Join us as we relive our incredible experience at the 2025 BBQ & Barrels festival in Owensboro, Kentucky! This annual celebration of barbecue and bourbon is a “must do” Kentucky experience. The 2025 festival, held May 9-10, transformed downtown Owensboro, centering around West 2nd Street—temporarily renamed “BBQ Boulevard.”

We indulged in a spirited Bourbon Pairing Dinner at Green River Distilling and soaked up the vibrant atmosphere of the Owensboro waterfront. Of course, we dove headfirst into the festival itself, savoring free samples from the cooking teams and grooving to the live music. One of the highlights was a bourbon education class led by Brent Elliott, Four Roses Master Distiller, followed by an epic three-hour bourbon tasting event featuring 40 distilleries! And don’t forget the Western Kentucky barbecue. 

This video highlights:

  • A Spirited Bourbon Pairing Dinner at Green River Distilling

The BEST Chocolate Old Fashioned? (Thirsty Thursday)

/ bourbonjourney / Leave a comment

Tonight, we’re giving a beloved classic a sensational spin as we craft the Spiced Chocolate Old Fashioned. This isn’t just any old fashioned; it’s a decadent twist that infuses rich cocoa notes, intriguing spices, and a touch of chili heat into the familiar whiskey and bitters combination. If you’re someone who appreciates a cocktail with both sweetness and sophisticated complexity, this is the drink for you!

Join us as we guide you through the effortless, step-by-step process of creating this delightful libation. We’re elevating this Old Fashioned with a carefully curated lineup: premium Bourbon, luxurious Crème de Cacao, aromatic Aztec Chocolate Bitters, and complex Mole Bitters.

The magic truly happens with our bitters selection. The Aztec Chocolate and Mole Bitters don’t just bring chocolate notes; they introduce a symphony of spices, a subtle chili warmth, and a deeper, savory character that will elevate this Old Fashioned to new heights. And by using Crème de Cacao as our sweetener, we’re not only adding a luscious chocolate depth but also a silky, velvety texture that simple syrup simply can’t replicate, resulting in a richer, more intensely flavored experience.

Four Roses OBSF & OESK: Which Recipe Wins?

/ bourbonjourney / Leave a comment

Are you ready for a bourbon showdown? Today, we’re diving deep into the highly anticipated Four Roses Single Barrel Collection, pitting two exciting new recipes – OBSF and OESK – against each other in a head-to-head tasting!

In late 2024, Four Roses made waves with the announcement of their 2025 Single Barrel Collection, a special release celebrating the 20th anniversary of their iconic Single Barrel offering. For 2025, bourbon lovers are in for a treat with the introduction of three new 100-proof Single Barrel bourbons – OBSF, OESK, and OESO – joining the beloved flagship Single Barrel, OBSV.

But what makes OBSF and OESK so intriguing? Let’s break it down:

  • OBSF: This intriguing recipe features Mash Bill B (35% rye, 60% corn) combined with yeast strain F. Prepare your palate for a symphony of flavors, including distinctive herbal notes, bright rye spice, crisp apple, smooth vanilla, warm clove, and a hint of rich cocoa.
  • OESK: On the other side of the ring, we have OESK, crafted with Mash Bill E (20% rye, 75% corn) and yeast strain K. This expression promises a delightful profile of classic baking spices, mellow oak undertones, delicate tea leaves, and luscious caramel.

Which of these new expressions will reign supreme? Will the vibrant complexity of OBSF win us over, or will the comforting embrace of OESK steal the show?

Jack Daniels 14 Year: Worth the Wait? Our Honest Review! 

/ bourbonjourney / Leave a comment

Intrigued by our deep dive into the Jack Daniel’s 12 Year back on March 24th, 2025? Well, the journey into aged Tennessee whiskey continues! We’ve managed to snag a highly coveted bottle of the Jack Daniel’s 14 Year Batch 1, and you know we couldn’t wait to share our experience with you.

This isn’t just another whiskey review; it’s a step into history. As Jack Daniel’s themselves stated in their press release, this release marks their oldest age-stated whiskey in over a century! Think about that – a taste of liquid history, matured to perfection right here in Lynchburg, Tennessee.

Just like the iconic Old No. 7, this 14-year-old expression starts with their signature mash bill (80% corn, 12% malted barley, 8% rye) and undergoes the Lincoln County Process – that meticulous drop-by-drop mellowing through 10 feet of sugar maple charcoal. But what magic does those extra two years in the barrel impart? At a bold 126.3 proof (63.15% ABV), this promises a rich and intense experience.

The buzz around this release has been incredible. Will it live up to the hype? Will it surpass the impressive 12-year-old in our books? You can bet your favorite sipping glass that we’ll be delivering our unfiltered, honest assessment as we taste, dissect the nuances, and compare this remarkable whiskey.

Ready to join the tasting? Hit that play button now to witness our first impressions, detailed review, and final verdict on the Jack Daniel’s 14 Year Batch 1!

We want to hear from YOU too! Have you managed to get your hands on a bottle? What are your thoughts on this historic release? Drop a comment below – we love discussing whiskey with our community! Cheers!
