There's really not much more to say than this: 25 YEARS. Very old for a Scotch, and ANCIENT for a Bourbon. Join Mark and Jimmy as they drill deep into Michter's. What to eat with this? Cheers!
Mark and Jimmy hang out with Bernie Lubbers and Fred Noe, who called Baker Beam "Uncle Bake". Find out why. Cheers!
Mark and Jimmy make a stop in Lawrenceburg, KY and discover (or rather, RE-Discover!) Four Roses Bourbon. See why they are back with a vengeance, making some of the best bourbons we've ever tasted. Enjoy!
Hey There folks! Loud Guy and Communicator Guy in Michigan, checking out the craft industry. Our newest snooping has led us to a store in Brighton, Michigan which stocks New Holland's Artisan Spirits line. Their HATTER ROYALE HOPQUILA is a "fermented wash of 100% Barley, twice distilled, then steeped with Centennial hops." So the QUILA moniker is a tad misleading - it's actually a hop-infused grain liquor. Sort of a hopped White Dog. And upon tasting, we can report that EVERY HopHead should have this in their home arsenal. The hop character is not overwhelming but suffused throughout, and really raises the malt whiskey character to another level. Wonderful stuff! Stay tuned for further updates. Cheers!
Jimmy and Mark spend a little time at the Upper West Side 5 Napkin doing some Maximum Visibility Drinking with this fine Bourbon.
Hey McGlassFolk! So after a thrilling (and we mean that literally) breakfast at The Piggery yesterday morning (more about them later), we were off to Burdett, NY, and Finger Lakes Distilling Company. These guys are making 17 different products, among them a killer Bourbon, Rye, Gin, some Vodkas and several liqueurs that will just blow your doors off. Look for a vid on them very soon. What a day!
The 5 Napkin Burger Beer & Bourbon Blog strikes again! Jimmy and Mark recount some time in Frankfort, KY and the Buffalo Trace Distillery where they learned about this spirit, a wonderfully crafted Bourbon with big vanilla notes and a great history to boot.
