The Truth About Whiskey Reviews — Integrity Matters More Than Hype

There’s a difference between not liking a whiskey and calling a whiskey bad.

In this video, I address something that doesn’t get talked about enough in whiskey reviews: honesty without agenda. Recently, my integrity was questioned because I wouldn’t tell people a whiskey was “bad” just because someone else didn’t enjoy it.

That’s not how I approach reviews — and it never will be.

Whiskey is subjective. Palates are different. And disagreement doesn’t require dishonesty.

Along the way, I also review and rate two bottles that sparked the conversation:

Jim Beam Winter Reserve

Smooth Ambler Founder’s Series Cask Strength Bourbon

You may agree with my take. You may not. That’s okay. What matters is that every opinion on this channel is genuine, unbiased, and based on what I actually experience in the glass — not what I’m expected to say.

If you value straightforward, no-hype whiskey content and honest discussion, you’re in the right place.

🥃 Cheers,
Aged in Oak
