About Me

Hey guys, my name is Don Matthews. First off, I am not that old but both Whiskey Dude and Bourbon Dude were both taken. Well, that gives me several years to grow into the Old Whiskey Dude. Plus “Old” gives credibility to anything whiskey related: Old Rip Van Winkle, Old Forester, Old Fitzgerald, Old Grandad, ……… What you will read here is down to earth, non stuffy reviews and thoughts on Whiskey. I will not use marzipan as a description for nose or palate cause I don’t know what it is. You will also never see me list 10 different things I get on the nose. If I pick up more than four smells, it must be seriously complex. I will focus mainly on Bourbon, Rye, and Irish Whiskey because that is what I know the best. I have slowly gained an appreciation for Scotch but it is still a work in progress with me. As the title says, “Whiskey, Music and other Profound Topics”, so you may see some blogs about music or any other thing I find interesting in the moment. I look forward to sharing my journey with you and I hope you find something of interest.
