I saw this on Etsy recently and fell in love. How about getting a set of PERSONALIZED BOURBON GLASSES ? Yes, it’s true. These are incredible. You can choose from a variety of designs and lettering to make them your own. I am into collecting different styles of bourbon glasses and these will definitely make it[…]
After nosing around the “Bourbonsphere” for a while I saw several posts about the limited edition rye from Bookers! At first I said…ok…. another rye. (Fast becoming the NEW whiskey….ugh) But then I looked at the proof… nearly 140%! Whoa! “Now you have my attention”, I uttered under my breath. It seems to be fact[…]
When I heard that the price point would be around $100 I was skeptical about this blend but as soon as you “nose” this one you are drawn into the curiosity of this drink. The labeling alone is worth $20 of the $105! It harkens back to a time when bourbon was young and our[…]

Leave it to Esquire Magazine to come up with a list that I think is the absolute dead on, no holes barred, best list of winter libations this side of a hot tottie. (Which I tried to make once and failed miserably) Who knew that cognac and sparkling wine could make such a fine brain[…]
I ran across this recently on Amazon and felt like I had struck gold. This book has everything you need to know about whiskeys across the globe including Scotch and bourbon as well as Tennessee, Irish, Japanese, and Canadian whiskeys.

I haven’t actually tried this but I am dying to get a hold of these. Wait….. maybe I should reconsider that comment considering the product’s name. 🙂 Thes look awesome! So here’s what I love about this. If you’re like me your libation gets too watered down even with the giant ice cubes that[…]
