Friday tasting 4pm-7pm

Tonight we have a special tasting and we putting our regular beer tasting on hold until tomorrow (details to follow).

Once in awhile we find something that really excites us and today we are featuring one such item. If you have been watching the trends like we do you will notice that Bourbon and Scotch have had a huge resurgence in the past few years. The catagory was all but dead just a decade ago and we were watching as the bottles or "brown liquor" sat on the shelf with hardly any movement. However, in the recent years we have begun to notice how Scotch, Bourbon and Rye are regaining their popularity. There has been a shift though... it seems that the people that are enjoying this catagory of spirits like the good stuff. Some items like Pappy Van Winkle, Thomas H. Handy Sazerak and a few others have long waiting lists for the small amount of product available in the market. There are many single malt Scotches and small batch whiskies available and no shortage of interest in trying them. Cocktails like Old fashions, Side cars and Manhattans are also getting the upgrade as folks are using these great whiskies to reproduce the cocktails from a bygone era. It is interesting that the past truly does repeat itself. I guess mom new what she was talking about afterall. Anyway, a couple of weeks ago one of our reps walked in with this new product called Bastille Handcrafted Whiskey. It is a french whiskey made in the Cognac region of france and is very good, in fact it is an item that I have been recommending along with other members of our staff to many people and have been getting very good feedback on it. To taste it is to love it and it runs somewhere between a bourbon, a Scotch and a Cognac. Very elegant with soft richness, pretty floral and vanillian character and a great finish that seems to linger forever. Review here

We'll put that up on the blog tomorrow but for now, consider coming down today and joining us for this special tasting and taste a unique and delicious new item with a great price for todays event
