    🥃 DadDimes on the Rocks —Season 6, Episode 11: Old Fitzgerald Bourbon Review

    On this episode of DadDimes on the Rocks, we pour a bourbon that represents heritage, craftsmanship, and one of the most respected wheated whiskey traditions in Kentucky — Old Fitzgerald Bourbon. With roots dating back to the late 1800s, Old Fitzgerald has earned its place among bourbon royalty, delivering a smooth and refined profile that continues to captivate whiskey enthusiasts generation after generation. From the moment the bottle is opened, Old Fitzgerald announces itself with elegance rather than intensity. The nose offers rich aromas of honey, vanilla custard, and caramelized sugar, layered with baked apples, cinnamon, and soft oak. As the whiskey opens up, subtle notes of toasted nuts, butterscotch, and delicate floral sweetness emerge, creating a beautifully inviting experience. The palate showcases exactly why wheated bourbons have developed such a devoted following. Creamy vanilla, brown sugar, and toffee lead the way before transitioning into flavors of fresh baked bread, light fruit, and seasoned oak. The wheat in the mash bill softens the spice profile, allowing the sweetness and texture to take center stage while maintaining exceptional balance and complexity. As the sip evolves, notes of caramel, baking spice, and gentle oak continue to build before giving way to a long, smooth finish. Hints of honey, vanilla bean, and toasted oak linger comfortably, creating an experience that feels sophisticated yet approachable. Throughout the episode, we explore the rich history of the Old Fitzgerald name, discuss the influence of wheated bourbon on flavor development, and examine why these highly sought-after decanter releases have become favorites among collectors and enthusiasts alike. We also break down value, rarity, and whether Old Fitzgerald's reputation matches what's actually in the glass. Pour yourself a dram and join DadDimes as we celebrate a bourbon built on tradition, patience, and timeless Kentucky craftsmanship. Because at DadDimes on the Rocks, every great bourbon carries a legacy—and every legacy deserves a toast. #DadDimesOnTheRocks #OldFitzgerald #WheatedBourbon #KentuckyBourbon #BourbonPodcast #WhiskeyReview #HeavenHillDistillery #BourbonLife #WhiskeyCommunity #BourbonCollector #DecanterSeries #AmericanWhiskey #DrinkResponsibly

    On this episode of DadDimes on the Rocks, we pour a bourbon that has quietly earned a reputation for delivering big flavor, impressive age, and exceptional value — Old Ezra 7 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. Bottled at a robust barrel-strength proof and aged for seven years, this Kentucky classic brings together boldness and balance in a way that keeps bourbon enthusiasts coming back for more. From the first pour, Old Ezra 7 Year makes its presence known.

    🥃 DadDimes on the Rocks — Season 6, Episode 5: Crafting the Ultimate Old Fashioned

    On this episode of DadDimes on the Rocks, we step behind the bar to build what might just be the ultimate Old Fashioned — a cocktail rooted in tradition, elevated by premium ingredients, and centered around the bold character of Elijah Craig Single Barrel 15 Year Bourbon. This isn’t a rushed pour or a throw-together happy hour drink. This is an Old Fashioned designed to slow the evening down. We start with the rich, oak-forward depth of Elijah Craig 15 Year — a bourbon carrying layers of caramel, toasted vanilla, baking spice, and mature Kentucky oak from over a decade in the barrel. Its full-bodied profile creates the perfect foundation for a cocktail that demands balance without sacrificing complexity. To build the sweetness, we drop in La Perruche sugar cubes, bringing a subtle raw cane sugar richness that melts beautifully into the bourbon while adding a slightly deeper, more natural sweetness than the standard white cube. A few dashes of Angostura Orange Bitters brighten the drink with citrus oils and spice, lifting the heavier oak and caramel notes while adding depth to every sip. Then comes the finishing touch — Woodford Reserve Cocktail Cherries. Dark, rich, and packed with syrupy flavor, they bring just enough fruit and elegance to round out the experience without overpowering the whiskey itself. Stirred over a large cube and finished with an expressed orange peel, this Old Fashioned delivers everything the classic cocktail should be: bold, balanced, aromatic, and timeless. Every ingredient plays its role, but the bourbon remains the star of the glass. Throughout the episode, we break down why ingredient quality matters in simple cocktails, how aged bourbon changes the Old Fashioned experience, and whether premium components truly create a next-level pour. So grab your mixing glass, cut a fresh orange peel, and join DadDimes as we craft a cocktail built for whiskey lovers who appreciate tradition done right. Because at DadDimes on the Rocks, great cocktails start with great stories — and even better bourbon. #DadDimesOnTheRocks #OldFashioned #ElijahCraig15 #BourbonCocktails #WhiskeyPodcast #CraftCocktails #ElijahCraig #WoodfordReserve #AngosturaBitters #WhiskeyLife #BourbonLife #CocktailCulture #DrinkResponsibly

Aged for a decade and a half and selected from an individual barrel, this pour brings together maturity, depth, and the unique personality that only time and single-barrel selection can create.

Deep caramel, vanilla bean, toasted oak, and baked apple rise first, followed by layers of cinnamon, nutmeg, leather, and a touch of dark cherry. It’s bold, inviting, and promises a bourbon experience meant to be savored slowly. On the palate, the whiskey opens with rich toffee, brown sugar, and maple sweetness before seasoned oak quickly steps forward. Notes of baking spice, roasted nuts, dried fruit, and cocoa develop as the sip unfolds, showing both complexity and structure. The mouthfeel is full and coating, with the maturity of the barrel delivering a bold but balanced profile that rewards every return to the glass. The finish is long and warming, leaving behind charred oak, vanilla, soft pepper, and lingering hints of caramelized sugar. It’s the kind of pour that evolves from first sip to last drop, making each glass a little different than the one before. Throughout the episode, we break down what 15 years of aging does to bourbon, how single-barrel releases create one-of-a-kind experiences, and whether Elijah Craig 15 finds that sweet spot between richness and over-oaked intensity.
