Rebel Yell Bourbon

Rebel Yell Bourbon

We so often ask ourselves whether whiskey is worth the mony mony or whether it’s dead on arrival. Rebel Yell might not leave you dancing with yourself, but the value’s certainly hot in the city.
Overall Rating: ★★☆

Evan Williams White Label

Evan Williams White Label

Evan Williams' White Label is most everything good about bourbon. It's buttery, sweet, cheap, and enjoyable enough to have every day. It's one-note, sure, but it's a good note.
Overall Rating: ★★☆

Rittenhouse Rye

Rittenhouse Rye

It's always something of a backhanded compliment if you recommend a particular bottle for cocktails. Truth is, Rittenhouse is always a right answer when it comes to any drink that calls for whiskey.
Overall Rating: ★★★

 

Mellow Corn

Mellow Corn

Do you want to know a secret? Mellow Corn might be the absolute best spirit bargain out there. It's so surprising and so cheap that you might as well pick up a bottle even if you don't drink whisky. Overall Rating: ★★★

Larceny Bourbon

Larceny Bourbon

If you're looking for a "wheater" bourbon to see what the category is all about, I'd say there are better locks to shove your key into.  Overall Rating: ★☆☆

Bernheim 7-year Wheat Whiskey

Bernheim 7-year Wheat Whiskey

It's close to a bourbon, but not quite: it's a wheat whiskey. There aren't many of them, and if Bernheim is representative of the category, it's a shame there aren't more.  Overall Rating: ★★☆
