Walking in Memphis: Blue Note Juke Joint Bourbon Review – Born on Beale or Just a Col. Parker Promotion?
Blue Note Juke Joint leans heavy on Memphis blues marketing — guitars, juke joints, and a promise of aging in the sweltering Mississippi Delta. But peel back the label and what you’ve got is Kentucky juice, probably from Green River in Owensboro, with a Memphis blues jacket. In this Rickhouse Rant, I put the story to the test with a full review: nose, palate, and finish.
B’s Rickhouse Rant, Vol. 9 – Baker’s 7: The Spoiled Society Sandwich Bourbon
Baker’s 7 is the bourbon hiding in plain sight. Age-stated, single barrel, 107 proof, and available for $50—no passwords, no lotteries, no nonsense. In a world obsessed with hype and scarcity, this Beam sleeper delivers rich flavor, a cozy Kentucky hug, and a peanut butter sandwich of a finish. Maybe it’s time we stop chasing unicorns and start appreciating the bottle right in front of us.
