In this episode we will blind taste four bourbon whiskeys: Buffalo Trace, Knob Creek, Woodford Reserve and Maker’s Mark to find the best kentucky bourbon whiskey.

A unique tasting experience that may make new fans of jagermeister and bourbon. The homemade sweet/sour recipe gives a nice flavor with good sours and sweets that taste as natural as they are! We’re building this slightly different than the recipe says, but that’s okay, do what you love. This is a recipe worth checking [...]
Not quite a holiday cocktail, this drink brings the essence of winter to the forefront. Honestly, I’ll be glad to see winter leave but while it’s here we might as well do a few cocktails that reflect the season.

The Washington Apple is a great cocktail to introduce people to whiskey as it doesn’t bring whiskey in full force and allows other sweeter tones to shine through. You’ll still find the oaks and smoothness of the whiskey while bringing an added structure of cranberry to really showcase the cocktail. Show Links: Print it Now [...]
The Whiskey Sour is a beautifully elegant tasting cocktail with flavors of sweet and sour, almost like lemonade along with great oak flavors with a great body.
