    🥃 DadDimes on the Rocks — Season 6, Episode 19: 2017 Evan Williams Single Barrel Bourbon Vintage Review

    On this episode of DadDimes on the Rocks, we crack open a bottle with a little history behind every pour — 2017 Evan Williams Single Barrel Bourbon Vintage. A single-barrel bourbon marked by its vintage rather than simply a batch number, this expression gives us the opportunity to explore how time, barrel selection, and Kentucky craftsmanship come together in one unique bottle. From the first pour, the nose brings classic bourbon character with aromas of caramel, vanilla, toasted oak, and brown sugar. As the whiskey opens in the glass, hints of baked apple, cinnamon, honey, and light dried fruit begin to emerge, creating an inviting aroma that balances sweetness with mature oak. The palate starts with rich notes of toffee, caramel, vanilla, and maple before developing into layers of toasted oak, baking spice, roasted nuts, and subtle dark fruit. There's a satisfying warmth to the sip, with the single-barrel character giving the bourbon a personality that feels distinctive rather than manufactured. As the whiskey settles across the palate, notes of brown sugar, cinnamon, charred oak, and gentle pepper add structure to the sweetness. The result is a classic Kentucky bourbon experience with enough complexity to keep whiskey enthusiasts exploring the glass. The finish is warm and lingering, leaving behind vanilla, caramel, seasoned oak, and a touch of baking spice. It's a comfortable, familiar bourbon profile that rewards slow sipping and makes this vintage release especially fun to revisit. Throughout the episode, we talk about what makes vintage-dated single-barrel bourbon different, how barrel variation can influence the final pour, and whether a 2017 vintage Evan Williams Single Barrel still holds up as a bottle worth seeking out. We also break down the flavor, value, collectibility, and overall DadDimes verdict. Pour yourself a glass and join DadDimes as we revisit a vintage bourbon that reminds us that every barrel has its own story. Because at DadDimes on the Rocks, every bottle has a story — and sometimes the vintage makes it even more interesting. #DadDimesOnTheRocks #EvanWilliams #EvanWilliamsSingleBarrel #Vintage2017 #SingleBarrelBourbon #KentuckyBourbon #BourbonPodcast #WhiskeyReview #HeavenHill #BourbonLife #WhiskeyCommunity #AmericanWhiskey #BourbonCollector #DrinkResponsibly

    On this episode of DadDimes on the Rocks, we pour a whiskey with a name that promises a little attitude and a lot of character — Devil’s Sister Kentucky Whiskey. Coming out of Kentucky, a state synonymous with American whiskey, this bottle brings its own personality to the glass and gives us another opportunity to explore what makes the Bluegrass State such a powerhouse in the whiskey world. From the first pour, Devil’s Sister opens with inviting aromas of caramel, vanilla, sweet grain, and toasted oak. As it rests in the glass, hints of brown sugar, cinnamon, and light baking spice begin to emerge, creating a nose that is approachable while still offering plenty to discover. The palate delivers a smooth combination of sweetness and spice. Notes of caramel, honey, vanilla, and butterscotch arrive first before giving way to toasted oak, cinnamon, and a gentle peppery warmth. Subtle hints of dried fruit and roasted nuts add another layer of character, creating a whiskey that's easy to enjoy without demanding too much from the drinker. As the whiskey develops, the balance between sweet grain, oak, and spice becomes more noticeable. It's a straightforward, approachable Kentucky whiskey that works well as a neat pour while also offering enough character to make it an interesting option for cocktails or a relaxed evening on the rocks. The finish is warm and clean, leaving behind lingering vanilla, caramel, soft oak, and a touch of spice. It doesn't overstay its welcome, but it leaves enough behind to make you reach for the glass again.

