We’re tired of it. Tired of the cryptic tasting notes. Tired of the elaborate marketing schemes. Tired of the pretentious plague that has sickened the whiskey industry for far too long now. We’ve had enough of the mind-boggling allocated bottle events where liquor store owners force grown men to act like 5th graders in exchange for a chance to buy a bottle of Weller at retail. The Hard Proof is on a mission to revitalize the whiskey industry and take it back to a time when whiskey was purcha ...

With Victor out on medical leave, Devo and Rob take on this review in full stride. Our first Cognac Cask finished bourbon to date uses the Old Elk High-Malt Bourbon (5 Year) and ages it secondarily in a Cognac Barrel for 10 more months. It makes for an interesting tasting whiskey that is likely unlike anything you have tried. Whiskey: Old Elk Cogna…

We all know Devo loves his Knob, but will this tickle his fancy? Only time will tell. This bottle is an intriguing mix at 70% Knob Creek 7 Year Rye and 30% Knob Creek 9 Year Bourbon. Jefferson's has been very well know for their master blenders, but how will Knob Creek do on this blend? Whiskey: Knob Creek Bourbon x Rye Price: $45 Proof: 113 Age: 9…

Well, this was one of those bottles you see and it looks familiar but so different. This bottle was a dusty when I bought it. It was bottled in 2018 and I bought it around 2022-2023. Knob Creek Cask Strength Rye appears to have been a special release that ended with the 2018 version and can still be found today, although it may be hard to find on y…

With Devo out, Victor stepped up in a big way with strong review and whiskey talk skills. He definitely stepped up and knocked it out of the park. Well, on to the whiskey. This week Victor and Rob try Penelope Rio, a triple cask aged bourbon out of Penelope. It is hard to find and on the pricier side, so is it worth it? I hope we do a good job of a…

Longbranch was our highest rated bourbon for quite some time. Over time, our palates have changed and we were not sure if we rated it too highly. The only major change since our original review is the bourbon is no longer affiliated with Matthew McConaughey. Is it really as good as we originally thought it was? Whiskey: Longbranch Bourbon by Wild T…

As you all know, we are big fans of Old Forester. They have great whisky so we couldn't pass up a couple of bottles of their Single Barrel Barrel Strength Rye.

Surprisingly, we have never done a full review of Angel's Envy Bourbon, but that changes today... An interesting pour for a port barrel aged bourbon that has a lot of flavor for it's low proof.

As you all likely know, we have a special spot in our hearts for Bulleit, except the single malt (just a huge mistake). So, when we saw the 12 year Rye, we had to give it a shot. The only major change to this rye whiskey was over doubling the age. It is quite a smooth sipper with some good flavors, but does it hold up to the higher price tag than B…
