It’s that time of year to get out for some fresh air and some unique and delectable wines. Some are super limited ( but don’t break the bank) and others are priced to be your everyday go to wines for casual outdoor dining with friends and family.
Yes, Middle West Whiskies is what we’ll be tasting today. No surprises that this part of the country has produced lots of good whiskies, but these ones are distilled and aged in Columbus, Ohio instead of Indiana and Kentucky. If you’ve never had them or heard of them, then all the more reason to stop in for a taste. Other than the bourbon cream, which is delicious by the way, I think we bought everything that was available in CT a couple of months ago. You know what that means!
It’s that time of year, you’ll need all kinds of beverages to make the holiday hustle and bustle tolerable, for some but for others, a joyous time. Well, whatever it is that drives you to drink, be it our incredible selection or other things we don’t need to talk about, come see us this weekend. We have wines and some Japanese whiskies you need to try. Besides we’ll be tasting and pre-selling our Kaiyo Single Barrel Whisky in Mizunara and Oloroso casks that should be quite delightful. And if you ask nicely, some Paul Sutton Heritage Bourbon also. So buckle up and cruise on in for some goodies.
Exquisite Tasting event of additive-free Tequila and Mezcal. If you like agave-based spirits, DO NOT MISS this event.
To keep the tasting all legit and legal, we are tasting 4 tequilas 3 to 4:30 pm in the first session. In the second session from 4:30 to 6:30 pm, we’ll be tasting 4 mezcals.
Tasting this Saturday also from 3 to 5 pm. All high end bottles of @barrellbourbon to taste and priced to make great holiday gifts. Don’t miss this tasting!!! Come earlier an join us for our holiday wine tasting too.
I know most of you like your spirits neat, as do I. But sometimes, a cocktail is just what you want and you don’t want some watered down drink made with subpar ingredients. We’re here to teach you how to make some simple standup cocktails, that would rival some other straight pours out there. Does this proposition pique your interest? Then sign up already since this class is limited to only 12 participants.
Earlier in the year we procured a single cask of ex-bourbon and peated single malt from the Milk and Honey (M&H) Distillery called Bee in my Bonnet. I named it that because this is an absolutely delicious and powerful single malt whisky that we should all be talking about and sharing sips with, It is lightly peated, so it’s a great gateway whisky for those trying to learn about peated whisky. It’s not a phenolic peat so those of you who think peated whiskies smell like bandaids, you will appreciate this. In addition, being ex-bourbon casked brings loads of honeyed sweetness and vanilla as well as a good level of char from being aged near the Dead Sea. The massive diurnal temperature change in the area is akin to aging whiskies in Texas so we know this whisky is going to be flavorful despite its youth.
On October 12th, 2023, Thursday evening from 6 to 7 pm, stop in for a taste of our pick as well as the core range from the distillery and meet Tal Chotiner. the M&H VP of international sales with close to 25 years of experience in the world of whisky. Tal used to work for Diageo in Israel and was a Johnnie walker Brand ambassador for the Middle east and “single malt advocate” from Diageo. When Tal is in Israel his job is to interrupt Tomer’s (Head Distiller & Blender) work with crazy ideas and stupid questions… I’m sure he has cool stories for us.