    🥃 DadDimes on the Rocks — Season 6, Episode 13: Queen Jennie Sorghum Whiskey Review

    On this episode of DadDimes on the Rocks, we step beyond traditional bourbon and rye to discover a whiskey that celebrates American innovation and agricultural heritage — Queen Jennie Sorghum Whiskey. Distilled entirely from grain sorghum rather than the familiar corn, rye, or wheat, this unique spirit offers whiskey lovers the opportunity to experience a flavor profile unlike anything found in a conventional pour. From the first swirl, Queen Jennie greets the senses with delicate aromas of honey, vanilla, toasted grain, and light caramel. Gentle floral notes mingle with hints of orchard fruit and baking spice, creating an inviting bouquet that showcases the distinct character of sorghum while remaining unmistakably whiskey. The palate is remarkably smooth and approachable. Sweet notes of honey, butterscotch, and vanilla bean are balanced by toasted grain, cinnamon, and soft oak. As the whiskey unfolds, subtle flavors of ripe pear, roasted almonds, and a touch of citrus zest emerge, offering a layered experience that continues to evolve with each sip. The sorghum grain contributes a silky mouthfeel and gentle sweetness that sets this whiskey apart from more traditional mash bills. The finish is clean, warm, and pleasantly lingering, leaving behind notes of caramel, toasted oak, delicate spice, and a whisper of floral sweetness. It's a whiskey that rewards slow sipping and invites conversation about how different grains can completely reshape the whiskey experience. Throughout the episode, we discuss what makes sorghum whiskey unique, how alternative grains are expanding the American whiskey landscape, and whether Queen Jennie deserves a place alongside more familiar bourbon and rye expressions. We also break down the craftsmanship, flavor profile, and who this distinctive whiskey is best suited for. Pour yourself a glass and join DadDimes as we explore a whiskey that proves tradition and innovation can share the same bottle.

    🥃 DadDimes on the Rocks — Season 6, Episode 12: Redemption Cask Series Rum Cask Finish Review

    On this episode of DadDimes on the Rocks, we explore a whiskey that bridges two worlds of flavor — Redemption Cask Series Rum Cask Finish. By taking a bold American whiskey and finishing it in carefully selected rum casks, Redemption creates a pour that balances classic whiskey character with layers of tropical sweetness and spice. The journey begins on the nose with aromas of rich caramel, vanilla bean, toasted oak, and brown sugar, followed by inviting hints of banana, molasses, and orange zest. As the whiskey opens in the glass, subtle notes of cinnamon, baking spices, and dried tropical fruit emerge, revealing the unmistakable influence of the rum cask finish. The first sip is both familiar and unexpected. Traditional bourbon notes of toffee, honey, and vanilla provide the foundation before the rum cask introduces flavors of dark brown sugar, ripe banana, toasted coconut, and a touch of baking spice. The sweetness is well-balanced, allowing the whiskey's oak structure and spice to remain at the forefront without becoming overly rich. As the palate develops, hints of dried fig, caramelized pineapple, and warm cinnamon create additional depth, while the finish delivers lingering notes of toasted oak, vanilla, light molasses, and gentle pepper. The result is a smooth, layered whiskey that offers something new with every sip. Throughout the episode, we discuss how secondary cask finishing transforms whiskey, whether rum barrels enhance or distract from the original spirit, and where Redemption's Cask Series fits among today's growing lineup of finished whiskeys. We also break down its versatility as both a neat pour and a conversation starter for adventurous whiskey drinkers. Pour yourself a glass and join DadDimes as we discover what happens when classic American whiskey meets the rich, tropical character of Caribbean rum. Because at DadDimes on the Rocks, every great pour is an adventure—and sometimes the best journeys begin with a second barrel. #DadDimesOnTheRocks #RedemptionWhiskey #RedemptionCaskSeries #RumCaskFinish #FinishedWhiskey #WhiskeyReview #BourbonPodcast #WhiskeyCommunity #CraftWhiskey #AmericanWhiskey #WhiskeyLovers #CaskFinish #DrinkResponsibly
