Bold flavor. Smooth finish.
Crafted small batch, aged to impress.

In the mood for something lighter so I took out Hancock’s Reserve. This bottle gets a lot of hate (from myself included). It’s thin and not much flavor with a nonexistent finish. But with that in mind it’s actually a very pleasant light/easy experience.
I think a beginner would really enjoy this bottle because there is no infamous burn or ethanol. I can turn my brain off and just enjoy this pour.

Saturday’s bourbon hunt took me into the Hudson Valley, where I stopped at one of my favorite local shops, @mironwineandspirits . They always have great bottles on the shelf, and their store picks are worth a look if you’re hunting for something good.
I picked up an Old Fitzgerald 7 Year Bottled in Bond at MSRP, and I’ve got to say, I really like this one. The bottle looks great, and it’s nice seeing Heaven Hill release an Old Fitz that’s a little more accessible.
On the nose I got sweet oak, vanilla, caramel, orchard fruit, brown sugar, and cinnamon. The palate was smooth and sweet, with notes of apple, pear, toffee, baking spice, and rich oak. The finish brought more cinnamon, caramel, and lingering spice.
Not the most complex Old Fitz I’ve had, but definitely a smooth, easy sipper and worth buying if you spot it at MSRP.

First post, and thought what better first post than my first pour on the new Sipping & Smoking deck off the back of the Lounge. A great space to unwind after a long day. And these Penelope Cocktails makes it even easier, no mess, no fuss, just enjoyment and relaxation.
Old Grand Dad 114 is a bartenders favorite bourbon to make cocktails with and it’s easy to see why. Nice classic oak bourbon flavors and the proof to punch through the ice and sweeteners added to old fashioned’s.
I like the flexibility of this bottle but I mainly use it for my cocktails and it never disappoints.
