of mini Elano-branded Maker’s Mark bottles.

Competition in the best bourbon of the year space remains as competitive as ever. 2023 was another amazing year filled with great bourbon, but these five stood out to us the most.

One word that best describes American whiskey in 2023 is diverse. Our five finalists this year couldn’t be more diverse, both in their origins and flavor profiles.
