From Moonshine To Single Malt
Finding moonshine in the state of Nebraska – or roughly the 900-mile radius thereabouts – is rarely a problem, finding single malt whiskies, however – that is more problematic. Mostly because Nebraska happens to be located amidst cornfields in the USA and not in Speyside in Scotland. But Nebraskans are nothing if not resilient and after two year of aging in American oak barrels, Cut Spike Distillery has produced their […]
Bees Or Bears – It’s All About The Honey
Actor Phil Morris in his Jackie Chiles character [a parody of famed O.J. Simpson lawyer, Johnnie Cochran] is representing the bees in a fake lawsuit brought against the bears for wasting honey by eating it when it should be saved to go into Jim Beam Honey whiskey…
Wild Turkey’s Mistake Produces WTF!
Whether or not you choose to believe it, it makes for a good story around the whiskey-drinking table. As Wild Turkey master distiller Eddie Russell tells it, the WT distillery crew “mistakenly” combined rare 22% four-year-old rye with 78% six-year-old bourbon and the resulting newborn was a 91 proof [45.5% alcohol] small batch bourbon-rye whiskey that he named “Forgiven” [after what he supposedly says he told the crew after the […]
Herman’s Bourbon
If you are either from Texas, have been to Texas or have heard about Texas from your friends, it is likely that you know about the premier whiskey from that state, Balcones. However, as Texas is quite a large state – by American state standards – there is bound to be another premium brown spirit that would come along if only to avoid having to say or type Waco [where […]
Remy Martin Douses GQ Men of the Year In 2013
Remy Martin Cognac is the iconic so it makes perfect sense for Remy Martin to be the official spirits sponsor of the GQ magazine Men Of The Year contest for 2013. As official spirits sponsor of the fashionable manly contest [won last year by Channing Tatum in the USA, like you didn’t know] it means Remy Martin is the main spirit being served at the award ceremony and also gives […]
…And In This Corner – Angel’s Envy
Imagine if you will, that old decision-making scenario popularized in “Animal House” where an angel pops up on one shoulder and the devil pops up on the other and each provides the pros and cons as to the current decision that must be made. Well, when it comes to the new Angel’s Envy bourbon, the name says it all – the angel has already sided with the decision that is […]
Go West, Young Man, For Marionberry Whiskey
There are all sorts of flavors of whiskey popping up these days so, Marionberry Whiskey? Why not? This newest flavor of whiskey comes from Eastside Distillery in Portland, Oregon, flirts with your nostrils in the expected fruity aromatic wily ways [but with a touch of spicy citrus] and while you would not expect it to pack the punch of a Woodford Reserve, you would be right, it doesn’t. Marionberry Whiskey […]
Mumford Whiskey In The Barrel
What is going on here!? First there was Selena Gomez taking a shot of Jack and now here is Mumford and Sons – the popular bluegrass, alt-folk or whatever you want to call them [just don’t call them rock-and-roll, Alice Cooper says real rock-and-rollers can’t be vegans and have to eat steak] musicians jumping on the whiskey train. The Mumfords, rather than subtly sponsor a particular brand by admitting they […]
Live True, Preferably With Dewar’s
It’s not certain if this is how John Dewar Sr. would have done it or perhaps it is just how they do things in Spain – but either way it seems odd that there would be an entire advertisement for Dewar’s Scotch Whisky in Spain showing many younger people not only not playing soccer but also not actually possessing a glass containing Dewar’s – never mind being seen drinking said […]
Selena Gomez Meets Jack Daniels On Her 21st Birthday
Normally, pop princess Selena Gomez and Jack Daniels whiskey would not be two names you expect to see in the same sentence, but such is the popularity of whiskey these days that it has come to this – Gomez admitting to talk show host Jay Leno that she did indeed meet Jack Daniels -and took some shots at him – on her 21st birthday for her first legal drinks. Of […]
100-Year-Old Whiskey Evaporates Into Man’s Mouth
John Saunders, a 62-year-old caretaker in Pennsylvania, was officially charged this week with stealing nearly half of the 104 bottles of Old Farm Pure Rye whiskey that was found in his landlord’s house and which he was supposed to be safeguarding. Well, he kept it safe alright – Saunders kept the contents of nearly 50 of those bottles safely residing in his mouth over the past few years until landlord […]
Whiskey Winds Up Being Worth Rebellion
Back in the day – specifically July 1794 – the residents of the newly created United States of America didn’t much cotton to the notion of having their whiskey taxed according to the bright idea of then-treasurer Alexander Hamilton, so they did what they were best at – rebelled. When the fledgling U.S. government being led by its initial president George Washington, sent a tax collector to the ironically named […]
Beam Puts 2 Gingers In Charge Of Whiskey World Domination
It used to be that the people who liked whiskey [or whisky] were a select group – a real select group – but that was before the big distilleries discovered just how much they could monkey with the taste [oak, then honey, now blackberry and a million others] and how much money they could make by appealing to those who really did not like the taste of a traditional bourbon […]
Whiskey Girl Is Comic-Con 2013 Afterparty Stop
Usually, whiskey and Comic-Con don’t hold hands but it’s 2013 and whiskey is hot, hot, hot and with Comic-Con 2013 a mere week and a half away – like you didn’t know – there’s even more opportunity for whiskey to be a gateway drink for 25-year olds than ever before. Especially since the San Diego bar Whiskey Girl [located at 702 Fifth Avenue in the Gaslamp Quarter] is the proud […]
Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey Has A Familiar Buzz
The Jack Daniel’s bee is back – in a television commercial where the King Bee and his buddies sniff out the only joint in town [apparently] that has Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey whiskey… [which just so happens to be the country’s largest selling honey-flavored whiskey, did we mention that?] The ad also supports JD’s summer sweepstakes [jacksummerswarm.com] where entrants may vie for prizes after detailing their most swesome summer moments […]
