I’ll admit it – Instagram ads got me. I ended up buying the Craftmix Black Cherry Old Fashioned cocktail packets. We spent $14.99 for a packet of 12, which breaks down to about $1.25 (alcohol not included). If you are not familiar, these are cocktail or mocktail packets that you can mix with either alcohol…

Catoctin Creek Hot Honey Rye
Catoctin (Ka-tock-tin) Creek is the first legal distillery in Loudoun County Virginia since before Prohibition. It was founded by Becky and Scott Harris in 2009.

Old Fashioned – Tree House Brewery
I must admit, I had absolutely no expectations for this Tree House Brewery Old Fashioned. Allow me to elaborate. I came across this Old Fashioned when I ordered their Coquito.

Old Forester Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Bought a mini of this bourbon as I wasn’t sure I was going to like it and I’m very glad I did. Not because it’s a bad bourbon but, because I have plenty of other bourbons in my collection that simply rival this one if not are better. Nose: vanilla and tobaccoPalate: spices, rye, bitter…
