It seems the folks over at Beam just won’t stop releasing cool stuff! A problem for the wallets of bourbon nerds the world over? Probably. A good problem? Also, probably!Today, I will talk about the two newest limited editions joining the Beam Small Batch family of brands. From the mind of Freddie Noe comes Little’s Book “The Infinite” and Booker’s “The Reserves,” respectively. There’s a fair bit to break down on these releases, so let’s get started.

Bardstown Bourbon Company (BBCo) and its sister distillery, Green River, have been busy pumping out a slew of new releases these last few months! BBCo just released its Origin series High Wheat Bourbon at 106 proof (if you haven’t bought a bottle yet, run to get one – it’s that good. It’s a contender for my top whiskey of 2024). In addition, Green River released their Full Proof, plus a handful of single-barrel expressions.

If someone says to you “I’m drinking Scotch made on an island,” your first guess for its provenance would probably be an Islay distillery. Yes, Islay is best known for its briny, iodine heavy, burnt rubber-smelling, peated Scotches. But it’s also not the only Island that is home to Scotch whisky distilleries. There are many amazing Scotch brands made on islands, including Lochranza distillery where Arran is made, the eponymous Isle of Jura, and Highland Park from Orkney.

Scotland has a long and storied history of impressive Scotch whiskies brought to light by independent blenders and bottlers, dating back to around 1825. Although attributed to Gordon and MacPhail as the originator, others such as Douglas Laing, Ian MacLeod, Cadenhead, and Compass Box (to name just a few) have become synonymous with small-batch, special-release luxe Scotch whisky.

Classic Malts Add a New Twist Diageo’s Classic Malts are now available with cask expressions By Sam Green

Another Ghost From Orphan Barrel Emerges One more hidden gem from the long lost Port Dundas distillery By Sam Green
If you’ve been anywhere near the collectible whisky world in the last nine years, then you no doubt have heard of Orphan Barrel. It “initially began in 2014 as a passion project; a search for rare whiskies hidden away and nearly forgotten in the dark corners of distilleries and warehouses across the world,” reads the press release sent to me by their PR agency.
