I have a soft spot for Colorado whiskeys. It doesn’t matter how long they have been around or whether the product is sourced from elsewhere. If it is a Colorado brand, I’ll probably grab a bottle to sip while camping, wearing an Aksels Colorado shirt and hat.… Read the rest “Old Elk Wheated Bourbon: Review”

Buffalo Trace Bourbon: Review

Buffalo Trace in our garden bed.

People are irrational actors. We don’t always make rational choices and we are often driven by emotion. For example, you don’t have to look much farther than toilet paper hoarding which was common in the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic.… Read the rest “Buffalo Trace Bourbon: Review”

Yellowstone Select Bourbon: Review

Whenever we find ourselves in northern Wyoming, our trip is never complete without a detour into Yellowstone National Park.

Ezra Brooks 99 Bourbon

Ezra Brooks 99 Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon

Ezra Brooks is a bourbon I’ve picked up several times. It is usually my backup choice when the liquor store is out of my favorite daily drinker. The standard version of Ezra Brooks is 90 proof and I always thought it was missing a bit of flavor.… Read the rest “Ezra Brooks 99 Bourbon”

A few weeks ago, I made a quick trip to the liquor store to pick up a bottle of whiskey. Alie and I had been invited to a gathering at a friend’s house and Alie suggested we bring a bottle of whiskey to celebrate the occasion.… Read the rest “Wyoming Whiskey National Parks No. 2: Review”

Heaven Hill Bottled-in-Bond

If you have been paying attention to our weekly posts on Instagram, you probably know that I love bottled-in-bond whiskey. When I peruse the liquor store, I often snag bonded selections over other whiskeys. In some cases, I’ve passed up other coveted bottles in favor of bottled-in-bond.… Read the rest “Heaven Hill Bottled-in-Bond: Review”

*A note: While the Wilderness Whiskey Women prioritize sharing our reviews and experiences for others, this review of Old Grand-Dad Bonded Bourbon is for me and my grandfather.
