About Whiskey Consensus: Expert Whiskey Reviews and Bourbon Reviews

Welcome to Whiskey Consensus, your premier destination for in-depth whiskey reviews, bourbon reviews, industry news, recipes, and insightful articles. Founded in 2017 by Matthew Evans as an Instagram project to share a passion for whiskey through stunning bottle photography, we’ve grown into a vibrant community of enthusiasts dedicated to exploring, reviewing, and celebrating the world of whiskey. Join us in toasting to the rich history, craftsmanship, and flavors of bourbon, rye, scotch, and beyond!

Our History and Mission

Whiskey Consensus began in February 2017 on Instagram, where we started sharing our whiskey journey through high-quality photographs. What started as a simple passion project has evolved into a comprehensive resource for whiskey lovers worldwide. Our mission is to provide honest, detailed whiskey reviews and bourbon reviews that demystify the spirit, educate our audience, and foster a community of like-minded enthusiasts. We focus on transparency, objectivity, and education, drawing from our team’s extensive knowledge to guide you through the ever-expanding world of whiskey.

As part of our commitment to the community, we emphasize educational content, barrel picks, and collaborations that highlight the artistry behind every bottle. Our site is built on WordPress with the Elementor builder and Ocean theme, allowing us to create engaging, user-friendly experiences optimized for search engines and AI-driven discoveries.

Our Review Process: Honest Whiskey Reviews and Bourbon Reviews

At Whiskey Consensus, our whiskey reviews and bourbon reviews are crafted with integrity. Each review is non-sponsored and as objective as possible, based on our genuine experiences. We evaluate whiskeys on a 0-10 point scale across five categories: Complexity, Nose, Palate, Finish, and Value. This structured approach provides detailed tasting notes, ratings, and recommendations to help you find the perfect pour.

Our scoring guide:

Score Range	Description
9.5-10	Exceptional – One for the history books.
9-9.4	Outstanding Whiskey
8.5-8.9	Great
8-8.4	Very Good
7.5-7.9	Good
7-7.4	Above Average
6-6.9	Average
5-5.9	Below Average
0-4.9	Hard Pass
