  • This is some excellent juice, and if you can find one of these itty-bitty bottles on the shelf…you’d be well-advised to buy it.

  • Whiskey Consensus
  • By Eric Stumbo
  • This is really good bourbon, but one must question the cost because for just a few dollars more one can buy a Russell’s Reserve store pick that is 110 Proof, non-chill filtered, AND twice the size.

  • In the opinion of this humble whiskey reviewer, if W.B. Saffell doesn’t excite bourbon lovers about the Whiskey Barons Collection then nothing will.

  • I’m a real big fan of this. Sure, it’s not M20, but I think it’s pretty darn good for what it is. I liked Ripy and others, but I think this is my favorite Barons release to date.
