We’re ranking 10 rye whiskeys from top to bottom in our Ultimate Rye Whiskey Tier List. From easy drinkers to bold, high-proof bottles, we’re putting them head-to-head and deciding which ryes belong in S Tier and which ones don’t make the cut.

In this episode, we compare bottle design and branding against a blind bourbon tasting to see whether appearance influences our rankings. Same whiskey, different perspective.

It’s time to crown the Best Everyday Bourbon in Kentucky. Six distillery champions enter the final blind, along with one wildcard selected by the Artfully Bourbon Social Club. By the end, only one bottle can take the title.

Welcome to Blind 02 of our search for the best everyday bourbon in Kentucky. In this double blind series, we taste and rank some of the biggest Kentucky distilleries to find the best daily drinker bourbon on the shelf.

In this episode of Artfully Bourbon, we rank the top Kentucky distilleries using a tier list approach, looking beyond just bottles to the full picture: consistency, reputation, lineup strength, price and what they actually deliver in the glass.

We put each other to the test and confidence was high. Two bottles. Blind pours. No labels. Featuring pours like Old Forester President’s Choice and Blanton’s, this should’ve been easy but it wasn’t.

Old Forester’s Whiskey Row Series is built on heritage, proof, and history, from the double-barreled richness of 1910 to the 115 proof punch of 1920 and the 10-year depth of 1924. But what if the best Old Forester doesn’t exist yet?
