Review - Maker's Mark Private Select Kentucky Bourbon - Troutdale Liquor

April 09, 2020 by The Sidekicks in American

10 individual custom wood finishing staves were hand selected by Troutdale Liquor in Troutdale, OR creating this kick in the pants….It isn’t for faint of heart at 109.8 proof and is definitely not in the price point for just anyone either. This is top-shelf hand-crafted Kentucky Bourbon and fits the bill.

Review - Basil Hayden's Two By Two Rye

March 04, 2020 by The Sidekicks in American

More and more coming to the conclusion that Basil Hayden’s is the Lacroix of bourbons. Basically whiskey infused with essential oils… It's pretty pricey for what it brings to the table … confused. Two By Two Rye doesn’t give us anything to hate but nothing to bring us back.

Review - Willett Family Estate Bottled Small Batch Rye

January 14, 2019 by The Sidekicks in American

One of those whiskeys that hides its true character until you get a taste of it…..Worth every penny so buy it when you see it and don't look back.

Review - Little Book™ Chapter 2: Noe Simple Task

December 10, 2018 by The Sidekicks in American

Full bodied and uncharacteristically smooth for its proof, the second release of Little Book™ - Chapter 2: Noe Simple Task makes a perfect dram for the holidays or any day for that matter. Full of oak, spices and dried fruit notes, this is definitely one bottle you would want to seek out. Look for it to be released yearly just ahead of the holiday season. Noe Simple Task is a cliffhanger and we look forward to what Freddie has written for Chapter 3.

Review - Old Weller Antique 107

November 06, 2018 by The Sidekicks in American

We plan on keeping a bottle of 107 on hand at all times and for under $30 bucks you can too. Probably would not be a good first experience for a novice whiskey drinker because it comes across pretty hot and surprisingly deep in flavor. Someone who enjoys bourbon would appreciate the detour from your standard Kentucky release.
