Busting The Biggest Myth Of Tennessee Whiskey

Apr 24, 2024 | whiskeyreviewer.com | Richard Thomas |Tennessee Whiskey

By Richard ThomasOne of the ugly little secrets of sensory science is just how much the senses of taste and smell can be influenced by preconceptions. Ideally, this reality can be guarded against, and it’s what makes the notion of the blind taste test so interesting.

Bourbonola Bourbon & Cherry Cola Review

Apr 16, 2024 | whiskeyreviewer.com | Richard Thomas

By Richard ThomasRating: A-Bourbonola is a nod to the long history of the Lexington Brewing Company.
