    Whiskey Wednesday: The Three Chamber Rye

    The Three Chamber Rye journey is one that I have followed for years, for at least as long as I’ve been writing Bottled-In-Bond, LA. In fact it was something that I was able to taste right off the three-chambered still before it had ever been bottled. The pressure of those years since tasting the white…

    Whiskey Wednesday: The Open Story of Uncle Nearest

    Today is not about depleting old bottles but celebrating something relatively new that honors something very old. A story that was an open secret yet like all open secrets unacknowledged. And being unacknowledged also means it’s a story not told. This is the story of Uncle Nearest. Nathan “Nearest” Green was a slave in Tennessee…

  • Quarantine Bottle Kill #9: Elijah Craig 12 Year (From Long Ago In The Before Time)

    Quarantine Bottle Kill #9: Elijah Craig 12 Year (From Long Ago In The Before Time)

    There’s a sense of static in the air these past few weeks of quarantine. Not of any sense of normal but certainly of familiarity. A sense of sameness and of the world outside the familiar walls drifting away. But also there’s that electrical charge like anything can and could happen at any moment. The world…

  • Quarantine Bottle Kill #8: Kilchoman Sauternes Cask Matured (2016)

    Quarantine Bottle Kill #8: Kilchoman Sauternes Cask Matured (2016)

    It feels like the quarantine weeks are quickly going up in smoke. That’s probably because half of the home bar is Islay Whisky right now. Is that a forced transition? You bet it is. I thoroughly enjoy heavily peated whisky. I often use Octomore as an example of just how good a Scotch Whisky can…

    Quarantine Bottle Kill #7: Drouin Pomme Prisonnière

    I think the biggest thing people feel they have lost from this whole quarantine is time. Time lost on their career. Time lost to spend with loved ones. Even the time to simply plan. The future looks so uncertain that it filters back into the present spreading a malaise over each individual moment. And while…

    Quarantine Bottle Kill #6: Tanqueray #10 and the 5:00 Martini

    It’s not all about whiskey over here. Just like this weekly bottle talk isn’t just about drinking. It’s a mental check in with myself and an attempt to connect with my community as we shelter and wonder what our industry will look like once we start hosting happy hours outside of digital boxes again. When…

    Quarantine Bottle Kill #5: Longrow Red 11 Year Cabernet Sauvignon Cask

    Just because we’re in quarantine doesn’t mean that there can’t be a theme. Aside from sparking joy by eliminating bottles from the booze cart that is. So next up on the quarantine bottle list is the cousin to the last, the Longrow 11 Year Red: Cabernet Sauvignon Cask. For all single malts produced in Scotland…

    Quarantine Bottle Kill #4: Single Oak Project #156

    I’m trying to cut down on the quarantine drinking so today’s bottle is a single 375 of Buffalo Trace Single Oak Project. The Single Oak Project was a massive Bourbon experiment that was begun by Buffalo Trace in 2011. The goal was to break down the very DNA of Bourbon and be able to catalogue…

  • Quarantine Bottle Kill #3: Springbank 12 Year Cask Strength Burgundy

    Quarantine Bottle Kill #3: Springbank 12 Year Cask Strength Burgundy

    Springbank has always been a fascinating distillery to me. I intellectually love them. They are one of the last great Campbeltown distilleries. Located on Kintyre Peninsula, Campbeltown was once known as “the whisky capital of the world” with 28 distilleries packed into its borders. Today a measly three remain with one of them, Glengyle which…

    Quarantine Bottle Kill #2: Woodford Reserve Rare Rye

    The next victim of the Quarantine Bottle Count is the Woodford Reserve Master’s Collection Rare Rye twins from 2011. Yes, I’ve been sitting on two open 375ml bottles for nine years. Don’t judge me. Let’s put this into context. Nine years ago rye whiskey was just becoming the hot item after decades of obscurity. And…
