The first sip is smooth and flavorful, beginning with layers of toffee, caramel, and vanilla cream before giving way to notes of toasted oak, black pepper, and cinnamon spice. The balance between sweetness and oak creates a well-rounded profile, while touches of roasted nuts and light dried fruit add depth without overpowering the bourbon's easy-drinking character. The finish is warm, clean, and satisfying, lingering with notes of vanilla, caramelized sugar, toasted oak, and gentle spice.

    🥃 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. Because at DadDimes on the Rocks, every pour has a story—and sometimes the most memorable stories begin by trying something completely different. #DadDimesOnTheRocks #QueenJennie #SorghumWhiskey #AmericanWhiskey #WhiskeyReview #CraftWhiskey #WhiskeyPodcast #WhiskeyCommunity #AlternativeGrains #WhiskeyLovers #DrinkResponsibly #ExploreWhiskey

    🥃 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

    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.

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.
