Friday Tastings: Knob Creek Single Barrel

-By Craig Bridger, Friday April 15th, 2011 at 4:00 pm

If you’ve ever had the experience of re-reading a classic novel that you dismissed in high school (The Great Gatsby comes to mind), only to be staggered by its depth a decade or two later, you’ll have an idea of … read more →

Friday Tastings: Pisco Portón

-By Craig Bridger, Friday April 8th, 2011 at 4:31 pm

Unless you mix drinks for a living, or hail from Peru, we’re guessing you’re not acquainted with pisco, the strange, un-aged Peruvian brandy that is the country’s national beverage (a continuing sore point for Chileans, who also produce the stuff). … read more →

Friday Tastings: Early Times 354 Bourbon

-By Craig Bridger, Friday February 18th, 2011 at 5:03 pm

Something about the thimble’s worth of $18,000 Scotch we were treated to last week at Jean Georges (the new Highland Park 50-Year-Old, if you’ve got an extra salary burning a hole in your pocket) left us yearning for its opposite: … read more →

Friday Tastings: Pierde Almas Mezcal

-By Craig Bridger, Friday January 28th, 2011 at 6:18 pm

Mezcal—tequila’s smoky, rustic, long-neglected ancestor (tequila is a mezcal made without smoke; for a better explanation, go here)—continues to enjoy a stateside renaissance.  Which brings us to Pierde Almas, a fine new line of mezcals that has almost launched in … read more →

Friday Tastings: Redbreast 15-Year-Old Whiskey

-By Craig Bridger, Friday January 14th, 2011 at 3:28 pm

Shameful.  Four months of Friday wassail, and not one Irish in the mix. We’re happy to make amends with this delectable new 15-year-old from Redbreast, makers of strapping, pure-pot-still (taking nothing from thinner-blooded, column-still distillates) Irish whiskey. Redbreast’s standard 12-year-old … read more →

Friday Tastings: Beefeater Winter Edition Gin

-By Craig Bridger, Friday January 7th, 2011 at 6:02 pm

In the past year, veteran Master Distiller Desmond Payne has done a lot to recharge Beefeater’s image as a sort of sexless grandpa gin (inaccurate, but there you go). He created Beefeater 24, adding exotic Japanese and Chinese teas to … read more →

One of the Best from 2010…And One for 2011

-By Craig Bridger, Friday December 31st, 2010 at 2:15 pm

Champagne’s hegemony over the New Year’s Eve toast will not be disputed here, but there are plenty of boozing hours before it’s time to crank up “Auld Lang Syne.” And with best-of lists choking the interwebs, we’d like to put … read more →

All in the Family

-By Craig Bridger, Monday December 6th, 2010 at 5:50 pm

Anymore, when it comes to booze, the phrase limited edition is like the organic designation at the grocery store: it’s on everything.  Which is just one reason—but an important reason—why we’re excited to plug the 2010 Antique Collection from the … read more →
