A variation on the classic Manhattan, the Preakness cocktail is an herbaceous and delicious cocktail that’s easy to make. The name of the cocktail comes from an annual horse race, the Preakness Stakes, and I guess is meant to symbolize a day at the track; tasting the sweetness of victory (vermouth) and the bitterness of […]

Thanks to LAWS, I’ve been able to taste quite a few Parker’s Heritage releases and until trying this one, Golden Anniversary was my favorite. Yeah yeah, I know i’s a spoiler to give that away, but if you’ve been around bourbon for a while you already knew this one didn’t suck. So… there. To make […]

One part Cascade Hollow column still rye, one part Leopold Bros Three Chamber Rye, 100% unique: George Dickel x Leopold Bros Collaboration Blend Rye. I’m excited to try, but going to lie, I’m more than a little sad that this is how I get to try my first taste of George Dickel rye made at […]

Wild Turkey Master’s Keep One is the sixth entry in the MK line and employs something that keeps gaining steam in the industry, but hasn’t been seen in the rickhouses of Wild Turkey: toasted barrel finishing. Barrel finishing, on the whole, isn’t a super common thing at Wild Turkey, the Revival being the only recent, […]

I enjoyed the 2021, so I’m looking forward to the Barrell Bourbon New Year 2022, the yearly release from Barrell to celebrate the end of one year and usher in the next. Last year I sipped on the 2021 as the clock marched towards midnight on NYE; it felt appropriate to be kicking 2019 to […]

Barrell Seagrass is an American-Canadian blended rye finished in ex-Rum, ex-Madeira and ex-Apricot brandy casks. Separately finished, not consecutively finished; both the American and the Canadian components. If that makes sense skip on down to the next section. If you’re a bit confused, read on. To make the Seagrass, Barrell sourced parcels of rye whiskey […]

Cold-weather is setting in and with its arrival comes the annual releases, like this Little Book Chapter 5 “The Invitation”. Headed up by Freddie Noe, this whiskey has quickly become an anticipated yearly release. Not just because it’s usually pretty good, not just because it gets some good marketing, but because we’re all curious what […]
