About This Blog

This is a blog about bourbon, because bourbon is a rock star. In the world of liquors, bourbon is the headliner. It sells out the biggest arenas. It tops the charts. Bourbon is the heavy metal of alcoholic beverages. It's the soaring vocals, the screaming guitars, the thundering bass and the smashing drums of the spirit world. It's simply the best. Other whiskies, rums, brandies and tequilas are worthy acts, but they all bow down when bourbon takes the stage. It's what the fans really want. Bourbon is the main attraction, because bourbon roxx!

In this blog, we'll review mostly bourbons, with some other liquors scattered about for variety. Sometimes, we'll review single expressions, usually allocated bottles that are hard to find at a reasonable price. Sometimes, we'll do head-to-head competitions. Sometimes, we'll build flights. These could be multiple expressions from the same distillery, or similar expressions from different distilleries. This blog is not intended to be elitist, though the best bourbons these days usually command a high price. Sometimes, we'll review everyday bourbons or value bourbons. Not every show needs a high ticket price.

Each bourbon or other liquor will be reviewed in the usual manner, including color, body, nose, palate and finish. It will also be reviewed on its value and its availability. Value depends upon price, quality, age and proof. Availability depends upon where you live, but we will focus on the internet. At the end of the review, the bourbon or other liquor will be scored, based on a criteria developed by Bourbon Roxx. Only the quality will be used to determine the score. Let's pretend you have infinite money to spend and infinite time to search the web.

It's important to remember that everyone has a different nose and a different palate. Bourbon Roxx can be a guide to help you understand the bourbon or other liquor, but you have to taste it for yourself. Just because we like something doesn't mean you will. Just because we don't like something doesn't mean you won't. There is no right or wrong. The important thing is that you enjoy the tasting and decide if you want to have another. In keeping with the heavy metal theme, we will recommend a classic metal track to play while enjoying each bourbon or other liquor. If you prefer another genre, please feel free.
